Guitares et mandolines
Guitares et mandolinesOnt des sons qui font aimer.Tout en croquant des pralinesPépa se laisse charmerQuand, jetant dièses, bécarres,Mandolines et guitaresVibrent pour la désarmer.Mandoline avec guitareAccompagnent de leur bruitLes amants suivant le phareDe la beauté dans la nuit.Et Juana montre, féline,(Guitare avec mandoline)Sa bouche et son œil qui luit.
Guitar and mandolin
Guitar and mandolinCause you to fall in love.While crunching pralines,Pepe lets herself be charmedWhen, sounding sharps and flats,Mandolin and guitarResound to disarm her.Mandolin and guitarAccompany with their soundLovers who follow the beaconOf beauty in the night;And feline Juana flashes(Guitar and mandolin)Her gleaming eyes and mouth.

Tout en croquant des pralines
Pépa se laisse charmer
Quand, jetant dièses, bécarres,
Mandolines et guitares
Vibrent pour la désarmer.
Mandoline avec guitare
Accompagnent de leur bruit
Les amants suivant le phare
De la beauté dans la nuit.

Guitar and mandolin
Guitar and mandolin
Cause you to fall in love.
While crunching pralines,
Pepe lets herself be charmed
When, sounding sharps and flats,
Mandolin and guitar
Resound to disarm her.
Mandolin and guitar
Accompany with their sound
Lovers who follow the beacon
Of beauty in the night;
And feline Juana flashes
(Guitar and mandolin)
Her gleaming eyes and mouth.
