These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Tu habites rue de la Madone
You live in rue de la Madone
Une maison qui se déhanche
A swaying house
Une maison qui se tire-bouchonne
A corkscrew house
Et qui pleure à grosses planches
And who cries loudly
L'escalier colimaçonne
The spiral staircase
C'est pas grand, non
It's not big, no
Mais y a d'la place
But there is room
Tu habites rue de la Madone
You live in rue de la Madone
Et moi je viens pour le gaz
And I come for the gas
Tu as un boudoir plein de bouddhas
You have a boudoir full of buddhas
Les bougies dansent dans leurs bougeoirs
The candles are dancing in their candlesticks
Ça sent bon, c'est sans histoire
It smells good, it's uneventful
Ça ruisselle de taffetas
It drips with taffeta
C'est rempli de photos d'toi
It's filled with photos of you
Qui sommeillent devant la glace
Who sleep in front of the mirror
Tu as un boudoir plein d'bouddhas
You have a boudoir full of Buddhas
Et moi et moi et moi
And me and me and me
Je viens pour le gaz
I come for the gas
Tu as un vrai divan de roi
You have a real couch like a king
Un vrai divan de diva
A real diva couch
Du porto qu'tu rapportas
Of the port that you brought back
De la Porte des Lilas
From the Lilac Gate
T'as un p'tit chien et un grand chat
You have a little dog and a big cat
Un phono qui joue du jazz
A phono that plays jazz
Tu as un vrai divan de roi
You have a real couch like a king
Et moi et moi et moi
And me and me and me
Je viens pour le gaz
I come for the gas
Tu as des seins comme des soleils
You have breasts like suns
Comme des fruits, comme des reposoirs
Like fruits, like repositories
Tu as des seins comme des miroirs
You have breasts like mirrors
Comme des fruits, comme du miel
Like fruit, like honey
Tu les recouvres, tout devient noir
You cover them up, everything turns black
Tu les découvres et je deviens Pégase
You discover them and I become Pegasus
Tu as des seins comme des trottoirs
You have breasts like sidewalks
Et moi et moi et moi
And me and me and me
Je viens pour le gaz
I come for the gas
Et puis chez toi y a l'plombier
And then at home there is the plumber
Et y l'bedeau et y a l'facteur
And there's the beadle and there's the postman
Le docteur qui fait le café
The doctor who makes the coffee
Le notaire qui sert les liqueurs
The notary who serves the liqueurs
Y a la moitié d'un artilleur
There's half a gunner
Y a un poète de Carpentras
There is a poet from Carpentras
Il y a quelques flics
There are a few cops
Et puis la main de ma sœur
And then my sister's hand
Et tout ça est là pour le gaz
And it's all there for the gas
Allez, allez-y donc tous, rue de la Madone
Come on, come on everyone, rue de la Madone
C'est pas grand, non
It's not big, no
Mais y a d'la place
But there is room
Allez, allez-y donc tous, rue de la Madone
Come on, come on everyone, rue de la Madone
Et dites bien que c'est pour le gaz
And tell me it's for the gas
