I'm translating one Serge Gainsbourg song every day or so, in a misguided attempt to learn to read and write in french. Feel free to help me fix my translations or get me hints about underlying meanings.

Bubble gum
Translation after the jump...
Aimer toujours le même homme Always love the same man C'est des histoires à la gomme These are the stories of gum L'amour mon vieux c'est tout comme My old love is just like Du bubble bubble gum Bubble bubble gum
Tu bâilles et tu t'étires comme You're yawning and you stretch yourself like Tu éclates de rire comme You burst out laughing like Tu es rose pâle comme You are light pink like Mon bubble bubble gum My bubble bubble gum
Entre mes bras tu étais comme You were in my arms like Tu étais tendre et sucré You were tender and sweet like Tu as perdu tu saveur comme You lost your flavor like Mon bubble bubble gum My bubble bubble gum
Si je pouvais t'balancer comme If I could throw you away like Mais tu me colles aux semelles comme But you stick to my soles like Allez va reviens welcome You go I'll welcome back Mon bubble bubble gum My bubble bubble gum
Lyrics by Serge Gainsbourg, Translation by Greg Smith
