Eva aime (smoke gets in your eyes)

Eva loves (smoke gets in your eyes)

Cet air-là l'emmène au paradise

This air takes him to paradise

Au lit dans ses holidays on ice

In bed in his holidays on ice

Eva aime (smoke gets in your eyes)

Eva loves (smoke gets in your eyes)

Ah comme parfois j'aimerais qu'elle aille

Ah how sometimes I wish she would go

Se faire foutre avec (smoke gets in your eyes)

Getting fucked with (smoke gets in your eyes)

Dans mon nid d'aigle ses espiègles rires jaillissent

In my eagle's nest its mischievous laughter springs forth

Elle me fait voir sa petite barbe de maïs

She shows me her little corn beard

Mais j'peux pas faire l'amour, mes nerfs me trahissent

But I can't make love, my nerves betray me

Quand j'entends (smoke gets in your eyes)

When I hear (smoke gets in your eyes)

Eva aime (smoke gets in your eyes)

Eva loves (smoke gets in your eyes)

Il faut que je casse ce disque

I have to break this record

Avant que je la haïsse

Before I hated her

Et que cet air américain m'envahisse

And let this American air invade me
