Lyrics and translation Warren Zevon - Gorilla, You're A Desperado
Big
gorilla
at
the
L.A.
Zoo
Grand
gorille
au
zoo
de
Los
Angeles
Snatched
the
glasses
right
off
my
face
Il
m'a
arraché
les
lunettes
du
visage
Took
the
keys
to
my
BMW
Il
a
pris
les
clés
de
ma
BMW
Left
me
here
to
take
his
place
Il
m'a
laissé
ici
pour
prendre
ma
place
I
wish
the
ape
a
lot
of
success
Je
souhaite
au
singe
beaucoup
de
succès
I'm
sorry
my
apartment's
a
mess
Je
suis
désolé
que
mon
appartement
soit
un
désastre
Most
of
all
I'm
sorry
if
I
made
you
blue
Surtout,
je
suis
désolé
si
je
t'ai
attristée
I'm
betting
the
gorilla
will,
too
Je
parie
que
le
gorille
aussi,
ma
chérie
They
say
Jesus
will
find
you
wherever
you
go
On
dit
que
Jésus
te
trouvera
où
que
tu
ailles
But
when
He'll
come
looking
for
you,
they
don't
know
Mais
quand
il
viendra
te
chercher,
personne
ne
sait
In
the
mean
time,
keep
your
profile
low
En
attendant,
garde
un
profil
bas
Gorilla,
you're
a
desperado
Gorilla,
tu
es
un
desperado
He
built
a
house
on
an
acre
of
land
Il
a
construit
une
maison
sur
un
acre
de
terrain
He
called
it
Villa
Gorilla
Now
Il
l'a
appelée
Villa
Gorilla
Now
I
hear
he's
getting
divorced
J'ai
entendu
dire
qu'il
est
en
train
de
divorcer
Laying
low
at
L'Ermitage,
of
course
Il
se
terre
à
L'Ermitage,
bien
sûr
Then
the
ape
grew
very
depressed
Puis
le
singe
est
devenu
très
déprimé
Went
through
Transactional
Analysis
Il
a
suivi
une
analyse
transactionnelle
He
plays
racquetball
and
runs
in
the
rain
Il
joue
au
squash
et
court
sous
la
pluie
Still
he's
shackled
to
a
platinum
chain
Il
est
toujours
enchaîné
à
une
chaîne
en
platine
Big
