Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Joey I by Noir Désir from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Joey est affalé, tournant les mouches
Joey's slumped, turning the flies
Le souffle du soir aime comme il tord la bouche
The evening breath likes as it twists the mouth
Il y a trois déserts à traverser encore
There are three deserts to cross yet
Et une pendaison à réussir d'abord
And a hanging to succeed first
Quelle étrange pensée à joey
What a strange joey thought
Tu dormais joey ou étais-tu éveillé
You were sleeping joey or were you awake
Penses-tu quitter la vie sans t'en aller
Do you think you're going to leave life without going away?
Si ton corps se balance, verras-tu plus loin
If your body swings, will you see further
Où est-ce de la transe, dont tu as besoin
Where's the trance you need
Quelle étrange pensée a joey
What a strange thought has joey
Assassiner son frère
Murdering his brother
Envahir l'asie
Invading Asia
Sauver la race humaine
Saving the human race
Servir un mezcal
Serve a mezcal
Oublier son nom joey
Forget his name joey
Joey a traversé tous les souterrains
Joey went through all the underground
Les nymphes et la folie glissées sous ses reins
Nymphs and madness slipped under his kidneys
Va-t'il revenir là dans le corps d'un chat
Will it come back there in the body of a cat
Serait-ce pour ce soir ou serait-ce pour une autre
Could it be for tonight or would it be for another
Serait-ce pour ce soir ou serait-ce pour une autre fois
Could it be for tonight or would it be for another time
