She has kind eyes
Ruby lips

How it would be pleasant
Gai lon la, my Joe, my chapess
How it would be pleasant
To get a kiss from her
To get a kiss from her, my Joe

It would be even pleasanter
To sleep with her
To sleep with her, my Joe

In a big white bed
Next to a candle
Next to a candle, my Joe
Next to a candle
Ladelay...

- 1. I don't know how to translate it, it's just nonsense syllables
- 2. "lurette" is the female version of "luron" which kind of means "fellow". I found someone mentioning "chapess" here: https://ask.metafilter.com/311599/She-fellow and there: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/chapess#English. I don't know if this word fits the context, usually "luron/lurette" are French words used in old songs to just fill the blanks, they don’t make much sense
