lyrics

Peau d’âne (see translation below)

"Ma chère enfant ce serait une grande faute que d'épouser votre père. C'est très simple: il faut le décourager sans le contredire.
_ Mais je l'aime!
_ Je sais que vous l'aimez! Mais je vous l'ai déjà dit: vous confondez les amours.
_ Il me presse et je dois lui rendre réponse demain.
_ La situation mérite attention. Mon enfant, on n'épouse jamais ses parents, vous aimez votre père, je comprends. Quelques soient vos raisons, quelques soient pour lui vos sentiments, mon enfant, on n'épouse pas plus sa maman, on dit que traditionellement des questions de culture et de législatures décidèrent en leur temps qu'on ne mariait pas les filles avec leur papa."


Peau d’âne
Princesse sous ta peau d’âne
Pure d’âme
Et ton daddy qui s’enflamme
Tu l’aimes tant, tu aimes tant l’amour
Mais ça ne se peut pas
Pas avec ce papa là
Aime bien ton amour
Aime-le toujours


English Translation:

My dear child, you would commit a great fault if you married your father. It is very simple: you must discourage him without contradicting him
_ But I love him!
_ I know you love him! But I have told you already: you mix up loves.
_ He is pressuring me, and i must give him an answer tomorrow!
_ The situation deserves attention. My child, one never marries one's parents, you love your father, I do understand. Whatever your reasons, whatever feelings you have for him, my child, one does not marry one's mom either, it is said that traditionally, cultural and legislative matters decided in their time that one did not marry daughters with their daddy.

Donkey skin,
Princess under your donkey skin,
Pure in your soul
And your daddy who burns for you
You love it/him so much, you love love so much
But this can't be done
Not with this daddy
Do love your love
Love it/him always.
