Ah! I laugh at seeing myself
as such a beauty in this mirror,
Ah! I laugh at seeing myself
as such a beauty in this mirror,
Is that you, Marguerite, is that really you?
Answer me, answer me,
Answer, answer, answer quickly!
No! No! it’s no longer you!
No ... no, that’s no longer your face;
This face is the face of the daughter of a king;
Not you anymore -
it’s the face of someone that people will salute to as she walks by
Ah, if he were here!
If he saw me so!
Like such a young lady
He would find me to be so beautiful, Ah!
Such a young lady
that he would find to be a beauty!

Let's finish this transformation,
I still long to try on
the bracelet and the necklace!
God! it's like a hand
that gently rests on my arm! ah! ah!
Ah! I laugh at seeing myself as such a beauty in this mirror!
