Le parfum sucre de vos roses s'evapore
Et moi je compose
Vous ne m'aurez jamais donne
Que le baiser du condamne

These flowers in your sweet hands
Just how I feel to you
If you could only touch me now

Just a ghostly paper sigh
Until you kiss me back to life
I'm soon to breathe the roses bloom

A thousand kisses say goodbye
And then they say you'll never die
A lonely fanfare blew
And then they sing to you

Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye!

All your flowers fill my room
And sing to me their happy tune
Like nature's flowers destined to die

A thousand hungry flowers
Loving you for hours and hours
Soon smothers me so tenderly

A thousand kisses say goodbye
And then they say you'll never die
A lonely fanfare blew
And then they sing to you

My lips are open wide
Stretched so far apart
searching for the last kiss
With my hands pressed tight to my head

Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye!

A thousand hungry flowers
Loving you for hours and hours
Soon smothers me so tenderly

Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye!

A thousand kisses say goodbye
And then they say you'll never die
A lonely fanfare blew
And then they sing to you
