Barma says je vous aime pour tu Marie
How I want to marry you
Never, never have I proposed before
What I tell you is true

Barma says je vous aime pour tu Marie
How I want to marry you
I can promise most happy life with me
If you answer "I do"

I travel over mountain and hill
I even sail the tropical sea
I never feel excitement until
You look in the direction of me

Now the situation is clear
No more travelling will I do
Because I have a romantic ideal
And you know it's all about you

I'll build a house for you in the sun
And from the window we'll see the moon
We'll be the envy of ev'ryone
And we'll be more than two very soon

Barma says je vous aime pour tu Marie
How I want to marry you
Never, never have I proposed before
What I tell you is true

Barma says je vous aime pour tu Marie
How I want to marry you
I can promise most happy life with me
If you answer "I do"
