Translation

Ça plane pour moi

Yam ! Bam !
Mon chat Splash gît sur mon lit
A bouffé sa langue
En buvant tout mon whisky
Quant à moi, peu dormi, vidé, brimé
J'ai dû dormir dans la gouttière
Où j'ai eu un flash, uh uh uh uh
En quatre couleurs
 
Allez hop ! Un matin
Une louloute est venue chez moi
Poupée de cellophane, cheveux chinois
Un sparadrap, une gueule de bois
A bu ma bière, dans un grand verre
En caoutchouc, uh uh uh uh
Comme un Indien dans son iglou
 
Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi, moi, moi, moi, moi
Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi
 
Allez hop ! La nana
Quel panard, Quelle vibration
De s'envoyer sur le paillasson !
Limée, ruinée, vidée, comblée
You are the king of the divan!
Qu'elle me dit en passant, uh uh uh uh
I am the king of the divan
 
Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi, moi, moi, moi, moi
Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi
 
Allez hop ! T'occupe, t'inquiète
Touche pas ma planète
It's not today
Que le ciel me tombera sur la tête
Et que l'alcool me manquera, uh uh uh uh
Ça plane pour moi
 
Allez hop ! Ma nana s'est tirée, s'est barrée
Enfin c'est marre à tout casser
L'évier, le bar me laissant seul
Comme un grand connard, uh uh uh uh
Le pied dans le plat
 
Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi, moi, moi, moi, moi
Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi, moi, moi, moi, moi
Ça plane pour moi

Ça plane pour moi (Everything's cruisy for me)

Yam! Bam!
My cat Splash is crashed out on my bed
He's swallowed his tongue
From drinking all my whisky
Whereas me, not much sleep, drained, pissed off,
I had to sleep in the gutter,
Where I had a vision
In four colours
 
Come on, let's go! One morning,
A chick came to my place
Cellophane doll, (with) Chinese hair,
A bandaid, a hangover,
Drank my beer, from a big glass
made of rubber
like an Indian in his igloo
 
Everything's awesome for me
Everything's awesome for me
Everything's awesome for me
Everything's awesome for me
Everything's awesome for me
 
Off we go! That chick,
What enthusiasm, what a buzz
To hit the hay!
Shagged, ruined, emptied, satiated,
"You are the king of the divan"
Is what she told me in passing
I am the king of the divan
 
Everything's awesome for me
Everything's awesome for me
Everything's awesome for me
Everything's awesome for me
Everything's awesome for me
 
Come on! Butt out, back off,
Don't touch my planet
It's not today
that the sky will fall on my head
and that I will miss/run out of alcohol
Everything's awesome for me
 
On we go! My chick took off, shot through
Finally had enough Broke everything
the sink, the bar, leaving me alone
like a big idiot
I put my foot in it
 
Everything's awesome for me
Everything's awesome for me
Everything's awesome for me
Everything's awesome for me
Everything's awesome for me
Everything's awesome for me
Everything's awesome for me
Everything's awesome for me
Everything's awesome for me

"Ça plane pour moi" translates literally as 'it's gliding for me". It's a dated expression, like saying 'everything's groovy', and with a similar meaning.

"brimé" can mean vexed, frustrated or also bullied, hazed.

"gueule de bois" literally means 'wooden face' but also means hungover.

"T'occupe" is short for "ne t'en occupe pas" - don't pay attention to that (in other words, the implication is "butt out").

"T'inquiète" is short for "ne t'inquiète pas", and has a similar general meaning.

"Touche pas ma planète" literally means "don't touch my planet" but has the same feeling as "get off my cloud".

"que l'alcool me manquera" is ambiguous, probably deliberately, and means both "It won't be today that I run out of alcohol" and "It won't be today that I start missing alcohol - as in, alcohol got me into this mess, and I can't see myself giving it up, either.
