Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Manila Hotel by Bernard Lavilliers from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Je suis au Manila hôtel
I am at Manila hotel
Qui sonne, c'est peut-être celle
Who's ringing, maybe it's the one
Que j'attends seul dans la rue poubelle?
That I wait alone in the garbage street?
Je suis au Manila hôtel
I am at Manila hotel
Je suis seul, ma musique court
I'm alone, my music is running
Au milieu des gens qui m'entourent
Among the people around me
Boire seul au Manila hôtel
Drink alone at Manila hotel
Ma gueule en face des poubelles
My mouth in front of the trash cans
les parfums lourds des rues de Manille
the heavy perfumes of the streets of Manila
La misère et le rire des filles
Girls' misery and laughter
Je suis au Manila hôtel
I am at Manila hotel
Qui sonne, c'est peut être elle
Who's ringing, maybe it's her
Que j'attends seul dans la rue poubelle?
That I wait alone in the garbage street?
Je suis au Manila hôtel
I am at Manila hotel
Je suis seul, ma musique court
I'm alone, my music is running
Au milieu des gens qui m'entourent
Among the people around me
Qui m'entourent
who surround me
