Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Gin Tonic by Françoise Hardy from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Deux gin tonics, merci beaucoup
Two gin and tonics, thank you very much
Quelle heure est-il? Ça va, et vous?
What time is it? I'm fine and you?
Air de blues sur piano triste
Blues tune on sad piano
Je n'entends pas ce que vous dites
I can't hear what you're saying
Allers-retours cosmopolites
Cosmopolitan round trips
Dans ce bar de grand hôtel
In this big hotel bar
Ray-bans foncées qui vous évitent
Dark Ray-Bans That Avoid You
Et nos discours superficiels
And our superficial speeches
Se dire une fois 'je t'aime'
Say 'I love you' once
Même si les mots sonnent un peu faux
Even if the words sound a little wrong
Les dire quand même
Say them anyway
Lui dire une fois 'je t'aime'
Tell him once 'I love you'
Boire un peu trop, rêver tout haut
Drink a little too much, dream out loud
Plus rien qui nous retienne
Nothing holding us back
Mais je perds le fil, que disiez-vous?
But I'm losing track, what were you saying?
À qui pense-t-il? Où sommes-nous?
Who is he thinking of? Where are we?
Deux gin tonics
Two gin and tonics
