J’ veux pas finir mes jours à Tombouctouuuu…
(Tombouctouuuu)
La peau tirée par des machines à clous
Moi je veux être frippé, triplement frippé
Frippé comme une triplette de Belleville
J’ veux pas finir ma vie à Accapullllllllcoooo
(Accapullllllllcoooo)
Danser tout raide avec des gigolos
Moi je veux être tordu, triplement tordu
Balancé comme une triplette de Belleville
(Allez les filles, allons…)
Swinging Belleville rendez-vous
Marathon dancing doum dilouuu
Vaudou Cancan, balais tabouuu
Au Belleville swinging rendez-vous
J’ veux pas finir ma vie à Singapouuuur
(Singapouuuur)
Jouer au dico, manger des petits fours
Moi je veux être idiot, triplement z’idiot
Gondolé comme une triplette de Belleville
J’ veux pas finir ma vie à Honoluuluuuu
(Honoluuluuuu)
Chanter comme un oiseau çà n’se fait plus
Je veux ma voix brisée, triplement brisée
Swinguer comme une triplette de Belleville
Swinging Belleville rendez-vous
Marathon dancing doum dilouuuu
Vaudou Cancan, balais tabouuuu
Au Belleville swinging rendez-vous
J’ voudrai finir ma vie à Katmandouuuu
(Katmandouuuu)
C’est bien plus doux de faire des rimes en “ou”
Mais je veux être givré, triplement givré
Swinguer comme les triplettes de Belleville
(Allez les filles…)
Swinging Belleville rendez-vous
Marathon dancing doum dilouuuu
Vaudou Cancan, balais tabouuuu
Au Belleville swinging rendez-vous
Swinging Belleville rendez-vous
Marathon dancing doum dilouuuu
Vaudou Cancan, balais tabouuuu
Au Belleville swinging rendez-vous
Lyrics: Sylvain Chomet
Music: Benoît Charest
Pour écouter! At first, it’s quite hard to catch all the lyrics. but after reading the lyric a few times, it seems not that difficult! Need to look up the dictionary for the vocabs tho…
Found this English version.. the lyric is very close to the french one.
*******
I won’t finish my life in Timbuktu
cheeks so tight my lips are turning blue
I’d like to be wrinkled, utterly wrinkled
wrinkled like a Triplet from Belleville
Don’t want to wind my days in Acapulco
stiff as a board dancing tango-tango
I’d love to be twisted, utterly twisted
twisted like a Triplet from Belleville
“Come on Girls!”
Swinging Belleville rendez-vous
marathon dancing doop dee doop
vaudou Cancan balais taboo
au Belleville swinging rendez-vous
I won’t be an old man in Singapore
playing scrabble and eating petits-fours
I want to be wicked, utterly wicked
wicked like the Triplets from Belleville
I don’t want to end my life in Honolulu
singing like a bird in an ormolu
I want to be as rough, every bit as rough
rough as a Triplet from Belleville
Swinging Belleville rendez-vous
marathon dancing doop dee doop
vaudou Cancan balais taboo
au Belleville swinging rendez-vous
I won’t finish my days in Miami Beach
sweating my heart stalking like an old bitch
I’d like to be flying (Hop!)
utterly flying (Hop! Hop!)
flying like a Triplet from Belleville
Don’t mind ending my life in Katmandu
signing with a sitar and a guru
but I’d prefer to be
much prefer to be
swinging with the Triplets from Belleville
“Come on Girls!”
Swinging Belleville rendez-vous
marathon dancing doop dee doop
vaudou Cancan balais taboo
au Belleville swinging rendez-vous
Swinging Belleville rendez-vous
marathon dancing doop dee doop
vaudou Cancan balais taboo
au Belleville swinging rendez-vous
