Hello sadness

As
I am the elegant man
I put on the gloves to drive
In Françoise Sagan's1 extravagant racing cars
 
In her novels, in her short stories
This lady miss2 mixes
Some pretty frail melancholies
And I sing my ritornello to her glory
 
Hello
Sadness3
That mad ache4, The leash5
 
Engagements
of the Heart6
Do you like Brahms7?
 
See the happiness as it passes
Let's go see what replaces it
At the Bristol Palace8
At the Black Jack, at the Chemin de Fer9, at the passing tricks
 
Young girls, a little naughty
That older gentlemen tease
At the edge of very pretty swimming pools
In gorgeous Jaguars and Aston Martins10
 
Hello
Sadness
That mad ache, The leash
 
The weather is nice
Day and night
The horse had passed out11
 
Love is all Chinese to me12
The ladies and their pretty faces
The gentlemen are also drowning
In the whiskey, the dream, and the walnut alcohol
 
You have to see what they're going through
How hard love is
Oh it leaves deep wounds
Of which we speak casually
 
Hello
Sadness
That mad ache, The leash
 
The eyes
of silk13
Happiness, odd and passing14
 
As I am the elegant man
I put on the gloves to drive
 
Hello
Sadness

Ahh, ça explique certaines phrases que je ne comprenais pas lors de la traduction ! Merci beaucoup !!
Je vais aménager la traduction en conséquence.

Bonsoir,

Je pense qu'il ne faudrait pas traduire "chemin fer", comme on ne traduit pas "Back jack". Il conviendrait de faire une note pour expliquer que c'est un jeu de hasard qui serait dérivé du Baccara, réservé aux aristocrates et devenu à un moment, illégal vers le milieu de 18ème siècle.

You could try : Love is all Chinese to me.
Love, odd and high. ( Casino language).
