Maria Bonita (original)Maria Bonita (translation)
Elle dansait le soir She danced at night
Dans son fourreau noir In its black sheath
La baïara de la Joliette The Baiara of La Joliette
Obscure diva de tous les forçats Obscure diva of all convicts
Qu’ils soient albanais ou bien grecs Whether Albanian or Greek
Déesse des mers sea ​​goddess
Froide des flots verts Cold green waves
Qui battent les falaises grises That beat the gray cliffs
La chanson connue des îlots perdus The famous song of the lost islets
Aux nuits infinies des banquises To the endless nights of the ice floes
Mais c’est des histoires But these are stories
Que raconte aux escales What tells the stopovers
Un marin en cavale A sailor on the run
Qui a changé de nom Who changed name
Mais c’est des chansons But these are songs
De cordage et de toile Of rope and canvas
Mystérieuses et fatales Mysterious and Fatal
Rescapées des typhons Typhoon survivors
Maria Bonita Maria Bonita
Regard minéral Mineral gaze
Aimait jouer des métaphores liked to play metaphors
Dans un portugais qui toujours chantait In a Portuguese that always sang
La magie noire de Salvador The Black Magic of Salvador
Les hommes se taisaient The men were silent
Un silence épais A Thick Silence
Capiteux parfum de la mort Heady scent of death
Le regard perdu près des grands docks nus The gaze lost near the great bare docks
Les rêves et les cités d’or Dreams and Cities of Gold
Mais c’est des histoires But these are stories
Que raconte aux escales What tells the stopovers
Un marin en cavale A sailor on the run
Qui a changé de nom Who changed name
Mais c’est des chansons But these are songs
De cordage et de toile Of rope and canvas
Mystérieuses et fatales Mysterious and Fatal
Rescapées des typhons Typhoon survivors
Maria Bonita Maria Bonita
Dans son fourreau noir In its black sheath
La légende de la Joliette The Legend of La Joliette
Pouvait vous lancer d’une voix cassée Could throw you in a broken voice
Un sort au delà des tempêtes A spell beyond the storms
Parfois son sourire Sometimes his smile
Chargé de désir loaded with desire
Laissait un marin left a sailor
Sur la plage On the beach
Marseille savait Marseille knew
Que ceux qui restaient That those who remained
Un jour prochain One day soon
Feraient naufrage would be shipwrecked
Mais c’est des histoires But these are stories
Que raconte aux escales What tells the stopovers
Un marin en cavale A sailor on the run
Qui a changé de nom Who changed name
Mais c’est des chansons But these are songs
De cordage et de toile Of rope and canvas
Mystérieuses et fatales Mysterious and Fatal
Rescapées des typhons Typhoon survivors
