Pigalle(original) |
C’est un' rue |
C’est un' place |
C’est même tout un quartier |
On en parle, on y passe |
On y vient du monde entier |
Perchée au flanc de Paname |
De loin elle vous sourit |
Car elle reflète l'âme |
La douceur et l’esprit de Paris |
Un p’tit jet d’eau |
Un' station de métro |
Entourée de bistrots |
Pigalle |
Grands magasins |
Ateliers de rapins |
Restaurants pour rupins |
Pigalle |
Là, c’est l’chanteur des carr’fours |
Qui fredonn' les succès du jour |
Ici, l’athlète en maillot |
Qui soulèv' les poids d’cent kilos |
Hôtels meublés |
Discrèt'ment éclairés |
Où l’on n’fait que passer |
Pigalle |
Et vers minuit |
Un refrain qui s’enfuit |
D’une boite de nuit |
Pigalle |
On y croise |
Des visages |
Communs et sensationnels |
On y parle des langages |
Comme à la tour de Babel |
Et quand vient le crépuscule |
C’est le grand marché d’amour |
C’est le coin où déambulent |
Ceux qui prennent la nuit pour le jour |
Girls et mann’quins |
Gitan’s aux yeux malins |
Qui lisent dans les mains |
Pigalle |
Clochards, cam’lots |
Tenanciers de bistrots |
Trafiquants de coco |
Pigalle |
P’tit’s femm’s qui vous sourient |
En vous disant: «Tu viens chéri «Et Prosper qui dans un coin |
Discrèt'ment surveill' son gagn' pain |
Un p’tit jet d’eau |
Un' station de métro |
Entourée de bistrots |
Pigalle |
Ça vit, ça gueul' |
Les gens diront c’qu’ils veul’nt |
Mais au monde y a qu’un seul |
Pigalle |
(translation) |
It's a street |
It's a place |
It's even a whole neighborhood |
Let's talk about it, let's go |
People come from all over the world |
Perched on the side of Paname |
From afar she smiles at you |
Because it reflects the soul |
The sweetness and the spirit of Paris |
A little jet of water |
A' metro station |
Surrounded by bistros |
Pigalle |
Department stores |
Rapine Workshops |
Restaurants for rupins |
Pigalle |
There, it is the singer of the crossroads |
Who hums the hits of the day |
Here, the athlete in the jersey |
Who lifts the weights of a hundred kilos |
Furnished hotels |
Discreetly lit |
Where we only pass |
Pigalle |
And around midnight |
A chorus that runs away |
From a night club |
Pigalle |
We meet there |
Faces |
Common and Sensational |
We talk about languages |
Like at the Tower of Babel |
And when dusk comes |
This is the big love market |
This is the corner where wander |
Those who take the night for the day |
Girls and models |
Gypsy with the evil eyes |
who read hands |
Pigalle |
Tramps, cam'lots |
Bistro owners |
Coconut smugglers |
Pigalle |
Little women who smile at you |
Saying to you, "You come darling" And Prosper who in a corner |
Discreetly watching his earning |
A little jet of water |
A' metro station |
Surrounded by bistros |
Pigalle |
It lives, it screams |
People will say what they want |
But in the world there is only one |
Pigalle |
