La fin de l'histoire avec Germaine... the end of the Love story with Germaine(*)
(*) [Flemmish translation of the song uses Nadine instead of Germaine]
Translated Lyrics / Les bonbons - Candies
I come to have my candies back
You see, Germaine, you hurt me much
When laughing about my long hair
It's the rupture, stupid and brutal
I come to have my candies back
Now I am another boy
I live at Georges V hotel
I have lost my Brussel's accent
Anyway, no one has such an accent anymore
Except Brel on television
I come to have my candies back
When father bothers me, I tell him F***
I tell mom she's neurotic
I confess dad is pretty cool
and mom is a bit snob
But you know, it's all about generations conflict
I come to have my candies back
And on every saturday nights - if I can
Germaine, I listen to my hair growing longer
I go "gurgles", I go "yummy"
I demonstrate shouting "Peace for Vietnam!"
Coz I have my opinions
I come to have my candies back
But Oh this is your younger brother Mrs Germaine, right?
Mmmm... The one who can speak Flemmish
Oh...(talking to the brother) I have candies for you....
