Panne de courant (Piscine noire) (English translation)

English translation

Blackout (black pool)

I was hearing the crickets1
when the light bulb burned out.
Killer silence.
I was taking LSD.
Killer silence.
I was hearing crickets
I was taking LSD
 
I'll have a peach-banana, please, sir
An anal sex if you fancy me, if I pay you, sir2
In the villa the echo rings,
like a flash of lightining in the night at midnight sharp.
Among all these dandys I was practically depressive.
I grabbed the chance to grab3 Sandy's, Andy's and Candice's asses.
I was experiencing a fire, despite what they said they were cold,
but I was feeling hot in the middle of this dark icesheet.
Near the pool, my fingers in your socket4
Bring on the drinks, pay your stuff5.
I don't give a rat's ass about one third of what they say.
My eyes closed, I'm harbouring dark thoughts on a grey matter screen.
 
We'll all go to heavens6,
but not to Hollywood, ever.
Near the pool you said to me
Drugs, drugs is always a powder.
We'll all go to heavens
but not to Hollywood, ever.
Our eyes are staring into the night,
but never Hollywood's night, ever.
 
  • 1. Lucky her. Crickets have become so scarce in France there are not many places left where you can hear them
  • 2. I could not render the puns on "s'il vous plait" (if you please), "si je vous plais" (if you fancy me) and "si je vous paie" (if I pay you)
  • 3. I suppose it's about "mettre la main au cul" ("put your hand on sb's ass", ie "grab sb's ass").
    That's a bit of yoofspeak for sure, but I never heard anybody use it Regular smile
  • 4. I leave the interpretation of that metaphor to the reader
  • 5. some kind of drug I guess
  • 6. that's a popular song of the 70's

Thank you. A lot of their songs are WTH moments but I'm into really weird music lately so I like them quite a bit

That will teach you a lot of dirty words. "Whorier than any whore", really? Teeth smile

You're implying I didn't already know the dirty words in French Wink smile At least that song was in a movie?

Since you asked for a translation, you might have Wink smile
Yep, apparently it was in the OST of an horror movie. Didn't see it though.

Yeah my friend actually showed me them because she really likes the movie that the song is from. I haven't seen it either.
