Elle voulait qu'on l'appelle Venise [English translation]

She wanted

Me to call her Venice

You see me

Striped vest, doting voice

As a gondolier

Paddling for a cherry

For a kiss

She wanted to be called Venice

What a funny idea

What a funny idea

What a funny idea

I was under the command of her exquisite voice

You see me

Submissive heart and enamored soul

As a mariner

If women want to be called Venice

Take them seriously

Don't try to find anyone better

Don't try to find anyone better

Don't try to find anyone better

Then she ran away

Without her suitcase

Towards the mysterious fog

Sometimes she would dream of ice floes

Then prefer a raging Tarzan

As for me, with my tied up heart in my shirt

I always give what I can

She wanted me to call her Venice

Soaking eyes

Broken back, spare rib

On a running board

Tilting like the tower of Pisa

For a kiss

She wanted to be called Venice

What a funny idea
