Paroles et traduction Claude Nougaro - Lady Liberty

Lady Liberty

On la voit de loin dressée sur son île
Avec dans le poing sa torche érectile
Plus on l′approche, plus le cœur vous bat
Dieu qu'elle est haute, surtout vue d′en bas
Son corps de cuivre est d'un vert très doux
Puis il faut suivre la queue des toutous
Pour visiter des pieds à la tête
La Liberté, la grande muette
Faut monter, monter, monter, monter
Pour visiter la Liberté, monter
Faut monter sous ses dessous d'acier
Faut monter, monter, monter, monter
Pour visiter la Liberté chérie
II faut monter Lady Liberty
Monté, monté, j′ai monté sans fin
Monté dans l′ventre, monté jusqu'aux seins
Et dans ses yeux d′où l'on voit le port
J′ai pleuré toutes les larmes de son corps
(De son corps, de son corps, de son corps)
Faut monter, monter, monter, monter
Pour visiter la Liberté, monter
Faut monter sous ses dessous d'acier
Faut monter, monter, monter, monter
Pour visiter la Liberté chérie
II faut monter Lady Liberty
Faut monter, monter, monter, monter
Pour visiter la Liberté, monter
Faut monter sous ses dessous d′acier
Monté, monté, j'ai monté sans fin
Monté dans l'ventre, monté jusqu′aux seins
Monté, monté, j′ai monté sans fin
Monté dans l'ventre, monté jusqu′aux seins
Monté, monté, j'ai monté sans fin

Lady Liberty

We see her from afar, standing on her island
With her erect torch in her fist
The closer we get, the faster your heart beats
God, she's tall, especially seen from below
Her copper body is a very soft green
Then you have to follow the tail of the doggies
To visit from head to toe
Liberty, the great mute
You have to climb, climb, climb, climb
To visit Liberty, climb
You have to climb under her steel underwear
You have to climb, climb, climb, climb
To visit Liberty, my dear
You have to climb Lady Liberty
Climbed, climbed, I climbed without end
Climbed into the belly, climbed to the breasts
And in her eyes from which we see the port
I cried all the tears of her body
(From her body, from her body, from her body)
You have to climb, climb, climb, climb
To visit Liberty, climb
You have to climb under her steel underwear
You have to climb, climb, climb, climb
To visit Liberty, my dear
You have to climb Lady Liberty
You have to climb, climb, climb, climb
To visit Liberty, climb
You have to climb under her steel underwear
Climbed, climbed, I climbed without end
Climbed into the belly, climbed to the breasts
Climbed, climbed, I climbed without end
Climbed into the belly, climbed to the breasts
Climbed, climbed, I climbed without end
