Moi j’peu pas t’oublier, bèbè
Tu savais que moi j’t’aimer
Tu savez que moi j’t’aimer, catin
De puis l’age de quatorze ans

Oh Marie, catin
Garde donc ça t’as fait
Garde donc t’apres m’quitter
‘Pres quitter ton pauvre vieux nèg, bèbè


I can’t forget you, baby
You know that I loved you
You knew that I loved you
Since I was fourteen

Oh, Marie, doll
Look what you’ve done
Look at that…You are leaving
Leaving your poor old lover, baby
