Initials B.B. Lyrics in English Serge Gainsbourg
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Initials B.B. by Serge Gainsbourg from French to English.
Une nuit, que j'étais
One night, as I was
À me morfondre
Brooding
Dans quelque pub anglais
In some English pub
Du cœur de Londres
In the heart of London
Parcourant L'Amour monstre de Pauwels
Leafing through 'Monstrous Love' by Pauwels
Me vint une vision
A vision came to me
Dans l'eau de Seltz
In the seltzer water
The initials, the initials
The initials, the initials
The initials B.B
The initials B.B
The initials, the initials
The initials, the initials
The initials B.B
The initials B.B
Tandis que des médailles
While medals
D'impérator
Of an emperor
Font briller à sa taille
Make gleam on her waist
Le bronze et l'or
The bronze and gold
Le platine lui grave
Platinum engraves
D'un cercle froid
With a cold circle
La marque des esclaves
The brand of slaves
À chaque doigt
On each finger
The initials, the initials
The initials, the initials
The initials B.B
The initials B.B
The initials, the initials
The initials, the initials
The initials B.B
The initials B.B
Jusques en haut des cuisses
All the way up her thighs
Elle est bottée
She's in boots
Et c'est comme un calice
And it's like a chalice
À sa beauté
To her beauty
Elle ne porte rien
She wears nothing
D'autre qu'un peu
Other than a bit
D'essence de Guerlain
Of Guerlain essence
Dans les cheveux
In her hair
The initials, the initials
The initials, the initials
The initials B.B
The initials B.B
The initials, the initials
The initials, the initials
The initials B.B
The initials B.B
À chaque mouvement
With every movement
On entendait
You could hear
Les clochettes d'argent
The little silver bells
De ses poignets
On her wrists
Agitant ses grelots
Shaking her jingle bells
Elle avança
She came forward
Et prononça ce mot
And uttered this word
'Almería'
'Almería'
The initials, the initials
The initials, the initials
The initials B.B
The initials B.B
The initials, the initials
The initials, the initials
The initials B.B
The initials B.B
The initials, the initials
The initials, the initials
The initials B.B
The initials B.B
The initials, the initials
The initials, the initials
The initials B.B
The initials B.B
