Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La fille au rasoir by Serge Gainsbourg from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Le rasoir électrique
The electric razor
Couvrait la chanson de Clara
Covered Clara's song
La jolie musique
The pretty music
Qui sortait de cet engin-là
Who came out of this machine
C'était sa faiblesse
It was his weakness
Elle aimait ses caresses
She loved his caresses
Le rasoir électrique
The electric razor
Frôlait la jambe de Clara
Brushed against Clara's leg
Ce bruit métallique
This metallic noise
Avait l'don de me mettre hors de moi
Had the gift of making me angry
Ce n'était pas drôle
It wasn't funny
De garder mon self-control
To keep my self-control
Le rasoir électrique
The electric razor
Me rendait dingue mais Clara
Made me crazy but Clara
N'prenait au tragique
Don't take the tragedy
Ni mes angoisses ni mes a-
Neither my anxieties nor my a-
Mours un jour quand même
Die one day anyway
Je lui ai dit 'je t'aime'
I told him 'I love you'
Sous l'rasoir électrique
Under the electric shaver
Tu n'as rien entendu Clara
You didn't hear anything Clara
Tu n'as rien entendu Clara
You didn't hear anything Clara
Tu n'as rien entendu Clara
You didn't hear anything Clara
Tu n'as rien entendu Clara
You didn't hear anything Clara
