La Parisienne Lyrics in English Christophe Maé
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Parisienne by Christophe Maé from French to English.
Paris, it's the city of lovers
She's been living in Paris for less than 3 months
But she's already got it all, the how-to manual
She uses tons of words I don't know
Rides a Vespa
Her friends have weird first names, Béné, Alix, FX, Elise-Ange
Yeah, it's not their names, no
That bother me, nor their bangs
She keeps telling me we gotta catch up
And brunch together one of these days
And check out a show at 104, Larry Clark
Why not
But not tomorrow
‘Cause madam's overbooked, always glued to her MacBook and
And when she tells me we can bump into each other
On Facebook, that's the last straw
She lives in Paris
She's got white Converse
I don't understand what she says anymore
She lives in Paris, hope nothing changes
She lives in Paris
She's got white Converse
I don't understand what she says anymore
She lives in Paris, hope nothing changes
She lives in Paris, it's not like I’m judging
It's so different past the périphérique
It's not the same music, the same outfits
Her mom, her buddies and their vodka tonics
I see her less often because madam, yeah
Heads to the sea for Easter
Her friends have big houses, Saint-Briac
Don't know it
Me, my Apache mug and my accent
I know, it makes her right-thinking friends smile
And yet, I often wait for her in the wind
I'd like her to be a bit like before again
But she and her Vélib are organic tomatoes and her iPhone
Her Boston terrier
Me, the rain pounds me
While I struggle for hours at the intercom
But nobody's there
She lives in Paris
She's got white Converse
I don't understand what she says anymore
She lives in Paris, hope nothing changes
She lives in Paris
She's got white Converse
I don't understand what she says anymore
She lives in Paris, hope nothing changes
Madam is chic!
Cocktails, sarongs, banks of the Seine
Madam complicates life by being a bohemian
Madam is chic!
American Apparel, H&M
She's a hippie chic!
But where's the lady I love
She lives in Paris
She's got white Converse
I don't get anything she says
She lives in Paris, hope nothing changes
She lives in Paris
She's got white Converse
I don't understand what she says anymore
She lives in Paris, hope nothing changes
She lives in Paris
I think she forgets me
She's got new friends, you know
New clothes
And me, I hang out along the Seine
But where's the lady I love
I don't understand what she says anymore
She lives in Paris, hope nothing changes
