Paris Canaille(original) |
| Paris j’ai bu la voix grise, le long des rues, tu vocalises |
| Y’a pas d’espoir dans tes haillons, seul’ment l’trottoir mais c’est si bon |
| Tes vagabonds te font des scènes, mais sous tes ponts, coule la Seine |
| Pour la romance illusion, y’a d’l’affluence mais c’est si bon |
| Mômes égarées dans les faubourgs, prairie pavée où pousse l’amour |
| Ça pousse encore la maison, on a eu tort mais c’est si bon |
| Regards perdus dans le ruisseau où va la rue, comme un bateau |
| Ça tangue un peu dans l’entrepont, c’est laborieux mais c’est si bon |
| Paris je prends au coeur de pierre, un compte courant des belles manières |
| Un coup d’chapeau l’occasion, il faut c’qui faut mais c’est si bon |
| Des sociétés très anonymes, un député que l’on estime |
| Un p’tit mann’quin en confection, c’est pas l’baisemain mais c’est si bon |
| Passe la monnaie, v’l du clinquant, un coup d’rabais and gentleman |
| Un carnet d’chèque sans provision, faut faire avec mais c’est si bon |
| Un p’tit faubourg Saint-Honoré, trois petits fours et je m’en vais |
| Surprise party, surprise restons, on est surpris mais c’est si bon |
| (translation) |
| Paris I drank the gray voice, along the streets, you vocalize |
| There's no hope in your rags, only the sidewalk but it's so good |
| Your vagabonds make scenes for you, but under your bridges flows the Seine |
| For the illusion romance, it's busy but it's so good |
| Kids lost in the suburbs, paved meadow where love grows |
| It's still pushing the house, we were wrong but it's so good |
| Looks lost in the stream where the street goes, like a boat |
| It rocks a little in the steerage, it's laborious but it's so good |
| Paris I take to the heart of stone, a running account of fine manners |
| A tip of the hat the occasion, it takes what it takes but it's so good |
| Very anonymous companies, a deputy who is esteemed |
| A little model in confection, it's not the kiss of the hand but it's so good |
| Pass the change, see some tinsel, a discount and gentleman |
| A bad check book, you have to deal with it but it's so good |
| A little Faubourg Saint-Honoré, three petit fours and I'm off |
| Surprise party, surprise let's stay, we're surprised but it's so good |
