Zou Bisou Bisou

If you have no clue what “Zou Bisou Bisou” meant, you are behind the trend, my friend. :)

It is the hottest song online now, popularised by an American drama TV series set in the 1960s titled Mad Men.

That particular season five episode goes that the main character Don Draper’s new wife had thrown him a surprise party. All of his colleagues and friends were invited.

Just as the rest were worried that Don would be displeased over the surprise party, his wife had the perfect gift to pacify him. Her present for him was a live performance of the song – Zou Bisou Bisou in French.

It wasn’t a difficult task and I don’t think he can stay angry for long in that situation. They were newly wed and she sang the song sultrily. While she made her hubby rather embarrassed, but I think he was quite pleased.

On a separate note, I like her long bob hair. *admire*

Because of that memorable performance in that episode, the song went viral online. The network seems to have predicted the success of this song and it was released as a single on iTunes the next day.

I was hooked on the song as well. Quite catchy and I already can sing the “zou bisou zou bisou” part. Haha.

If you are wondering, the catchy song wasn’t a new song. It was an French oldies sang by a 16 year old Gillian Hills. The video below is the original rendition.

The song title Zou Bisou Bisou meant Oh, Kiss Kiss in English.

And Sophia Loren also sang an English version of the same song titled “Zoo Be Zoo Be Zoo”.

Translated meaning:

Zou kiss kiss {x3}
Zou Zou kiss kiss
My God they are sweet
Zou kiss kiss {x3}
Zou Zou kiss kiss
The sound of kisses
In the bushes, beneath the sky of the month of August has
Lovers glide stealthily
Like birds they go
Is heard everywhere, hoo!
Zou kiss kiss {x3}
Zou Zou kiss kiss
My God they are sweet
Hoo, hoo!
(Kiss kiss Zou)
But tell me, do you know (kiss kiss Zou)
What it means to us
(Zou Zou kiss kiss kiss kiss zou
My God it's sweet)
What it means to shoo kiss?
(Kiss kiss Zou)
That means I must confess (Zou kiss kiss)
But yes I do love you
Kiss kiss kiss zou zou zou kiss
My God it's sweet
But no need bushes of the month of August-a
When you kiss me gently on the neck
For it is curious, you know, I confess
It makes me everywhere, hoo!
Zou kiss kiss {x3}
Zou Zou kiss kiss
My God it's sweet
Hoo, hoo!
Zou kiss kiss
Zou Zou kiss kiss
Of little kisses
Zou kiss kiss
Oh!

Zou Bisou Bisou – French Lyrics

Zou bisou bisou {x3}
Zou bisou zou bisou
Mon Dieu qu'ils sont doux
Zou bisou bisou {x3}
Zou bisou zou bisou
Le bruit des bisous
Dans les buissons, sous le ciel du mois-a d'août
Les amoureux glissent à pas de loup
Comme les oiseaux ils ont rendez-vous
On entend partout, hou !
Zou bisou bisou {x3}
Zou bisou zou bisou
Mon Dieu qu'ils sont doux
Hou, hou !
(Zou bisou bisou)
Mais dites-moi, savez-vous (Zou bisou bisou)
Ce que veut dire entre nous
(Zou bisou bisou zou bisou zou bisou
Mon Dieu que c'est doux)
Ce que veut dire zou bisou ?
(Zou bisou bisou)
Ça veut dire je vous l'avoue (Zou bisou bisou)
Mais oui je n'aime que vous
Zou bisou bisou zou bisou zou bisou
Mon Dieu que c'est doux
Mais pas besoin des buissons du mois-a d'août
Quand tu m'embrasses doucement dans le cou
Car c'est curieux, tu vois, je l'avoue
Ça me fait partout, hou !
Zou bisou bisou {x3}
Zou bisou zou bisou
Mon Dieu que c'est doux
Hou, hou !
Zou bisou bisou
Zou bisou zou bisou
Des petits bisous
Zou bisou bisou
Oh !
