lyrics

Tu crois que je suis une aventurière
Que je traverse tous les déserts
Et que j’allume tous les réverbères
De chaque capitale orientale

Tu crois que je vis sans sommeil
Que je vide toutes les bouteilles
Et que je danse avec tous les marins
De chaque bateau à quai

Tu crois que je prend la vie au lasso
Que je donne tout ce que j’ai de beau
Et que je remplis des tonnes de seaux
De cadeaux toujours bienvenus

Tu crois que je ne suis jamais terre à terre
Que je ne suis jamais par terre
Et que je valse valse valse avec mes airs
De reine grâcieuse comme une étoile.

Tu as peut être raison
Mais ça m’étonnerait

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
The Lasso Life

You think that I’m an adventurer
That I cross all the deserts
And that I light all the lamps
In each oriental capital…

You think that I live without sleep
That I empty every bottle
And dance with all the sailors
In each boat on the waters edge…

You think that I live life with a lasso,
That I give the best of myself
That I give tons
Of always welcome gifts…

You think I’m never grounded
That I’m never down to earth
And that I’m always waltzing, waltzing, waltzing
With my little songs,
Of a gracious queen of stars…

Maybe you’re right
But I doubt it
