Eartha Kitt – Je Cherche Un Homme

In class we learned about Eartha Kitt because Madame X liked her music. We listened to a song called Je Cherche Un Homme (I Look For a Man). I’m not particularly a fan of the song, but I could tolerate it 🙂

Here are the translated lyrics:

I look for a man, for a man, for a man
A Pierre, a Paul, a Jacques or Tom
It does not matter to me how he is called
If he is a man, a man, a man

I do not require an Apollo
Who knows how to shine in lounges(shows)
Nor a chap as strong as a Samson
As long as I have a good mate

He does not need to be a billionaire
That he is beautiful, no, I do not care
It does not need to be a big light
Star of the cinema (movie star) nor crown prince

I look for a man, for a man, for a man
That his name is Pierre or Paul or Tom
If he gives his maximum
I look for a man, for a man, for a man

Doesn’t have to be prince or movie star
A Texas oil man or a french marquis
Doesn’t have to be handsome as a picture
An ordinary guy’s all right with me

I look for a man, for a man, for a man
That his name is Pierre or Paul
