Jungle d'azur, de laine
Azure jungle, wool
Sans rochers pousse ton lichen
Without rocks your lichen grows
Que cache ton immensité?
What does your immensity hide?
Bêtes de tôle
Sheet metal beasts
Mais lesquelles?
But which ones?
Qui crient quand siffle le nickel
Who scream when the nickel whistles
N'ont plus de densité
No longer have density
Boeing, Boeing!
Boeing, Boeing!
Et tes mouvements lents sont de majesté
And your slow movements are majestic
Est-ce la faute de tes passagers indigestes
Is it the fault of your indigestible passengers
Si tu penches?
If you lean?
Jungle embuée d'azur
Azure fogged jungle
Aux arbres pour passer l'ennui
To the trees to pass the boredom
Tant de têtes tes nuées eurent
So many heads your clouds had
Ces fantômes peuplent ta cité
These ghosts populate your city
Blanc jardin suspendu aux heures
White garden hanging on the hours
Du jour Ta forêt de vapeur
Today Your steam forest
Notre monstre électricité
Our electricity monster
Boeing, Boeing!
Boeing, Boeing!
Et tes mouvements lents sont de majesté
And your slow movements are majestic
Est-ce la faute de tes passagers indigestes
Is it the fault of your indigestible passengers
Si tu penches?
If you lean?
Boeing, Boeing!
Boeing, Boeing!
Et tes mouvements lents sont de majesté
And your slow movements are majestic
Est-ce la faute de tes passagers indigestes
Is it the fault of your indigestible passengers
Boeing, Boeing!
Boeing, Boeing!
À gauche, à l'Est
To the left, to the east
Enfin comme un vieil éléphant
Finally like an old elephant
