What were they singing in Lady Marmalade?

You know that songback in 2002 with P!nk, Christina Aguilara, Lil’ Kim and Mya? (Lady Marmalade) Well I couldnt exactly catch what they were saying so I looked up the lyrics and I was like they were speaking French. Can anyone translate the lyrics?

Answer #1

And for the record, the 2002 song was a remake of the Labelle song from 1974. History lesson!

Answer #2

Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir

Roughly translates to Do you want to sleep with me tonight

Answer #3

the basic meaning of the chorus is “‘will you sleep with/have sex with me”‘

Answer #4

We’ll as said the basic meaning of the chorus is ‘’will you sleep with me (tonight)?’’

But that’s in reference to Moulin Rouge, which is a Burlesque house.

So basically they’re singing about being ‘’high class prostitutes’’…
