San Clemente Lyrics in English Boulevard des Airs
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song San Clemente by Boulevard des Airs from French to English.
J'voulais placer le mot ruelle
I wanted to slip in the word alley
J'voulais vous parler un peu d'elle
I wanted to talk to you about her a bit
J'voulais écrire, sur un bout d'table
I wanted to write, on a bit of table
Dans un salon d'la rue des arts
In a lounge on Art Street
Et déchirer ce bout de nappe
And tear up that bit of tablecloth
Sous le regard de bande appart
Under the gaze of a band apart
Et en finir, avec l'ambition
And be done with ambition
Cracher, bourré, mes convictions
Spit out, drunk, my convictions
Et j'voulais vous parler des femmes
And I wanted to talk to you about women
Et des bouts d'art, de leur parfum
And bits of art, their perfume
De 68, que l'on condamne
About '68, which they condemn
Du mois d'octobre 61

Et j'voulais vous parler des femmes

Et des bouts d'art, de leur parfum

Mais on r'fait pas les Amériques

En écrivant ce genre de choses

Fallait choisir, la chose publique

Y'a peu de public à la prose
There's little audience for prose
Et entre nous, mon choix est fait
And between us, my choice is made
Et entre nous, mon choix est fait
And between us, my choice is made
Et j'annonce Je ne choisirai
And I declare I won't choose
Entre la bannière et la rose

Qui s'produira pourtant jamais
