Текст песни Irishman in Paris - The Irish Rovers

Drinking wine instead of porter
Life is grand in the Latin Quarter
Oh là là, and c'est la vie
An Irishman in gay Paris

To the shores of France I made my way
Though I couldn't parlez-vous français
But tout suite I did come to see
That Paris was the place to be

Drinking wine instead of porter
Life is grand in the Latin Quarter
Oh là là, and c'est la vie
An Irishman in gay Paris

Les mademoiselles I do adore
They dance you all around the floor
And when I sing them Irish songs
They laugh and say, "Chantez très bon"

Drinking wine instead of porter
Life is grand in the Latin Quarter
Oh là là, and c'est la vie
An Irishman in gay Paris

It's jigs and reels for an Irishman
But the French, they love the ould Can-can
For they lift their skirts up high to dance
Mais oui, c'est fantastique en France

Drinking wine instead of porter
Life is grand in the Latin Quarter
Oh là là, and c'est la vie
An Irishman in gay Paris

Sur rue Saint-Germain, there's a small café
And you'll find me there any time of day
I'll be sipping wine with a wandering eye
Say, c'est bon to watch les filles go by

Drinking wine instead of porter
Life is grand in the Latin Quarter
Oh là là, and c'est la vie
An Irishman in gay Paris

Drinking wine instead of porter
Life is grand in the Latin Quarter
Oh là là, and c'est la vie
An Irishman in gay Paris

Now, when I return to Belfast town
My friends will greet me with a frown
With my new moustache and my wee beret
They'll think that George has turned français

Drinking wine instead of porter
Life is grand in the Latin Quarter
Oh là là, and c'est la vie
An Irishman in gay Paris

Drinking wine instead of porter
Life is grand in the Latin Quarter
Oh là là, and c'est la vie
An Irishman in gay Paris

Un, deux, trois, quatre
