Do you lie?

Anybody here know French? Can you tell me what that girl is saying before the song starts?

My mum, who used to learn french said it meant
"Children who tell lies don't go to heaven."
I would love this to be confirmed - anyone?

yeah...I'm doing this from memory and the grammar may not be perfect but she says:

"Les enfants qui mentent, ne vont pas au paradis" (or maybe it's "a paradis").

Translation: Children who lie don't go to Paradise/Heaven.

So who says it.??...maybe Marie Claire, the clothing designer who did the French rap on Girls and Boys?

The full transcription is:

Les enfants qui mentent ne vont pas au paradis
{Children who lie don't go 2 heaven}
(OK) OK, merci {OK, thank U}

I just think it's mean for a child to say and it's saying "if you lie you go to hell"
