Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lola rastaquouère by Serge Gainsbourg from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Comment oses-tu me parler d'amour toi hein
How dare you tell me about love yourself eh
Toi qui n'as pas connu lola rastaquouère
You who did not know lola rastquouère
Je lui faisais le plein comme au latécoère
I was filling him up like a laery
Qui décolle en vibrant vers les cieux africains
Taking off vibrating to the African skies
Elle avait de ces yeux un vrai chat abyssin
She had with these eyes a real abyssin cat
Et ses seins deux sphères
And her breasts two spheres
Entre lesquelles j'abandonnais deux mois de salaire
Between whom I gave up two months' salary
Pour y rouler mon pauvre joint
To roll my poor joint
Quand dans son sexe cyclopéen
When in his cyclopean sex
J'enfonçais mon pieu tel l'ulysse d'homère
I pushed my stake like Homer's ulysses
Je l'avais raide plutôt amère
I had stiff rather bitter
C'est moi grands dieux qui n'y voyais plus rien
I was the great gods who couldn't see anything
Dans la moiteur torride de sa croupe d'airain
In the torrid sweat of his brass rump
On pouvait voir éclore des renoncules par-derrière
You could see the blossoming of buttercups from behind
Et par devant un conifère
And in front of a conifer
Me rappelait un air jamaïcain
Reminded me of a Jamaican air
