Intoxicated Man


Je bois
I drink
A trop forte dose
Too strong a dose
Je vois
I see
Des éléphants roses
The pink elephants
Des araignées sur le plastron
The spiders on my shirt front(bib?)
D'mon smoking
In my tuxedo
Des chauves-souris au plaford
Bats on the ceiling
Du living-room
Of my living room

Eh toi
Hey you
Dis-moi quelque chose
Tell me something
Tu es là
You're there
Comme un marbre rose
Like a pink marble
Aussi glacée que le plastron
So Icy is the shirt front
D'mon smoking
Of my tuxedo
Aussi pále que le plafond
As pale as the ceiling
Du living-room
Of my living-room

L'amour
Love
Ne m'dit plus grand'chose
Does much more than my words
Toujours
Always
Ces éléphants roses
These pink elephants
Ces araignées sur le plastron
These spiders on my shirt front
D'mon smoking
Of my tuxedo
Ces chauves-souris au plafond
These bats on the ceiling
Du living-room
Of my living-room

Eh toi
Hey you
Dis-moi quelque chose
Tell me something
Tu es là
You're there
Comme un marbre rose
Like a pink marble
Aussi glacée que le plastron
So Icy is the breastplate
D'mon smoking
Of my tuxedo
Aussi pále que le plafond
As pale as the ceiling
Du living-room
Of my living-room
