On est bien peu de chose
And that's what my friend the rose
Et mon amie la rose
Told me this morning
Me l'a dit ce matin.

Je me suis ?panouie
In the rays of the sun

Yet I had been beautiful
Pourtant j'?tais tr?s belle

Of all the flowers in your garden

We are truly insignificant
On est bien peu de chose
And that's what my friend the rose
Et mon amie la rose
Told me this morning
Me l'a dit ce matin.
