La Proue Lyrics in English by Therapie TAXI
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Proue by Therapie TAXI from French to English.
Les étés s'embrouillent, oh, oh
The summers get muddled, oh, oh
Souvenirs, pellicule
Memories, film
Dans ma mémoire je fouille, oh, oh
In my memory I search, oh, oh
Le temps qui recule
Time that recedes
Le soleil brille et le scooter file
The sun shines and the scooter speeds
Et sur le cap c'est la plus jolie des filles
And on the cape it's the prettiest of girls
Nao s'enivre, oh, oh
Nao gets drunk, oh, oh
Elle danse sur le bateau
She dances on the boat
Son nombril au sel, oh, oh
Her navel with salt, oh, oh
La mer qui claque sur le capot
The sea that slaps on the deck
Le soleil brille sur ton corps plein d'eau
The sun shines on your wet body
Mon amour file comme des gouttes sur ta peau
My love slips away like drops on your skin
Le sable s'égraine, oh oh
The sand trickles, oh oh
Entre mes doigts et tes mots
Between my fingers and your words
La houle nous entraîne, oh, oh
The swell carries us away, oh, oh
Le va-et-vient des matelots
The coming and going of the sailors
Le soleil brille et rougit tes joues
The sun shines and reddens your cheeks
Mon amour file comme le vent sur la proue
My love slips away like the wind on the bow
Et l'azure est blanche, oh, oh
And the azure is white, oh, oh
Tes lèvres sucrées dans mon cou
Your sweet lips on my neck
On glisse sur la planche, oh, oh
We slide on the board, oh, oh
Plus rien de sacré entre nous
Nothing sacred left between us
Le soleil brille, éclate tes hanches
The sun shines, makes your hips burst
Mon amour file comme un train sous la Manche
My love speeds like a train under the Channel
Ta mémoire s'enfuit, oh, oh
Your memory escapes, oh, oh
Entre les vagues des échos
Between the waves of echoes
Une dernière envie oh oh
A last desire oh oh
Ton cœur vacille dans le rétro
Your heart flickers in the rearview
Le soleil brille, cavale sur ton dos
The sun shines, gallops on your back
Ton sourire scintille, tu chevauches ma peau
Your smile sparkles, you ride my skin
La plus belle des filles dans son dernier halo
The prettiest of girls in her last halo
La plus belle des filles dans son dernier halo
The prettiest of girls in her last halo

proue — bow (of a boat)
Proue refers to the "bow" or front part of a boat. It's a nautical term that isn't commonly found in everyday French conversation or pop songs, making it quite unique and memorable.
In the song, the lyrics mention "Mon amour file comme le vent sur la proue" (My love glides like the wind on the bow). This imagery evokes a sense of freedom, movement, and perhaps the journey of a relationship, making it an evocative and interesting word choice.
