The Charm of Beautiful Women

I had leaned on the bar of the balcony, when suddenly My eyes and my mind have captured, from far away A silhouette creeping down the steps and the stairs Imitating a sassy ballerina with great skills and care It's like a prima donna which was galloping gallantly The mystical diva had an extraordinarily Kif-kif style which could cause any man to shiver She was so cute that I had bit really hard the palm Of my right hand, as a sign of love, respect and envy About fifteen meters away, I had found her so pretty That my legs were frantically shaking. So powerful as a bomb That I almost fell from the celestial clouds. The charm, beauty And elegance of this muse were unparalleled The Mighty Lord knows how to build wonders that are Sensational, lascivious, wholesome, perfect even irreproachable This angelic passerby had replied to my bonjour Freezing me until her outlines and edges had classically detoured Oh! Wonderful Lord, she was so fine and adorable That my tongue had grown heavy and my face had sunk into the bay The charm of beautiful women was superfine and mysteriously sassy God knows when and how to make men sweltering and happy Power lies with souls that are delightfully charming and flowery O Woman! It’s very pleasant to dream at night and a little all day. P.S. Translation of ‘Le Charme Des Belles Femmes’.
