Ballade de Melody Nelson - Serge Gainsbourg , Jane Birkin перевод на английский

Ballade de Melody Nelson

Ca c′est l'histoire
De Melody Nelson
Qu′a part moi-meme personne
N'a jamais pris dans ses bras ca vous etonne

Mais c'est comme ca elle avait de l′amour
Pauvre Melody Nelson
Ouais, elle en avait des tonnes
Mais ses jours etaient comptes Quatorze automnes

Et quinze étés un petit animal
Que cette Melody Nelson
Une adorable garconne
Et si delicieuse enfant

Que je n′ai con nue qu'un instant
Oh, ma melody, ma Melody Nelson
Aimable petite conne tu etais la condition
Sine qua non de ma raison

Ballad of Melody Nelson

This is the story
Of Melody Nelson
That apart from me no one else
Has ever taken in his arms, that should surprise you

But that's how it was, she was in love
Poor Melody Nelson
Yeah, she had it in tons
But her days were numbered, fourteen autumns

And fifteen summers, a little animal
This Melody Nelson
An adorable kid
And a delicious child

Whom I only knew briefly
Oh, my melody, my Melody Nelson
Lovable little idiot, you were the condition
Sine qua non of my reason
