Mr_Lee_PHD

Whoa, thanks man.

I'm going to try and switch it up now, between alta vista and your translation.

A meteorite just hit me in the heart
Do you have any doctors on earth
I need a mercury transfusion
I have lost so much from my wound
Take my spacewoman clothes off
Take that space dust out of my body
Understand that I need to get back to my lover in the galaxy

So its about some alien chick who had a bit of a mis-hap while crusuing round in space...

robert_murt

Yeah! now it's a perfect translation!

Funny cause I never really think of that lyrics before..

Every girls who worked with Gainsbourg (France Gall, Brigitte Bardot, Anna Karina, Jane Birkin) has done some weird lyrics shit at least once in their careers..

Most french lyrics are stupid, specially girl's songs...we never really got deep into it before Gainsbourg, Brel and Ferr??.

And the reason why people knows those girls is sex!! Gainsbourg went with Bardot then Birkin. He have a child with Birkin, Charlotte, which is an actress now.

He was fascinated with Bardot but he never forgot to mention how dumb she was, specially before he died (the girl married a racist/extremist politician).

How about Gainsbourg's "Les Sucettes," penned for a teenage France Gall (apologies for the weird characters in the French lyrics):

LES SUCETTES

Cammi aime les sucettes,
Les sucettes à l'anis.
Les sucettes à l'anis
D'Cammi
Donnent à ses baisers
Un goût ani-
Sé. Lorsque le sucre d'orge
Parfumé à l'anis
Coule dans la gorge d'Cammi,
Elle est au paradis.

Pour quelques pennies, Cammi
A ses sucettes à l'anis.
Elles ont la couleur de ses grands yeux,
La couleur des jours heureux.

Cammi aime les sucettes,
Les sucettes à l'anis.
Les sucettes à l'anis
D'Cammi
Donnent à ses baisers
Un goût ani-
Sé. Lorsqu'elle n'a sur la langue
Que le petit bâton,
Elle prend ses jambes à son corps
Et retourne au drugstore.

Pour quelques pennies, Cammi
A ses sucettes à l'anis.
Elles ont la couleur de ses grands yeux,
La couleur des jours heureux.

Lorsque le sucre d'orge
Parfumé à l'anis
Coule dans la gorge d'Cammi,
Elle est au paradis.

Translation from http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Musee/1489/gainsbourg/texts/lessucettes.html

Annie likes lollipops,
Aniseed lollipops
Annie's aniseed lollipops
Give her kisses
An aniseed taste.
And when the barley sugar,
Perfumed with aniseed,
Slides down Annie's throat
She is in paradise.
For a few pennies
Annie,
Gets her aniseed lollipops.
They have the colour of her eyes,
The colour of happy days.
Annie likes lollipops,
Aniseed lollipops
Annie's aniseed lollipops
Give her kisses
An aniseed taste.
When on her tongue
Just a small stick remains,
She jumps to her feet
And returns to the drugstore.
For a few pennies
Annie,
Gets her aniseed lollipops.
They have the colour of her eyes,
The colour of happy days.
When the barley sugar,
Perfumed with aniseed,
Slides down Annie's throat
She is in paradise.
