Hollywood(original) |
Sa mère dansait dans les bars imitant Jean Harlow |
Son père lançait des poignards au cirque à Buffalo |
Puis un jour on lui a dit «go west"et il a pédalé |
De New-York à Los Angeles sur un vélo volé |
Alors il a usé ses coudes à frotter les comptoirs |
Avec une étoile d’Hollywood qui perdait la mémoire |
Le long de Sunset Boulevard bras dessus, bras dessous |
Ils perdaient leurs derniers dollars dans les machines à sous |
Un jour Benjamin Chancard le cousin ou le frère |
Du type qui joue du cithare à la cour d’Angleterre |
A gagné aux dés le droit d'être son seul amant |
Ils sont allés vivre à trois dans son appartement |
Elle ramenait des voyageurs, des collégiens timides |
Qui pouvaient faire deux dollars l’heure, quelques Polaroid |
Ses deux amants dans la cuisine pour ne pas qu’ils regardent |
En deux mois ils jouaient tout Gershwin sur des verres à moutarde |
Ils ont fait du music hall déguisés en Hindou |
Elle dansait en Baby Doll sur Rapsodie in blue |
Elle a fini sous le capot d’une Dodge ou Cadillac |
Il a ramassé son chapeau et l’autre a pris son sac |
Puis ils ont continué leur vie d’Hindou errant |
Et puis il est retourné vivre chez ses parents |
Sa mère devenue trop laide pour jouer Jean Harlow |
Son père avait tué son aide au cirque à Buffalo. |
(translation) |
His mother danced in bars imitating Jean Harlow |
His father used to throw daggers at the circus in Buffalo |
Then one day he was told "go west" and he cycled |
From New York to Los Angeles on a stolen bike |
So he used his elbows scrubbing the counters |
With a Hollywood star losing his memory |
Along Sunset Boulevard arm in arm |
They were losing their last dollars in slot machines |
One day Benjamin Chancard the cousin or the brother |
Of the guy who plays the zither at the English court |
Won at the dice the right to be her only lover |
They went to live at three in his apartment |
She brought back travelers, shy schoolboys |
Who could make two bucks an hour, some Polaroids |
Her two lovers in the kitchen so they don't look |
In two months they was playing all Gershwin on mustard glasses |
They did music hall disguised as Hindus |
She was dancing as a Baby Doll on Rapsodie in blue |
She ended up under the hood of a Dodge or Cadillac |
He picked up his hat and the other took his bag |
Then they continued their wandering Hindu life |
And then he moved back in with his parents |
His mother became too ugly to play Jean Harlow |
His father had killed his circus aide in Buffalo. |
