Comme a Ostende (original)Comme a Ostende (translation)
On voyait les chevaux d’la mer qui fonaient la tte la premire We could see the horses of the sea who were rushing head first
Et qui fracassaient leur crinire devant le casino dsert And who smashed their manes in front of the deserted casino
La barmaid avait dix-huit ans, et moi qui suis vieux comme l’hiver The bartender was eighteen, and I who am old as winter
Au lieu d’me noyer dans un verre, je m’suis balad dans l’printemps Instead of drowning in a glass, I strolled in the spring
De ses yeux taills en amande Of his almond-shaped eyes
Ni gris ni verts, ni gris ni verts, comme Ostende et comme partout Neither gray nor green, neither gray nor green, like Ostend and everywhere
Quand sur la ville tombe la pluie et qu’on s’demande si c’est utile When the rain falls on the city and we wonder if it's useful
Et puis surtout si a vaut l’coup, si a vaut l’coup d’vivre sa vie And above all if it's worth it, if it's worth it to live your life
J’suis parti vers ma destine, mais voil qu’une odeur de bire I left for my destiny, but there's only the smell of beer
De frites et de moules marinires m’attire dans un estaminet French fries and marinire mussels lure me into a tavern
L, y’avait des types qui buvaient, des rigolos, des tout rougeauds L, there were guys who were drinking, funny, red-faced
Qui s’esclaffaient, qui parlaient haut et la bire on vous la servait Who were laughing, who were talking loud and you were served the beer
Bien avant qu’on en redemande Long before we ask for more
Oui a pleuvait, oui a pleuvait comme Ostende et comme partout Yes it was raining, yes it was raining like Ostend and everywhere
Quand sur la ville tombe la pluie et qu’on s’demande si c’est utile When the rain falls on the city and we wonder if it's useful
Et puis surtout si a vaut l’coup, si a vaut l’coup d’vivre sa vie And above all if it's worth it, if it's worth it to live your life
On est all, bras d’ssus bras d’ssous dans l’quartier o y a des vitrines We went arm in arm in the neighborhood where there are windows
Remplies de prsences fminines qu’on veut s’payer quand on est sol Filled with feminine presences that we want to pay when we are solitary
Mais voil que tout au bout d’la rue est arriv un limonaire But then at the end of the street came a lemonade
Avec un vieil air du tonnerre vous faire chialer tant et plus With an old thunder tune make you cry over and over
Si bien que tous les gars d’la bande So all the guys in the band
Se sont perdus, se sont perdus comme Ostende et comme partout Got lost, got lost like Ostend and everywhere
Quand sur la ville tombe la pluie et qu’on s’demande si c’est utile When the rain falls on the city and we wonder if it's useful
Et puis surtout si a vaut l’coup, si a vaut l’coup d’vivre sa vie.And above all if it's worth it, if it's worth living your life.
