Valentine Day (Live) - Michel Sardou traduction en anglais

Valentine Day (Live)

Du labrador jusqu'aux Florides
En suivant le m? chach? b?
Les hommes attendaient Valentine
Un num? ro sur un ticket.
De Fort Duquesne? la Balise
De la Balise? Fort Huilier
Les hommes avaient mis la chemise
Et ils attendaient sur le quai.
Ces prostitu? es ces orphelines
Toutes celles que Paris envoyait
Ils les appelaient Valentine
C'? tait un pr? nom qu'ils aimaient.

Valentine Day
Valentine Day

Valentine Day

Elles arrivaient en f? vrier
Seul'ment si le vent le voulait
A peine? terre sit? t mari? es
C'? tait Valentine Day
Elles d? barquaient avant l'? t?
De partout comme si'l en pleuvait
Le choix n'? tait pas la beaut?
C'? tait Valentine Day

Seulement les marins s'en souviennent
Peut-? tre parce que les marins
Ont de l'eau sal? e dans les veines
On sait que la mer se souvient.
Quand les vaisseaux de la royale
Hissaient en haut le pavillon
De Fort Prudhomme? Lauderdale
C'? tait la folie des violons
La journ? e de Valentine Day
Etait une foire aux catins
Aujourd'hui traduite en fran? ais
On l'appelle "La saint Valentin".

Valentine Day

Elles embarquaient? la Rochelle
Emportant tout ce qu'elles avaient
La robe qu'elles portaient sur elles
C'? tait Valentine Day
Elles arrivaient pour? pouser
Des hommes qu'elles n'aimeraient jamais
Elles n'avaient pas le choix d'aimer
C'? tait Valentine Day

Elles descendaient de la passerelle
Alors tout le monde se taisait
Et quand elles ouvraient leurs ombrelles
Les hommes applaudissaient
C'? tait l'amour et pas l'amour
C'? tait un peu tout c'qu'on voulait
Vive le roi et? bas la cour
C'? tait Valentine Day.

Valentine Day.

Valentine Day (Live)

From Labrador to Florida
Following the "chachach? b?"
The men were waiting for Valentine
A number on a ticket.
From Fort Duquesne to the Balise
From the Balise to Fort Huilier
The men had put on their shirts
And they were waiting on the dock.
These prostitutes, these orphans
All those Paris sent
They called them Valentine
It was a name they liked.

Valentine Day
Valentine Day
Valentine Day
Valentine Day

They arrived in February
Only if the wind wanted it
Barely on land, they were married
It was Valentine Day
They disembarked before summer
From everywhere, as if it was raining
The choice wasn't beauty
It was Valentine Day

Only the sailors remember
Maybe because sailors
Have salty water in their veins
We know the sea remembers.
When the royal ships
Hoisted the flag high
From Fort Prudhomme to Lauderdale
It was the madness of the violins
The day of Valentine Day
Was a fair for whores
Today translated into French
We call it "Saint Valentine's Day".

Valentine Day
Valentine Day
Valentine Day
Valentine Day

They boarded in La Rochelle
Taking everything they had
The dress they wore on them
It was Valentine Day
They arrived to marry
Men they would never love
They had no choice but to love
It was Valentine Day

They came down from the gangway
Then everyone was silent
And when they opened their umbrellas
The men applauded
It was love and not love
It was a little bit of everything we wanted
Long live the king and down with the court
It was Valentine Day.

Valentine Day.
