Les Omnibus Lyrics in English by Brigitte Bardot
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Les Omnibus by Brigitte Bardot from French to English.
LES OMNIBUS
The local trains
Y'a les dar-ling
There are the darlings
Des homm's slee-ping
Of the men in sleeping cars
Y'a les maî-tress's
There are the mistresses
Des homm's ex-press
Of the men on express trains
Il y'a les femm's
There are the women
Des homm's pull-man
Of the men in Pullman cars
Cell's qui-aim'nt la com-pa-gnie
Those who like the company
Des wa-gons lits
Of the sleeper cars
Quant à moi ce que j'aim'-le plus
As for me, what I like most
C'est de loin tous les om-ni-bus
Is the local trains, by far
J'ai-me les ar-rêts im-pré-vus
I like unexpected stops
Dans tous les pe-tits coins Per-dus
In all the little out-of-the-way places
J'ai-me les om-ni-bus
I like the local trains
Oui je les ai-me tant
Yeah I love them so much
Et plus
And more
On s'ar-rête à tout's les sta-tions
We stop at every station
Dans tous les pe-tits trous sans nom
In all the little no-name places
Bye bye dar-ling
Bye bye darling
Des homm's slee-ping
Of the men in sleeping cars
A-dieu maî-tress's
Farewell, mistresses
Des homm's ex-press
Of the men on express trains
Cia-o les femm's
Ciao, girls
Des homm's pull-man
Of the men in Pullman cars
J'vous laisse en com-pa-gnie
I'll leave you with company
Des wa-gons lits
Of the sleeper cars
Quand à moi ce que j'aim'-le plus
As for me, what I like most
C'est de loin tous les om-ni-bus
Is the local trains, by far
J'ai-me m'al-lon-ger sur le dos
I like to lie down on my back
Au fond d'un wa-gon à bes-tiaux
In the back of a cattle car
J'ai-me les om-ni-bus
I like the local trains
Non non je n'en di-rai
No no, I won't say
Pas plus
Any more
A-vant qu'ça n'de-vienne in dé-cent
Before it gets indecent
'Ter-mi-nus tout le mond' des-cend'
"End of the line, everybody off."
