Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Du jazz dans le ravin by Serge Gainsbourg from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Écoute, c'est toi qui conduis ou moi
Look, it's you who drives or me
C'est moi, bon, alors tais-toi
It's me, okay, so shut up
Y a du whisky dans la boîte à gants
There's whiskey in the glove compartment
Et des américaines, t'as qu'à taper dedans
And American women, you just have to type in it
Écoute, écoute un peu ça, poupée
Listen, listen to this, doll
T'entends mon air préféré
You hear my favorite tune
Mets-moi la radio un peu plus fort
Put the radio on me a little harder
Et n'aie pas peur, j'vais pas aller dans le décor
And don't be afraid, I'm not going to go into the background
Soudain, juste avant monte-carlo
Suddenly, just before the climb-carlo
C'est ça, c'est ça, le manque de pot
That's right, that's right, the lack of pot
V'là que la jaguar fait une embardée
That's when the jaguar swerves
Et droit devant la v'là qui pique dans le fossé
And straight in front of the v'there stinging in the ditch
Et pendant qu'tous deux agonisaient
And while both were agonizing
La radio, la radio a continué d'y gueuler
The radio, the radio continued to shout at it
On les ramassera
We'll pick them up
À la petite cuillère
With a spoon
