Below, I translated the lyrics of the song L'eau A La Bouche by Serge Gainsbourg from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Écoute ma voix, écoute ma prière
Hear my voice, hear my prayer
Écoute mon cœur qui bat, laisse-toi faire
Listen to my beating heart, let yourself be
Je t'en prie ne sois pas farouche
Please don't be shy
Quand me vient l'eau à la bouche
When my mouth waters
Je te veux confiante, je te sens captive
I want you confident, I feel you captive
Je te veux docile, je te sens craintive
I want you docile, I feel you fearful
Je t'en prie, ne sois pas farouche
Please don't be shy
Quand me vient l'eau à la bouche
When my mouth waters
Laisse-toi au gré du courant
Let yourself go with the flow
Porter dans le lit du torrent
Carry in the bed of the torrent
Et dans le mien
And in mine
Si tu veux bien
If you agree
Quittons la rive
Let's leave the shore
Partons à la dérive
Let's drift away
Je te prendrais doucement et sans contrainte
I will take you gently and without constraint
De quoi as-tu peur allons n'aie nulle crainte
What are you afraid of? Come on, don't be afraid.
Je t'en prie, ne sois pas farouche
Please don't be shy
Quand me vient l'eau à la bouche
When my mouth waters
Cette nuit près de moi tu viendras t'étendre
This night near me you will come and lie down
Oui je serai calme je saurai t'attendre
Yes I will be calm I will know how to wait for you
Et pour que tu ne t'effarouches
And so that you don't get scared
Vois, je ne prends que ta bouche
See, I only take your mouth
