Love is an escargot
Twist the screw 'round and 'round
It comes softly sneaking in
To me within my shell
I open and close the windows
Because I am just a little timid
Always unable to take a step forward
Surrounded by nothing but horns of love
Since I'm so very sensitive, it's troubling
At the café on the sunny street
My spoon goes flying out of my hand
Chasing the wind, it breaks through the forest
And lodges itself within your chest
My head is an escargot
Liking, hating, and loving
Your kiss makes my eyes spin
The two of us play hide-and-seek
Garçon, this illicit love affair
No, you've got to hold me more tightly
I'm happy on occasions when you visit all of a sudden
But a rose-colored illness
Twists the bones of love
Every day is full of these sweet
And funny memories
To live without you
Would be a wretched life
Love is an escargot
Twist the screw 'round and 'round
Even if it means dragging everyone in with it
Me within my shell
I expose my heart then hide it
For I am a rather contrary person
This flan of passion
It's best to eat it while still hot
So that love may scorch your chest
Twist the screw 'round and 'round
More and more, 'round and 'round
Twist the screw 'round and 'round
It comes softly sneaking in
To me within my shell
I open and close the windows
Because I am just a little timid
Always unable to take a step forward
Surrounded by nothing but horns of love
Since I'm so very sensitive, it's troubling
At the café on the sunny street
My spoon goes flying out of my hand
Chasing the wind, it breaks through the forest
And lodges itself within your chest
My head is an escargot
Liking, hating, and loving
Your kiss makes my eyes spin
The two of us play hide-and-seek
Garçon, this illicit love affair
No, you've got to hold me more tightly
I'm happy on occasions when you visit all of a sudden
But a rose-colored illness
