In the wake of her perfume, I could have followed her for hours
Today she steals mine
What a joy
A few silver threads betray
The insolence of her black hair
She no longer tries to look younger
What a pleasure

Much less effort in the long run
She lets her true nature show
It always upsets me when she cries
That's for sure

The 8th wonder of the world is a barefoot countess
A goddess fallen from the sky
It's all women
In one woman
The 8th wonder of the world
Is a barefoot countess
A goddess fallen from the sky
It's all women
In one woman
But what a woman
This woman

Five stars opening the door
In warm and subdued atmospheres
Paying the bill for our whims
I loved
And then to send everything flying
Good manners and the pavement
Running the unfinished lands
That she perfumes
But where she disarms me
Where I fall to her knees
Is that nothing impresses her anymore
Except us

The 8th wonder of the world is a barefoot countess
A goddess fallen from the sky
It's all women
In one woman
The 8th wonder of the world
Is a barefoot countess
A goddess fallen from the sky
The power in everything she sows
The 8th wonder of the world
Is a barefoot countess
A goddess fallen from the sky
The power in everything she sows
And this woman
This woman
Is mine
