Nothing...just a sudden end of a song.

What does the girl say in French on "Girls & Boys"?

Translation...?

Pardon my shabby French, but it's something like: "Les enfant que mentont n'vont pas au paradis." (The children who lie don't go to paradise.)

Now after clicking on this thread, in the 16+ years I've heard this, I just noticed this,

Thanks.

Oddly ebough, I always assumed it was something sexual, especially the way Prince moans and groans throughout whatever she's saying...

Also, it's much longer than your translation...but thanks for addressing it...

That's the french bit at the beginning of Do U Lie? (hence the reference to lieing). I've never been able to work out the french bit from girls and boys, it's a bit too quick for me!

...ah - quick internet search shows that she's actually saying the following:

{Translation in brackets}
Vous etiez de l'autre cote de la salle
{U were on the other end of the room/hall}
Vous dansiez si fort
{U were dancing so hard/strong}
Je sentais votre parfum
{I could smell your perfume}
Votre sourire me dit que nous devrions nous parler
{Your smile told me we should talk}
Sexe et repos
{Sex and rest}
Baby
Je sais que vous aimerez ca
{I know U'll like that}
Vous n'y resisterez pas
{U won't resist it/to it}
Baby
Je vous enlacerai avec mes jambes
{I'll wrap my legs around U}
Baby
Pendant des heures je vais vous etonner
{During hours I'll astound U (?)}
Baby
Faire l'amour Faire l'amour
{Make love make love}
Nous nous rencontrerons
{We'll meet}
