Serge Gainsbourg - La nostalgie camarade Engelse vertaling songtekst

Je score:

That's nostalgia for you, buddy

What the hell got into you, bringing down the hut
of this little black wog(1), then drawing your blade,
slicing open the primitive belly
fresh from the savanna
That's nostalgia for you, buddy (x4)
What made you posess this delicate girl,
against her will and under her claws.
About regrets you answer "negative"
and even still you snigger.
That's nostalgia for you, buddy (x4)
What goes into you, my cane sugar candy,
Honking your horn in your face, sinking against the reefs of your memories
Reviewing your [moral] debts while sniffing pine resine(2)
That's nostalgia for you, buddy (x4)
There's so much going on inside your shaved skull
It's full of sadness and cannabis
You still picture yourself in cammo fatigues, packed with explosives
jumping out of your plane.
That's nostalgia for you, buddy (x8)
----------------------------------------
(1) "panoupanou" means (phonetically) "not us ! not us !". A strongly derogative term for black Africans based on what they supposedly yell when shot at after being mistaken for apes.
(2) Not sure about this one. I assume "colophane" is a substance used to make guitar strings sound better. So this could be an allusion to playing the guitar. Alternatively this could be slang for some drug...

La nostalgie camarade

LA NOSTALGIE CAMARADE

Qu'est ce qui t'as pris bordel de casser la cabane,

De ce panou panou, puis sortir ton kif,

Ouvrir le billet de primitif,

Qui débarquait de sa savane

La nostalgie camarade, la nostalgie camarade

La nostalgie camarade, la nostalgie camarade

Qu'est ce qui t'as fait prendre cette fille diaphane,

Contre son gré, et sous ses griffes,

Des regrets tu reponds négatif,

Mais encore tu ricanes.

La nostalgie camarade, la nostalgie camarade

La nostalgie camarade, la nostalgie camarade

Qu'est ce qui te prends mon sucre de canne,

De te klaxonner la gueule,

Sombrer sur les récifs de ta mémoire,

Et revoir ton passif en respirant la colophane

La nostalgie camarade, la nostalgie camarade

La nostalgie camarade, la nostalgie camarade

Il s'en passe des choses sous ton crâne rasé,

C'est plein de tristesse et de kifs,

Tu te vois encore en tenue léopard, bourré d'explosif,

Sauter de ton aéroplane.

La nostalgie camarade, la nostalgie camarade

La nostalgie camarade, la nostalgie camarade

Camarade, camarade, camarade, camarade.

La nostalgie camarade, la nostalgie camarade

La nostalgie camarade, la nostalgie camarade

La nostalgie camarade, la nostalgie camarade
