Claude Nougaro - Le cinéma dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre




Cinema

On the pictureless screen of my sleepless nights1
I shoot my own fantasies2
with no money nor camera.
Bardot3 can take a break,
you are my only star.
 
No matter how hard I try, no way I can tell you I love you.
I've got plenty of heart but little guts,
that's why I take revenge
on the pictureless screen of my sleepless nights,
where I shoot my own fantasies.
 
First, a close-up on your hips,
then a travelling panorama
on your king size breasts,
that's how my movie starts.
A smile on my face, I step toward you.
 
Six feet tall,
my sleeves bulging with muscles,
I'm the peerless star4 of my sleepless nights
when I shoot my own fantasies.
You soon end up in my arms.
 
The bed comes like an avalanche
on the pictureless screen of my sleepless nights
where I shoot my own fantasises.
Once, twice, ten, twenty times
I shoot the same sequence
 
where you fall into my arms.
I shoot every night,
even on sundays.
Sometimes the doorbell rings. I open the door, it's you!
Will I grab you by the hips,
like on the screen of my sleepless nights?
I won't. I just say 'how are you doing?'
and take you to the flicks.
 
  • 1. a sleepless night is called a 'white night' in French, making for a nice pun on 'black screen'. I could only try to match it by repeating 'less'. Not nearly as good as the original I'm afraid.
  • 2. 'se faire du cinéma' ('make oneself some cinema') means 'delude oneself', especially about a romantic relationship
  • 3. Brigitte Bardot, as famous a sex symbol in France as Marilyn Monroe in the US
  • 4. 'punching through the screen' means having a great presence

The door across the street from my home





As I walk out the door, Sophie calls me
'Do you already know the news? She's leaving.'
I rush to the window,
Look down the street
And I can't believe my eyes:
A big limousine is leaving, and she's the one driving it
 

I don't know what she's looking for and why she's leaving,
I don't know where she's going, and I don't want to know.
I've been living across from Alice's door for eighteen years,
Eighteen years waiting for another chance to tell her that I love her
But now I'll have
To get out of the habit of living across from Alice's door...
 

At the university, in the park, we would discuss philosophy
I had my arm around her as a friend...
She had long hair, and in the wood of a boat
I had carved our initials for life
And today, the big limousine is here to take her away...
 

I don't know what she's looking for and why she's leaving,
I don't know where she's going, and I don't want to know.
I've been living across from Alice's door for eighteen years
Eighteen years waiting for another chance to tell her that I love her
But now I'll have
To get out of the habit of living across from Alice's door...
 

Sophie calls me back, tells me that she too has been waiting for this moment for eighteen years,
That she loves me, that she only lives for me, that I will forget Alice
But I don't hear her,
It's Alice that I want,
And the big limousine disappears...
 

I don't know what she's looking for and why she's leaving,
I don't know where she's going
And I don't want to know. I've been living across from Alice's door for eighteen years
Eighteen years waiting for another chance to tell her that I love her
But now I'll have
To get out of the habit of living across from Alice's door...

Different Identity





I told, I told myself
I thought of changing my identity
Maybe this time I'll know not to give up
I'm imagining how I'd be a different person
 

And she asks if you've always been there
And every time you know to reply (to what I can't say)
She sees in me the things she searched for
She believed it was what she needed
But who she sees is not me
 

I promised myself, that I'd deal with everything (everything)
Even during nice moments, I want to say I can't,
I tried everything!
 

I lied, I enjoyed not being
I created a world of illusions
 

To this world I always belong,
With fake people who I won't forget,
In a world that's a little superficial, I'm not alone!
 

I promised myself, that I'd deal with everything (everything)
Even during nice moments, I want to say I can't,
I tried everything!
 

I promised myself, that I'd deal with everything (everything)
Even during nice moments, I want to say I can't,
I tried everything!

I was gonna leave you today





Soon I won't remember anymore
How it feels like
When you fall asleep within your smell
I wouldn't remember even
How your face changes
When I call you 'pigeon, pigeon'
And you reply 'pigeon, pigeon'
 

I was gonna leave you today
I'm still here but I won't stay
The words frozen inside of me
You still don't know
 

Soon I'd be on the other side of this town
I'd wish that we'll never meet again
Your new love
And your new faces
They'd hurt me, ouch ouch
It hurts, ouch ouch
 

I was gonna leave you today
I'm still here but I won't stay
The words frozen inside of me
You still don't know
You still don't know
I was gonna leave you today
I'm still here but I won't stay
The words frozen inside of me
You still don't know
I was gonna leave you today

Lie to me, lie to me





I am pulling out wounds and tattoos
I am black, I know man, so please do not lie to me.
We were not brave and we are not young anymore.
I am afraid of home immigrants
 

Lie to me, lie me
Until the first snow falls.
Make me an addict, make me an addict
and then cure me, and then cure me.
