Lyrics and translation Serge Gainsbourg - Les Cigarillos




Les Cigarillos
Cigarillos
Les cigarillos ont cet avantage de faire le vide autour de moi
Cigarillos have this advantage of making space around me
J'en apprécie le tabac et la prévenance
I appreciate their tobacco and their thoughtfulness
Les cigarillos ne sont pas comme moi, empreints de timidité
Cigarillos are not like me, marked by shyness
Et leur agressivité est toute en nuance
And their aggression is all in nuance
Sans vous dire jamais rien qui vous blesse
Without ever saying anything that hurts you
Ils vous congédient avec tendresse
They dismiss you with tenderness
Ah, quel tabac
Oh, what tobacco
Quel tabac
What tobacco
Quel tabac
What tobacco
Quel tabac
What tobacco
Ah, quel tabac
Oh, what tobacco
Quel tabac
What tobacco
Quel tabac
What tobacco
Quel tabac
What tobacco
Les cigarillos me valent bien souvent les adieux éplorés
Cigarillos often earn me the tearful farewells
Des femmes de qualité
Of women of quality
Et de courtisanes
And of courtesans
Les cigarillos savent comme moi que ce ne sont pas mes beaux yeux
Cigarillos know as well as I do that it is not my beautiful eyes
Qu'elles implorent, mais un peu
That they implore, but a little
La fin du havane
The end of the cigar
Sans attendre que tout se consume
Without waiting for everything to burn out
Elles disparaissent dans la brume
They disappear into the mist
Ah, quel tabac
Oh, what tobacco
Quel tabac
What tobacco
Quel tabac
What tobacco
Quel tabac
What tobacco
Ah, quel tabac
Oh, what tobacco
Quel tabac
What tobacco
Quel tabac
What tobacco
Quel tabac
What tobacco
Ah, quel tabac
Oh, what tobacco
Quel tabac
What tobacco
Quel tabac
What tobacco
Quel tabac
What tobacco
Ah, quel tabac
Oh, what tobacco
Quel tabac
What tobacco
Quel tabac
What tobacco
Quel tabac
What tobacco
Ah, quel tabac
Oh, what tobacco
Quel tabac...
What tobacco...
