La publicité, la publicité,
La publicité diminue diminue…
Telle la mer qui se retire,
C’est un spectacle de jazz qui s’éteint.
Je rentre chez moi. Vite,
J’prends mes clés!

Mon paradis c'est Paris,Même quand il est gris,Des bords de Marne à la rue de Rivoli,Il y flott' un air de fête,Mon paradis c'est Paris.
Un parfum de bohême anime les faubourgs,On s'encanaille on s'aime, et jusqu'au petit jour,Belles Gueules et garçonnes, poètes et dandysOn ne refuse personne, pourvu qu'on aime la vie !

English translation :

MON PARADIS
My paradise is ParisEven on grey daysFrom the banks of the Marne to the rue de RivoliA festive tune floats on the airMy paradise is Paris
A scent of bohemia perfumes suburbsWe take chances, we make love till the first lights of dawnHandsome chaps and flappers, poets and dandiesAll welcome, so long as they are lovers of life

C’est fini
Mon chériC’est finiC’est la vieJe m’ennuieMais je t’oublieC’est la vieTant pis
Nous n’irons plus dans cette chambre bleueAvec un balcon sur la merNous n’aurons plus tous ces matins grisEnlacés mais solitaires

English translation :

It’s over
That’s lifeIt’s overMy darlingThat’s lifeI am boredBut I forget youThat’s lifeToo bad
We’ll never go again to that blue roomWith a balcony over the seaWe’ll never again see those grey morningsEntwined but alone

Les jambes des femmesSont des ciseauxElles tranchent la vieEn petits morceauxComme des becs d’oiseaux enivrésVolant au-dessus de la mer
Moi j’aime avoir les pieds sur terreRacines au sol et tête en l’airPour contempler le ciel d’azurEt le spectacle de ces fruits murs
Les mains des femmesDes papillonsElles parlent et jouentCaressent aussiElles sont des griffes de lionnes sauvagesTiennent la vie
Et les hommes aussi
Ma chère MadeleineN’est pas comme çaDe ces dix doigts
M’étreint le cœurSes belles gambettesSont toujours prêtes
Pour une ballade
A bicyclette

English translation :
Les Jambes des Femmes
Ladies’s legs
Are scissorsThey cut life upInto little piecesLike beaks of drunken birdsFlying over the sea

Myself, I like having my feet on the groundRooted to the soil and my head in the cloudsTo contemplate the azur skyAnd the spectacle of ripened fruits
Ladies’ handsAre butterfliesThey talk and playAnd caress
They are the claws of wild lionessesGripping lifeAnd, at the same time, men
My dear MadeleineIs that not howThese ten fingersTighten my heartHer beautiful legsAre always

readyFor a bicycle ride

Lay back just for an hourAnd hold on ‘till I get there
You say you feel you’ve got no powerJust let me in and I shall take care
Your wings seem broken you can’t unfold them
Your pain’s unspoken you can’t move on
Cool down let me embrace youBreathe in and welcome the air
You say you’ve got none to hold on toJust lean on me we’ve got so much to share
Your wings will open just dare to move them
All pain that’s spoken is half overcome
You see life’s just like a flowerWaiting to bloom if handled with care
Cheer up, no need to cower

Go on you‘re almost there
Your wings wide open allow you to move againTo live in hope and then fly away

Oh why don't you take me to the moonI'll fly with you in a baloonand there you'll kiss me
and we will walk back to you.
Oh this is just happening all too soonmy life looks like a cartoonand then you'll kiss meand i am all stuck with you.
And I oh Ijust wanna fly highwhatever you say i'll blindly go your wayto the sky
And when we kissit seems as if we're glued togetherforever and ever'till the end of time.
Oh why don't you take me to the moonI'll fly with you in a baloonand there you'll kiss me
and we will walk back to you.
Tu tu ru tu to you.

Caught up in poetryWrapped in its symmetrySeeing things the way they areWatching each memoryRoll out in front of meAs far as the eye can seeNever be what they wantedAlways be who you areRapt in a reverieLost in its mystery
These seas we’ll safely sail
