Night Shop Lyrics in English by Benjamin Biolay
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Night Shop by Benjamin Biolay from French to English.
Moi, la nuit, je repense au soleil
At night, I think back to the sun
Et je rêve de cures de sommeil
And I dream of sleep cures
Tous ces charmes me semblent trop pareils, vus de là-haut
All these charms seem too similar to me, seen from up high
Oui, la nuit, je passe les murailles
Yes, at night, I cross the walls
Et j'entends le vent des Cornouailles
And I hear the Cornish wind
Et pourtant je la suis, vaille que vaille
And yet I follow her, come what may
L'aurais-je dans la peau?
Is she under my skin?
Car, la nuit, je mange
For, at night, I eat
Une fille aux cheveux oranges
A girl with orange hair
Qui me dit t'es beau
Who tells me you're handsome
Moi, moi, moi, moi je la crois pas trop
Me, me, me, me, I don't really believe her
Visage pâle et nom d'animal
Pale face and an animal's name
Moi, la nuit, je repense au soleil
At night, I think back to the sun
Et je vide toutes les bouteilles
And I empty all the bottles
Je détruis les chambres des hôtels
I destroy the hotel rooms
Là-haut, là-haut
Up there, up there
Oui, la nuit, je longe les falaises
Yes, at night, I walk along the cliffs
Je voyage au gré de mes malaises
I travel at the whim of my unease
Et je nage dans un champ de fraises
And I swim in a strawberry field
L'aurais-je dans la peau?
Is she under my skin?
Car, la nuit, je mange
For, at night, I eat
Une fille aux cheveux oranges
A girl with orange hair
Qui me dit T'es beau
Who tells me You're handsome
Moi, moi, moi, moi je la crois pas trop
Me, me, me, me, I don't really believe her
Visage pâle et nom d'animal
Pale face and an animal's name
Moi, la nuit, je repense au soleil
At night, I think back to the sun
Comme un disque, un disque qui se raye
Like a record, a record that scratches
Je m'enfuis par monts, vaux et merveilles
I flee over hills, valleys, and wonders
Là-haut, là-haut
Up there, up there
Puisque tournent sa langue et la mienne
Since her tongue and mine are turning
Et que tournent ma langue et la sienne
And that my tongue and hers are turning
Chaque jour d'une longue, d'une longue semaine
Every day of a long, of a long week
L'aurais-je dans la peau?
Is she under my skin?
Car, la nuit, je mange
For, at night, I eat
Une fille aux cheveux oranges
A girl with orange hair
Qui me dit t'es beau
Who tells me you're handsome
Moi, moi, moi, moi je la crois pas trop
Me, me, me, me, I don't really believe her
Visage pâle et nom d'animal
Pale face and an animal's name
Oui, la nuit, je mange
Yes, at night, I eat
Une fille aux cheveux oranges
A girl with orange hair
Qui me dit t'es beau
Who tells me you're handsome
Moi, moi, moi, moi je la crois pas trop
Me, me, me, me, I don't really believe her

Cornouailles — Cornwall
Cornouailles is the French name for Cornwall, a county in the southwest of England known for its rugged coastline and Celtic heritage. It's an interesting and somewhat unexpected geographical reference in a French song.
In the lyrics, the singer mentions hearing "le vent des Cornouailles" (the wind of Cornwall), which evokes a sense of travel, mystery, and perhaps a longing for distant, wild places. This specific detail makes the word stand out and adds a unique flavor to the song's imagery.
