Stromae Moules Frites (English Translation) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Do you know what he told me, Paulo?
Or rather what his little birdie told him
When the latter gets up
It’s because the shellfish of his dreams
Got out of the water
And now he sings:
[Chorus]
Paulo likes mussels & fries
Without fries and without mayo
Paulo likes mussels & fries
Without fries and without mayo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yooo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yooo
[Verse 2]
But before he sits down to eat
He always drinks a glass of white wine
To get rid of the awful
Sour and bitter taste of the ocean
And he’s so agile, Paulo
He doesn’t even have to beg
And it’s so easy every time
But this time she’s a little less innocent
Than Paulo thought
But as long as she was screaming:[Chorus]
Paulo likes mussels & fries
Without fries and without mayo
Paulo likes mussels & fries
Without fries and without mayo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yooo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yooo
[Verse 3]
But he should’ve been more careful, Paulo
‘Cause no one knows where she’d been swimming
Since she was contaminated Paulo will sing no more
Or maybe once more when he’s buried, Paulo
We will all sing:
[Outro]
Paulo liked mussels & fries
Without fries and without mayo
Your turn, Paulo
Paulo liked mussels & fries
Without fries and without mayo
We will all sing for you
Yo yo yo, yo yo yooo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yooo
