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