La ville s'embouteille
The city is giving up
Et moi, j'prends d'la bouteille
And I get the bottle
En attendant ton appel
While waiting for your call
Je freine, je cale et t'envoie des 'call me'
I brake, I hold and send you 'call me'
Et puis, j'te colle ces prénoms insensés
And then, I stick these insane first names
Qu'allaient si bien aux interdits sensés
That was so well to the sensible prohibitions
Qui nous faisaient tant de bien, tant de bien
Who did so much good to us, so much good
Une fois au moins dans sa vie
Once at least in his life
De préférence la nuit
Preferably at night
Sous la pluie, écouter Chet Baker
In the rain, listen to Chet Baker
Au fond d'une Studebaker
At the bottom of a Studebaker
Signée Raymond Loewy
Signed Raymond Loewy
Écouter Chet Baker, pleurer sur tout ce qui s'enfuit
Listen to Chet Baker, cry about everything that fled
Se dire que c'est fini
Tell yourself that it's over
Jusqu'à tout à l'heure
Up to the time
Et revenir en arrière à toute allure
And go back at full speed
Je lis sur les enseignes
I read on the signs
Que quand on saigne des quatre veines
That when you bleed from the four veins
La force manque à la haine
Strength is lacking in hatred
Le cœur manque à la peine
The heart is lacking in pain
Je ronge mon frein
I gnaw my brake
J'atterris sans mon train
I spot without my train
L'ascenseur est cassé
The elevator is broken
Ces chutes insensées
These insane falls
Me font tant de bien
Do me so much good
Une fois au moins dans sa vie
Once at least in his life
De préférence la nuit
Preferably at night
Sous la pluie, écouter Chet Baker
In the rain, listen to Chet Baker
Au fond d'une Studebaker
At the bottom of a Studebaker
Signée Raymond Loewy
Signed Raymond Loewy
Écouter Chet Baker, pleurer sur tout ce qui s'enfuit
Listen to Chet Baker, cry about everything that fled
Se dire que c'est fini
Tell yourself that it's over
Jusqu'à tout à l'heure

Et revenir en arrière à toute allure
And go back at full speed
Écouter Chet Baker, pleurer sur tout ce qui s'enfuit
Listen to Chet Baker, cry about everything that fled
Se dire que c'est fini
Tell yourself that it's over
Jusqu'à tout à l'heure
Up to the time
Et revenir en arrière à toute allure
And go back at full speed
À tout à l'heure
See you later
J'écoute Chet Baker
I listen to Chet Baker
Chet Baker
Chet baker
Sous la pluie
In the rain
J'écoute Chet Baker
I listen to Chet Baker
À tout à l'heure
See you later
