L’Inconnue Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Seven girls
Seven girls at the end of day
She who sings
She who prays
Side by side
In a line
See their eyes
[Verse 2]
Eyes that show
Eyes that show what's you
True today
Seven ways
Eyes that shine
Silent skies
Show a way
[Verse 3]
What is you
Where is she today
Saw my girl
From within
She who sways
She who spins
Seventh girl
[Verse 4]
Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept
Toutes les filles ne sont pas prêtes
Vers l'église et vers la Seine
Toute leurs cœurs et toute leur peine
[Verse 5]
Petit ange et l'inconnue
Sainte, la pute et l'ingénue
Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept
Toutes les filles ne sont pas prêtes
[Chorus]
Little girl, you could be loved
Little girl, you should be loved
The moment you say you know
Is the moment you are
Little girl, you could be loved
Little girl, you should be loved
The moment you say you know
Is the moment you are
[Verse 4]
Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept
Toutes les filles ne sont pas prêtes
Vers l'église et vers la Seine
Toute leurs cœurs et toute leur peine
[Verse 5]
Petit ange et l'inconnue
Sainte, la pute et l'ingénue
Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept
Toutes les filles ne sont pas prêtes
