Текст и перевод песни Michel Sardou - Valentine Day

Valentine Day

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
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
Valentine Day
Valentine Day
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's Day

From Labrador to the Floridas
Following the bad weather
Men awaited Valentine
A number on a ticket.
From Fort Duquesne to La Balise
From La Balise to Fort Huilier
Men had put on their best shirts
And they waited on the quay.
These prostitutes, these orphans
All those that Paris sent
They called them Valentine
It was a name they loved.

Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day

They arrived in February
Only if the wind allowed
Barely on land, immediately married
It was Valentine's Day
They disembarked before summer
From everywhere, as if raining down
Beauty wasn't the criteria
It was Valentine's Day

Only the sailors remember
Perhaps because sailors
Have saltwater in their veins
We know the sea remembers.
When the ships of the Royal Navy
Hoisted the flag high
From Fort Prudhomme to Lauderdale
It was a frenzy of violins
The day of Valentine's Day
Was a market of whores
Today, translated into French
It's called "La Saint Valentin".

Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day

They embarked at La Rochelle
Carrying all that they had
The dress they wore on their backs
It was Valentine's Day
They arrived to marry
Men they would never love
They didn't have the choice to love
It was Valentine's Day

They descended the gangplank
Then everyone fell silent
And when they opened their umbrellas
The men applauded
It was love and not love
It was a bit of everything one wanted
Long live the king and down with the court
It was Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day.
