Lighting your cigarette
you set my heart on fire
I'm seeking happiness,
maybe it's in your bed?
You hacked into my soul
while I was surfing the wave
and I failed miserably, I'm struggling now
while I had enticed you in my net.
Stuff your moods in your socks or in your hat
You're so cute, you drive me crazy
I dream of you coming to my boat
and us partying every night.
Port and starboard
we'll drift away.
I want your body, my treasure.
I'll wait for you on the other side.
And on your striped jersey
I'm looking for this link of ours
You threw it to the sea
to feed the bloody fish.
Here's to our April fool's toxic jokes
Our story is harder to swallow than a bitter pill
Wait for summer to take off your jersey,
your mirror would fall for you. (x2)
The ocean carries us away.
I don't know if you're up to speed
but water coming under my door
might be a disaster, but it's a funny one.
Come join my crew,
catch up with me on the pier.
No doubt we'll end up shipwrecked
but at least we'll try.
So, if today I jump into love
shouting "Hoist the colours!"
that's because I extend my stay
even if that means coming home swimming.
I can see you're losing it,
and you're even retaliating.
So let's run on the sand
before some other guy hits on you.
And on your striped jersey
I'm looking for this link of ours
You threw it to the sea
to feed the bloody fish.
Here's to our April fool's toxic jokes
Our story is harder to swallow than a bitter pill
Wait for summer to take off your jersey,
your mirror would fall for you. (x2)
Single until tomorrow
she's showing off in her swimsuit
Sailorwoman seeks sailorman
willing to stay ashore just to marry her (x2)
And on your striped jersey
I'm looking for this link of ours
You threw it to the sea
to feed the bloody fish.
Here's to our April fool's toxic jokes
Our story is harder to swallow than a bitter pill
Wait for summer to take off your jersey,
your mirror would fall for you. (x2)
Wait for summer to take off your jersey,

J'aime vraiment bien cette chanson. Sa voix a quelque chose de touchant. Les jeux de mots sont bien trouvés et souvent marrants. La musique a la pêche (si j'ose dire). C'est sans prétention. Bref, ça m'a bien plu.
Je ne sais pas si ça parlera à des Anglais, mais en tous cas c'était carrément rigolo à traduire !
