Paroles et traduction Edgar Bori - Je suis français

Je suis français

Je suis Français, moi, monsieur
Je parle français

Baby-boom, cash-flow
Living-room, jazz-band
Happening, manager
Footing, jackpot
Marketing et e-mail
Water-closet ou W.-C.

Le lunch, le punch
De l'overdrive à l'overdose
De Miss France au milk-shake
Je vis le night life
Non-stop
Je suis Français, moi, monsieur
Je parle français

Le challenge, le look, Ze Race
Free-lance sur mon attaché-case
Photo-finish de baby blues
Un peu loser
C'est mon job
Sans checkpoint, sans warning
Ça a du punch, Made in Japan, c'est un gag

Drugstore pour pharmacie
Pressing pour nettoyeur
Fast-food pour vie meilleure
Français de flash-back
Français de France

Building pour gratte-ciel
Shopping pour lèche-vitrine
Freezer pour cerveaux lents
Français de vieilles traces
Français qui flanche

J'upgrade à superstar, je swingue
Un peu space, non, mon timing?
Je suis fair-play
De bon background
J'ai des feelings fashion
On va pas tous se crasher
J'aime bien ma langue
Seulement faut s'battre
Pour se défendre

J'ai changé un bout de paroles ici

C'est plus la même chose
Comme dit la course au père peinard
L'avenir s'en va
Sous le bras des États-Unis
Je suis Français, moi, monsieur
Je parle français

Le hamburger s'est élu king
Ras-le-bol d'êtres people
J'entends dumping et lobbying
Le B to B or not to be
Le hit-parade, le top 50
Tout l'inculture du modern style
Le packaging et les remakes
Les royalties, le piercing
C'est un scoop, c'est un score
Le trekking, le training
Booker et tour operator
Je suis Français, moi, monsieur
De France

Black-out, en Access
Airbag, box-office, big band
Français de France
Standing, briefing, camping-car ou mobile home
Challenger, charter, check-up, container
Français de France
Français de flash-back

De chewing-gum, de come-back, de stock-option, de beau design
De one shot à happening, de prime time à provider
C'est le business
Le reporter en rocking-chair
Bush Bay des débardeurs
Et les sex-shops, n'ayons pas peur des mots
J'ai pas dit salope
Français comme shooteur, comme sponsor, comme stretching
Ça vous forme une conversation
Le in, c'est out
C'est dans les rues, dans les talk-shows
United States et son flambeau
Je suis Français, moi, monsieur
Je parle français

Family Village, Discount Store, drive-in, le Peugeot Color Line
Ze Mc Chicken, Ze Filet-O-Fish
À quand les soirées at Ze movies
And Ze Brigitte Bardot
With Ze phoque in Zi industries

Je ne suis pas ridicule
Je suis Français

I Am French

I am French, my dear,
I speak French

Baby-boom, cash-flow
Living-room, jazz-band
Happening, manager
Footing, jackpot
Marketing and e-mail
Water-closet or W.-C.

Lunch, punch
From overdrive to overdose
From Miss France to milkshake
I live the nightlife
Non-stop
I am French, my dear,
I speak French

The challenge, the look, Ze Race
Freelance with my briefcase
Photo-finish of baby blues
A bit of a loser
It's my job
Without checkpoints, without warnings
It's got punch, Made in Japan, it's a gag

Drugstore for pharmacy
Dry cleaner for cleaner
Fast-food for a better life
French from flashbacks
French from France

Building for skyscraper
Shopping for window-shopping
Freezer for slow brains
French from old traces
French who falters

I upgrade to superstar, I swing
A bit spacey, no, my timing?
I am fair play
With a good background
I have fashion feelings
We're not all going to crash
I like my language
But we have to fight
To defend ourselves

I changed a few lyrics here

It's not the same anymore
As the race to the laid-back father says
The future is going away
Under the arm of the United States
I am French, my dear,
I speak French

The hamburger has been elected king
Fed up with being people
I hear dumping and lobbying
The B to B or not to be
The hit parade, the top 50
All the lack of culture of modern style
Packaging and remakes
Royalties, piercing
It's a scoop, it's a score
Trekking, training
Booker and tour operator
I am French, my dear,
From France

Blackout, in Access
Airbag, box office, big band
French from France
Standing, briefing, camper or mobile home
Challenger, charter, check-up, container
French from France
French from flashbacks

From chewing gum, from comebacks, from stock options, from beautiful design
From one-shot to happening, from prime time to provider
It's the business
The reporter in a rocking chair
Bush Bay of the dockworkers
And the sex shops, let's not be afraid of words
I didn't say slut
French as a shooter, as a sponsor, as stretching
That forms a conversation
The in is out
It's in the streets, in the talk shows
The United States and its torch
I am French, my dear,
I speak French

Family Village, Discount Store, drive-in, the Peugeot Color Line
Ze McChicken, Ze Filet-O-Fish
When will there be evenings at Ze movies
And Ze Brigitte Bardot
With Ze seal in Zi industries

I am not ridiculous
I am French
