La Recette De L'amour Fou Lyrics in English Serge Gainsbourg
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Recette De L'amour Fou by Serge Gainsbourg from French to English.
In a boudoir, bring in a tender heart
On the couch, let him sit and relax
Pour a single tear of Port
And then sit at the piano
Play Chopin
With disdain!
Pluck your chords
And if he falls asleep
Right then, throw him out
The second night, sauté that tender heart
Let it simmer a good forty-five minutes while it waits for you
And if he still hasn't left
Be sure, that means he's cooked
Without giving yourself away
Let it simmer
Make him wait some more
And if he falls asleep
Right then, throw him out
The next day, it's up to you to be tender
Dim all the lights and without delay
Play the farce of great love
Say 'never', say 'always'
And consummate
On the couch
But after the rapture
if he falls asleep
Right then, throw him out!
