Translation of the song lyrics L'Oeil magique - Lynda Lemay

L'Oeil magique (original)

Y’en a qui s’ouvrent et qui s’balancent
Y’en a qui grincent, y’en a qui dansent
Y’en a qui claquent d’un seul coup de pied l o je pense
Lorsque tu sonnes et qu’tu t’annonces
Y’en a qui donnent jamais d’rponse
Y’en a des fragiles qui dcrochent et qui s’dfoncent
Et puis y’en a des dures de dures (de dures)
Tu cognes dedans comme dans un mur
Elles sont belles et grandes et mtalliques
Elles te regardent attendre d’un oeil magique
Y’en a des vieilles et des coinces
Y’en a des petites toutes bien huiles
Y’en a sur lesquelles t’as toujours l’oreille colle
Y’en a qui s’verrouillent pour toujours
Y’en a qu’on force quand on a l’tour
Y’en a qu’on prend seulement que comme sortie de secours
Y’en a qu’on touche et puis qui craquent
Y’en a qu’on lche, y’en a qu’on plaque
Y’en a des transparentes qui donnent de bons spectacles
Y’en a qui t’prennent pour un voleur
Un jhovah, un colporteur
Y’en a qui s’laissent toujours avoir par la douceur
Y’en a souvent qui t’rendent jaloux
Dans les petits htels 30 sous
Y’en a qui marchent avec n’importe quel passe-partout
Des pas barres, des coulissantes
Des rserves aux employs
Des compltement absentes et…
.Et des barricades!
Et puis y’en a une toute modeste
Que t’as pas l’air de remarquer
Au 41, 1re Avenue Ouest
Il suffirait qu’tu tournes… sa jolie poigne

L'Oeil magique (translation)

Some open and sway
Some creak, some dance
There are some who smack with a single kick where I think
When you ring and announce yourself
There are some who never give an answer
There are fragile ones who drop out and get high
And then there are some tough ones (hard ones)
You bump into it like a wall
They're nice and big and metallic
They watch you waiting with a magical eye
There are old and stuck ones
There are small ones all very well oiled
There are some that you always have your ear glued to
There are those who lock themselves forever
There are some that we force when we have the turn
Some we only take as an emergency exit
Some people touch and then crack
There are some that we drop, there are that we plate
There are transparent ones that give good shows
Some take you for a thief
A jhovah, a peddler
There are those who always let themselves be taken in by the sweetness
There are often those who make you jealous
In the small hotels 30 cents
There are those who work with any master key
Bar steps, sliding steps
Reservations to employees
Completely absent and...
.And barricades!
And then there's a very modest one
What you don't seem to notice
At 41 1st Avenue West
It would be enough for you to turn... his pretty grip
