Now playing on my French song playlist:

Title: La seule qui t’aime (French version of “Pretty Little Baby”) by Connie Francis

Songwriters: Don Stirling and Bill Nauman

Performed by Connie Francis

Lyrics I like:

La seule qui t’aime, c’est moi
La seule qui t’aime, c’est moi
Bien mieux que personne, je sais te plaire
Sur toi je façonne mon caractère
Aucune autre au monde ne t’offre autant d’amour
Ce que tu vas dire, je l’imagine

Translation:

The only one who loves you is me
The only one who loves you is me
Better than anyone, I know how to please you
I shape my character on you
No one else in the world offers you so much love
I can imagine what you’re going to say

“Pretty Little Baby” by American actress and singer, Connie Francis, was released in 1962. Due to its recent popularity on social media, international versions of the song were re-released in May 2025. While this French version is not a direct translation of the original English version, the lovey-dovey sentiment and melody are the same.

Francis, the first woman to have a song hit Number 1 in the U.S. with her 1960 song, “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool,” passed away at the age of 87 on July 16, 2025.

I like to listen to songs en français, so I won’t forget the French I learned in school!

Until next Music Monday, have a great week ahead. ☀️
