lyrics

Toutes les belles inconnues
sur la grande avenue
d’en haut vous êtes toutes
des vagues brisant et curieuses

L’inconnue de la journée
a des yeux excités
Elle marche pied à pied
personne ne peut la toucher

Toutes les belles inconnues
sur la grande avenue
et aussi la petite rue
Avez-vous rendez-vous?

L’inconnue de la semaine
Cheveux noir comme l’ebene
Elle a l’air d’une reine
qui attend la guerre prochaine

Toutes les belles inconnues
sur la grande avenue
d’en haut vous êtes tous
des vagues deferlantes et curieuses

L’inconnue de le saison
Qui a toujour dit “non”
Est partie de sa maison
Comme une bulle de savon

Toutes les belles inconnues
sur la grande avenue
et aussi la petite rue
Vous as-t’on déja vue?

a L’inconnue de l’année
il faut dire “s’il vous plaît”
et sutout ne plus parler
seulement espérer

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
All the Beautiful Strangers

All the beautiful strangers
On the grand avenues
From above you all look
like curious, breaking waves

The stranger of the day
Has excited eyes
She puts one foot in front of the other
Nobody can touch her

All the beautiful strangers
On the grand avenues
And also on the little street
Do you have a rendez-vous?

The stranger of the week
Has black hair like ebony
And the air of a queen,
Waiting for the next war

All the beautiful strangers
On the grand avenues
From above you are all
Curious, breaking waves

The stranger of the season
Who always said “No”
Has left her house
Like a soap bubble

All the beautiful strangers
On the grand avenues
And also the little street
Have we seen you before?

To the stranger of the year
We must say “Please”
And then say nothing more,
Only hope
