Les Paradis Perdus [English translation]

In my pink silk jacket

I am gloomy

The twilight is magnificent ... but

Maybe one day you will want to

Meet up with me

In the lost paradises

Dandy, a little cursed, a little aged,

In this collapsing luxury

Do you remember when I sang

In the cellars of London?

A little drowned in smoke

This sophisticated rock

You stayed there every night

Maybe one day you will want to

Meet up with me

In the lost paradises

Dandy a little cursed a little old

The musicians are wrinkled

On this keyboard which has turned yellow

I try to remember again the chords of

This sophisticated rock

Who even surprised the English?

Maybe one day you will want to

Meet up with me

In the lost paradises
