P'tit blonde du boulevard brune [English translation]

Tonight Manu Chao is in Siberia

With the power and enthousiam

Universal Siberia, Manu Chao, Universal

Boulevard Brune, it's midnight

She was blond and so pretty

It was like fog had made me blind

Beneath the bright light of a lighthouse

Pretty blonde from Boulevard Brune

I will light you up and then I shall smoke you

Beside a police car

On the corner of the green space, you don't say anything

What's your name? I don't know!

Where are you going? I forgot!

Pretty blonde from Boulevard Brune

I will light you up and then I shall smoke you

No problem, the show begins

Pretty blonde from Boulevard Brune

I will light you up and then I shall smoke you

On the corner of the green space, my pretty blonde

Beside the car, it's midnight

I look at you, you're burning up

Beside the police car

Where are you going? Where was I?

On the corner of the green space underneath the bright lighthouse

I let you have my bitterness

Social trafficker

The kingdom of rotteness that's me

It's Aldo, king of the rotten

The dogs are thirsty, the pigeons fly

The sea is full of golden numbers

It's raining crocodile tears

Life is beautiful, the world sucks

The dogs are thirsty, the pigeons fly

The sea is full of golden numbers

It's raining crocodile tears

Life is beautiful, the world sucks

We live in a messed-up world

In a messed-up world there are mean people

There are no problems

Paris by day, Paris by night

Paris the cops, Paris punished

Pretty blonde from Boulevard Brune

Amid the haze, my misfortune

On the corner of the green space I tell you to come

To the corner of the green space come finally

A cigarette butt under your sole

Pretty blonde from Boulevard Brune

A cigarette butt under your sole

And the cops won't leave me alone

Once more, will you come

Or are you leaving?

Nothing in your pocket, the night sucks

I know nothing, I don't say anything

Boulevard Brune, it's midnight

She was blonde and so pretty

Pretty blonde from Boulevard Brune

There are no problems

The dogs are thirsty, the pigeons fly

The sea is full of golden numbers

It's raining crocodile tears

Life is beautiful, the world sucks

The dogs are thirsty, the pigeons fly

The sea is full of golden numbers

It's raining crocodile tears

Life is beautiful, the world sucks
