Blues Trottoir - Costard dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre

Suit

In a grey and white suit
there on the couch
there's a guy about 40
sipping a vodka,
a Gitane1 between his fingers,
looking nothing like a Casanova.
 
That's how he looks,
and I think I'm in love.
Love at first sight, I can't help it,
I get those even when I'd rather not.
And now my stilts trip over the carpet2
 
I end up sprawled at his feet
He helps me get up.
Now why am I
shaking like that?
 
He lifts his blue eyes toward me.
'What's up doll, something wrong?'
And I start blabbering all kinds of nonsense.
He says 'your mouth is quite the piece of work,
you're formidable, and that's for sure'
Without further ado, that's the done thing, I ask for his hand.
He doesn't appreciate
this disarray.
 
This is awkward.
What a blunder.
So typical of me,
I'm always causing scandals.
 
I understand all this,
but I have no time to for this.
I want him now.
Now and always.
 
One of his buddies comes around
and the story gets complicated,
because he talks about a certain Juliette I have no clue about.
 
It seems she can't stand it anymore,
she's had enough of all the disappointment
and she'll jump out the window if he goes on like this.
 
He tells me he loves her.
I think he doesn't care.
Anyway, I'm out of here, I quit.
I know this kind of guys
with their 'I'm here to stay no matter what' girls.
 
Mister doesn't give a damn
well, so do I
 
This is awkward.
What a blunder.
When you're too little
you shouldn't dream on
 
He stands there
He stands there in front of me
So I'm waiting
Now and all the time.
 
In a grey and white suit
there on the couch
there's a guy about 40
sipping a vodka,
a Gitane between his fingers,
looking nothing like a Casanova.
 

• 1. iconic macho cigarette
• 2. the sentence reads '[the guy] trips the carpet over my stilts'. I suppose the nonsense is meant to express the confusion of the girl, but I didn't dare translate it

This translation does not claim to be of any particular value.
Glad if you liked it, sorry if you didn't.
You can reuse it as you please.
Glad if it's for knowledge or understanding, sorry if it's just for money or fame.
