Vanessa Paradis - The Whirlpool of Life
Le tourbillon de la vie
She had rings on every finger
tons of bracelets around her wrists
And also she used to sing with a voice
that, right away, seduced me.
She had eyes, eyes like opal
that fascinated me, that facinated me
The oval of her pale face
of a femme fatale who was fatal to me
We met, we recognized,
we lost sight of each other, we lost sight again
we meet again, we heated up each other,
then we separated
Each one is gone
in the whirl of life
I've seen her one day at night, ouch!
It's been a long time now
To the sound of banjos I recognized her
this strange smile that was so appealing to me
Her voice so fatal, her beautifull pale face
moved me more than ever
I got drunk listening to her
The alcohol makes forget time
I woke up feeling
kisses on my burning forehead
We met, we recognized,
we lost sight of each other, we lost sight again
we meet again, we heated up each other,
then we separated
Each one is gone
in the whirlpool of life
I saw her again one night ha!
she felt into my harms again
When we met
when we recognized each other
why lose sight,
and lose sight again?
When we find each other
when we warm again each other
why separate?
Thus all two, we got back
into the whirlpool of life
we kept on turning
the two of us interlaced
tons of bracelets around her wrists
And also she used to sing with a voice
that, right away, seduced me.
She had eyes, eyes like opal
that fascinated me, that facinated me
The oval of her pale face
of a femme fatale who was fatal to me
We met, we recognized,
we lost sight of each other, we lost sight again
we meet again, we heated up each other,
then we separated
Each one is gone
in the whirl of life
I've seen her one day at night, ouch!
It's been a long time now
To the sound of banjos I recognized her
this strange smile that was so appealing to me
Her voice so fatal, her beautifull pale face
moved me more than ever
I got drunk listening to her
The alcohol makes forget time
I woke up feeling
kisses on my burning forehead
We met, we recognized,
we lost sight of each other, we lost sight again
we meet again, we heated up each other,
then we separated
Each one is gone
in the whirlpool of life
I saw her again one night ha!
she felt into my harms again
When we met
when we recognized each other
why lose sight,
and lose sight again?
When we find each other
when we warm again each other
why separate?
Thus all two, we got back
into the whirlpool of life
we kept on turning
the two of us interlaced
Elle avait des bagues à chaque doigt,
Des tas de bracelets autour des poignets,
Et puis elle chantait avec une voix
Qui, sitôt, m'enjôla
Elle avait des yeux, des yeux d'opale,
Qui m'fascinaient, qui m'fascinaient
Y avait l'ovale de son visage pâle
De femme fatale qui m'fut fatal {2x}
On s'est connus, on s'est reconnus,
On s'est perdus de vue, on s'est r'perdus d'vue
On s'est retrouvés, on s'est réchauffés,
Puis on s'est séparés
Chacun pour soi est reparti.
Dans l'tourbillon de la vie
Je l'ai revue un soir, aïe, aïe, aïe !
Ça fait déjà un fameux bail {2x}
Au son des banjos je l'ai reconnu
Ce curieux sourire qui m'avait tant plu
Sa voix si fatale, son beau visage pâle
M'émurent plus que jamais
Je me suis soûlé en l'écoutant
L'alcool fait oublier le temps
Je me suis réveillé en sentant
Des baisers sur mon front brûlant {2x}
On s'est connus, on s'est reconnus,
On s'est perdus de vue, on s'est r'perdus de vue,
On s'est retrouvés, on s'est séparés,
Puis on s'est réchauffés
Chacun pour soi est reparti.
Dans l'tourbillon de la vie.
Je l'ai revue un soir ah là là
Elle est retombée dans mes bras {2x}
Quand on s'est connus,
Quand on s'est reconnus,
Pourquoi s'perdre de vue,
Se reperdre de vue ?
Quand on s'est retrouvés,
Quand on s'est réchauffés,
Pourquoi se séparer ?
Alors tous deux, on est repartis
Dans l'tourbillon de la vie
On a continué à tourner
Tous les deux enlacés {3x}
Thank you. I was looking for the French - found both the French and a translation.
