SONG: Michelle by Paul McCartney

This is a great song to learn English vocabulary if you are a French speaker!
Ceci est une bonne chanson pour apprendre le vocabulaire anglais si vous êtes un locuteur natif français!

I have a lovely young student who enjoys singing and playing guitar. This post is for her!

Lyrics

Michelle, ma belle
These are words that go together well
My Michelle

Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble

I love you, I love you, I love you
That's all I want to say
Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know that
You'll understand

Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble

I need to, I need to, I need to
I need to make you see
Oh, what you mean to me
Until I do I'm hoping you will
Know what I mean

I love you
I want you, I want you, I want you
I think you know by now
I'll get to you somehow
Until I do I'm telling you so
You'll understand

Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble

I will say the only words I know
That you'll understand, my Michelle

Watch Paul McCartney sing it!
