C’est l’Halloween It’s Halloween
Les sorcières sortent le soir,
Les fantômes aussi.
Le ciel est tout noir,
les nuages sont gris.
Est-ce que tu as peur des méchants esprits ?
Ô monsieur, oui, oui, oui, oui !
Translation

Witches come out at night,
So do ghosts.
The sky is all black,
The clouds are grey.
Are you afraid of evil spirits?
Oh, sir, yes, yes, yes, yes!

Pendant l’Halloween
tu peux être ce que tu veux.
Un tigre féroce,
ou un serpent bleu.
Il se fait tard, rentres-tu à la maison ?
Ô madame, non, non, non, non !

Refrain

Translation

On Halloween,
You can be what you want.
A ferocious tiger,
or a blue snake.
It’s getting late, are you going home?
Oh, ma’am, no, no, no, no!

Chorus

La lune, elle est pleine,
le hibou, il crie.
De toutes les branches
pendent des chauves-souris.
Est-ce que tu as peur de cette nuit ?
Ô madame, oui, oui, oui, oui !

Refrain …

Translation

The moon is full,
the owl hoots.
From every branch
hang bats.
Are you afraid of this night?
Oh, ma’am, yes, yes, yes, yes!

Chorus …
