Te revoir

Words: Daniel Tardieu 

Music: Alain Bashung

J'ai mis K.O. mon réveille-matin 

I set my alarm clock to knockout

J'ai fait voler la mousse dans mon bain

I made the mousse in my bath fly

Ma 4L est partie en criant

My (Renault) 4L left shrieking

Je pars devant tu nous rejoins

I part before you rejoin us

Te revoir te revoir te revoir

To see you again, to see you again, to see you again
Ca va faire fumer l'goudron des trottoirs
It's going to make the tar on the sidewalks smoke
Ca va m'faire pousser des ailes et des nageoires

It's going to make me push wings and fins
Te revoir

To see you again

Tout mon corps tous mes nerfs te réclament

All my body all my nerves reclaim you
Voilà c'que dit ton télégramme

That's what your telegram said
Et depuis j'ai plus les pieds sur Terre

And since then my feet aren't on the Earth
Je bouillonne comme un Alka Seltzer

I boil like an Alka Seltzer

Te revoir te revoir te revoir

To see you again, to see you again, to see you again
Ca va faire fumer l'goudron des trottoirs
It's going to make the tar on the sidewalks smoke
Ca va m'faire pousser des ailes et des nageoires

It's going to make me push wings and fins
Te revoir

To see you again

Le train arrive j'entends les bravos

The train arrives I hear the bravos
Wagner a mis à fond la sono

Wagner has gone all out with the sound effects
Je t'ouvre grand les bras et rideau

I open my arms and curtain wide to you
On n'y croit pas tellement c'est trop

You wouldn't believe it it's really too much

Te revoir te revoir te revoir

To see you again, to see you again, to see you again
Ca va faire fumer l'goudron des trottoirs
It's going to make the tar on the sidewalks smoke
Ca va m'faire pousser des ailes et des nageoires

It's going to make me push wings and fins
Te revoir

To see you again
