Je respire l'air doux de la cité
Cité, cité ah-ah
On circule aux couleurs des néons
Néons, néons ah-ah
Je m'imagine dans un film Français
Français, Français ah-ah
Dans cette foutue mercedes blanche
Dans cette foutue mercedeeeees!
La nuit
Cette nuit
Oh nuit - ho la nuit sans fin!
La nuit
Cette nuit
Oh nuit - ho la nuit sans fin!
Minuit j'suis si high à la party
Party, party ah-ah
Le mix de gelée vodka et le beat
Le beat, le beat ah-ah
Tu flashes sur ce balcon de Paris
Paris, Paris ah-ah
Et m'excites avec ton look risqué!
Tu m'excites avec ton looook!
La nuit
Cette nuit
Oh nuit - ho la nuit sans fin!
La nuit
Cette nuit
Oh nuit - ho la nuit sans fin!
Cherche la tombe de Gainsbourg à six heures
Six heures, six heures ah-ah
Nos coeurs cocaine à Montparnasse
Coca, coca ah-ah
On assassine un de ces airs!
Ces airs, ces airs ah-ah
'Joue à cache cache 'vec le matin
Jouns à cache cache!
La nuit
Cette nuit
Oh nuit - ho la nuit sans fin!
La nuit
Cette nuit
Oh nuit - ho la nuit sans fin!
La nuit
Cette nuit
Oh nuit - ho la nuit sans fin!
La nuit
Cette nuit
Oh nuit - ho la nuit sans fin!
La nuit
Cette nuit
Oh nuit - ho la nuit sans fin!
La nuit
Cette nuit
Oh nuit - ho la nuit sans fin!
Cité, cité ah-ah
On circule aux couleurs des néons
Néons, néons ah-ah
Je m'imagine dans un film Français
Français, Français ah-ah
Dans cette foutue mercedes blanche
Dans cette foutue mercedeeeees!
La nuit

Oh nuit - ho la nuit sans fin!

Perhaps they write in French and German in there songs not only and mainly for the translation of the word but also for the sound.
Even though it is nice to understand what they are talking about one should enjoy the sounds, beat and music.
I know a little french and i like knowing only a few of the line.
It is fun to gain your own interpretation of it.
If they wanted a solid and exact meaning they would have written in english.
Such a good song
Love the Robots and Gainsbourg X
Could mean like flashing your boobs ( like lifting your top for a couple of seconds for a laugh)
I could quite easily imagine the Robots doing that of a Parisian balcony :D
City, city, ah-ah.
It circulates the neon colors
Neon, neon, ah-ah.
I imagine a film in French
french, french, ah-ah.
In this bloated white Mercedes
In this bloated Mercedes.
The night,
tonight,
Oh night, oh night without end.
Midnight I'm so high at the party.
party, party ah-ah.
The mix of vodka gelée and the beat
the beat, the beat ah-ah.
You flash on the balcony of Paris
paris, paris, ah-ah.
And me excited, with your look risky,
you with your exiting look.
The night,
tonight,
Oh night, oh night without end.
The night,
tonight,
Oh night, oh night without end.
Search the tomb of Gainsbourg for six hours,
six hours, six hours ah-ah.
Our hearts, cocaine, at Montparnasse
cocaine, cocaine, ah-ah.
It assassinates one of these tunes
These tunes, these tunes ah-ah.
it plays hide and seek in the morning,
plays hide and seek.
The night,
tonight,
Oh night, oh night without end.
ETCETERA...
We pronounce "bite" (in French, the jargon word for penis) quite as "beat" in English and not as "to bite" (as "this dog bite me"). You're totally right, gracefulstalker. I spoke about the way it is written (B-I-T-E).
And this is "LA bite" (feminine word) and not "LE bite" in french.
So the word in the song is "beat" (music). In France (and Belgium too), we often use english word like this one.
I am absolutely sure of it :)
Then, "flasher" could mean "to fall in love at first sight" but there is another meaning. You could use "flasher" when you're high on crack or something else (not necesarely) and you have hallucinations. You know : "est-ce un éléphant rose là en bas ou est-ce moi qui flashe ?" ("Is this a pink elephant or am I just "flashing" ?")
"Assasiner un de ces airs" means... to sing in an awfully way a melody (a famous one I guess, "un de ces" means one of thoses timeless melodies but I'm not sure). You know, when you are drunk and you try to sing a song (very loudly most of the time) but the result is awfull ?
And finally, "la tombe de Gainsbourg" is his grave. "Tombe" is "Tombeau", exactly the same meaning.
