California Sunset Lyrics in English by M. Pokora
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song California Sunset by M. Pokora from French to English.
Hollywood Boulevard dans la peau, des dollars dans la peau
Hollywood Boulevard in her skin, dollars in her skin
Deux-trois verres au bar, veut tous les regards sur sa peau
Two-three drinks at the bar, wants all eyes on her
Elle rêve d'une Cadillac
She dreams of a Cadillac
Tout oublier dans les nights-shop
Forget everything in the nightlife
S'noyer dans les cognacs
Drown herself in cognacs
Fuir sa peine en deux-trois-quatre shots
Flee her pain in two-three-four shots
Elle veut toucher le sable chaud, couchée sur le sable chaud
She wants to touch the warm sand, lying on the warm sand
De casting en casting faire la une de tous les journaux
From casting to casting, make the front page of all the newspapers
Elle rêve de Santa Monica, California Sunset

Elle veut vivre son rêve américain, son rêve américain, son rêve américain
She wants to live her American dream, her American dream, her American dream
Elle veut vivre son rêve américain, son rêve américain, son rêve américain
She wants to live her American dream, her American dream, her American dream
Elle veut sa villa dans les Hills, 90210
She wants her villa in the Hills, 90210
Avaler deux-trois pills, que les clients l'applaudissent
Swallow two-three pills, so the clients applaud her
Dans les strips-clubs
In the strip clubs
Une pilule pour rester debout
A pill to stay standing
Le cœur en miettes sous ciel velvet
Heart in pieces under a velvet sky
Plus d'sunset à Malibu
No more sunsets in Malibu
Un ange écorché dans la ville, ébloui par les vitrines
A bruised angel in the city, dazzled by the shop windows
Xanax, Lexomil (verra-t-elle la fin du film?)
Xanax, Lexomil (will she see the end of the film?)

Au matin ça sonne faux
In the morning it rings false
Pas l'bon numéro
Not the right number

Les narines à Mexico
Nostrils in Mexico

Eldorado refers to the mythical city of gold, a place of immense wealth and opportunity. It's a word that evokes dreams and aspirations.
In the context of the song, it's used to represent the protagonist's shattered American dream. The line "Fini l'eldorado" (The eldorado is over) powerfully conveys the end of her illusions and the harsh reality she faces in Hollywood, making it a poignant and memorable choice.
