Lola rastaquouère (Live, Casino de Paris / 1985)

Comment oses-tu me parler d'amour toi hein
Toi qui n'as pas connu Lola Rastaquouère
Je lui faisais le plein comme au Latécoère
Qui décolle en vibrant vers les cieux africains
Lola Rastaquouere, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouere, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouere, Rasta
Elle avait de ces yeux un vrai chat abyssin
Et ses seins deux sphères
Entre lesquelles j'abandonnais deux mois de salaire
Pour y rouler mon pauvre joint
Lola Rastaquouere, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouere, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouere, Rasta
Quand dans son sexe cyclopéen
J'enfonçais mon pieu tel l'Ulysse d'Homère
Je l'avais raide plutôt amère
C'est moi grands dieux qui n'y voyais plus rien
Lola Rastaquouere, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouere, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouere, Rasta
Dans la moiteur torride de sa croupe d'airain
On pouvait voir éclore des renoncules par-derrière
Et par devant un conifère
Me rappelait un air jamaïcain
Lola Rastaquouere, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouere, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouere, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouere, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouere, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouere, Rasta...

Lola Rastaquouere (Live, Casino de Paris / 1985)

How dare you speak to me of love, you young lady
You who never knew Lola Rastaquouère
I filled her up like the Latécoère
That takes off with a roar towards the African sky
Lola Rastaquouère, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouère, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouère, Rasta
Her eyes were like those of a real Abyssinian cat
And her breasts, two spheres
Between which I left two months' salary
To roll my poor joint
Lola Rastaquouère, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouère, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouère, Rasta
When in her cyclopean sex
I plunged my stake like Ulysses of Homer
I had it stiff, rather bitter
It was me, great gods, who could no longer see
Lola Rastaquouère, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouère, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouère, Rasta
In the torrid heat of her brazen rump
You could see buttercups blooming behind
And in front, a conifer
Reminded me of a Jamaican tune
Lola Rastaquouère, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouère, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouère, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouère, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouère, Rasta
Lola Rastaquouère, Rasta...
