Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Aéroplanes by Serge Gainsbourg from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Marilou se fait des aéroplanes
Marilou makes airplanes
En repliant des dépliants d'agences de voyages
By folding travel agency leaflets
Où l'on peut voir des pin-up
Where you can see pin-ups
À gros seins new-look
Busty new look
Sur fond d'azur de Louisiane
Against a backdrop of Louisiana azure
Elle est marrante
She is funny
C'est une fan du cap'tain Cook
She's a Captain Cook fan
Elle a sur lui tout un press-book
She has a whole press book with her
Aussi sur Tarzan
Also on Tarzan
Dont elle est folle comme Jane
About which she is crazy like Jane
Je la vois assez l'enlacer
I see her hugging him enough
Et lui de liane en liane
And he goes from liana to liana
Pousser son cri en volapük
Scream in volapük
Du coté de Pamanbuk
On the side of Pamanbuk
Et moi Chita, le singe
And me Chita, the monkey
Qui leur cavale au cul dans la savane
Who runs at their ass in the savannah
Pauvre idiote, tu rêves, tu planes
Poor idiot, you dream, you get high
Me traite de fauché de plouc
Calls me a broke redneck
De minable d'abominable bouc
From pathetic to abominable goat
Qu'importe injures un jour
What does it matter about insults one day
Se dissiperont comme volute Gitane
Will dissipate like Gypsy volute
