Medias de Seda

In the afternoon by car, top down,
Very proud you go for a stroll,
With your skirt pulled up
Because you want to show off your legs.
Legs that look, flirtatiously,
Silk stockings in beige,
That make your tiny feet
In cute shoes look even prettier.

Fine silk stockings
That you adore so much,
Fine silk stockings
With a mysterious charm.
In the crazy temptation
Of your most intimate quarrels,
You evicted those
Very humble cotton ones.

First stockings, then dresses,
Then a 'garçonne' haircut,
Good hats, fine jewelry,
And a very flirtatious parrot.
Car rides, night at the club,
Wild parties, crazy illusion,
It was the fine silk stockings
That caused your downfall.
