Lyrics of Hollywood Palermo - Benjamin Biolay, Ambrosia

Hollywood Palermo (original)

My heart walks down these valley streets
Where the freeway meets the ones
Who are meant to walk the valley
Combien de temps?
Combien de nuits à malaxer le vent?
Combien de chance
De noyer les témoins les plus gênants dans l'étang?
De nous deux je suis
De nous deux je suis le seul qui t’aime
Et qui voudrais te dire ma vie
Qui voudrais te séduire aussi
Qui pourrais te mentir je sais
Qui pourrais t’aimer comme jamais
Nul ne t’a aimée
Pas même moi on le sait
My heart walks down these valley streets
Where the freeway meets the ones
Who are meant to walk the valley
Combien de temps?
Combien de mains de l’arrière vers l’avant?
De mouchoirs blancs
De bouteilles à la mer et vers combien d’océans?
De nous deux je suis
De nous deux je suis le seul qui t’aime
Qui te voit danser sous la pluie
Qui te voit trébucher aussi
Sous les ponts
Pont des Arts
Helena Drive au fifth ce soir
Et je sais qu’on le sait, oh
Qu’on ne sait rien
My heart walks down these valley streets
Where the freeway meets the ones
Who are meant to walk the valley streets
I run down these valley streets
Where the temperature defeats
The ones not meant to walk the valley

(translation)

My heart walks down these valley streets
Where the freeway meets the ones
Who are meant to walk the valley
How long?
How many nights kneading the wind?
How lucky
To drown the most troublesome witnesses in the pond?
Of us two I am
Of us two I'm the only one who loves you
And who would tell you my life
Who would like to seduce you too
Who could lie to you I know
Who could love you like never
no one loved you
Not even I know
My heart walks down these valley streets
Where the freeway meets the ones
Who are meant to walk the valley
How long?
How many hands from back to front?
white handkerchiefs
From bottles to sea and to how many oceans?
Of us two I am
Of us two I'm the only one who loves you
Who sees you dancing in the rain
Who sees you stumble too
under the bridges
Pont des Arts
Helena Drive at the fifth tonight
And I know we know, oh
That we know nothing
My heart walks down these valley streets
Where the freeway meets the ones
Who are meant to walk the valley streets
I run down these valley streets
Where the temperature defeats
The ones not meant to walk the valley
