Mes amis nous allons quelque part dont tout
|
le monde
|
Se rappelle d'un endroit ou l'herbe etait
|
toujours verte
|
Et la fete ne s'arretait jamais
|
A autour du rocher
|
|
This a a little tale about a hotel in the Caribbean.
|
Well it wasn't really a hotel, it was a patio
|
bar with funky rooms and an outdoor disco
|
with bad wiring. Some people said if you looked
|
between the cracks of the floorboards of our
|
dance floor you would see Hell. If you ever
|
went there, you would know what I'm talking
|
about. If you never had, then we
|
thought we'd send you a little musical souvenir.
|
|
Some say it was a planet
|
Some say it was a rock
|
For five wild years in L"Orient
|
The party never stopped
|
|
There were pirates from the Indies
|
There were models from Paris
|
There were locals and New Yorkers
|
And the Brazilian Navy
|
|
By mini-moke and scooters
|
In cabs and stolen cars
|
Came the creatures of the evening
|
From St. Martin and from Mars
|
|
Alors, Alors, Alors, Alors alors come on, come on
|
Vien faire un tour autour du rocher
|
On croisera les fantomes du passe
|
Viens faire un tour autour du rocher
|
Sur les souvenirs l'herbe a poussee
|

Girl at the pool table
|
puts on a show for free
|
They were bivouacked in the bathroom
|
By the hot tub near the sea
|
|
Every night at midnight
|
Seems the devil took control
|
And the hill became a parking lot
|
Fueled by rock 'n' roll
|
|
They were talking by the cannon
|
But I couldn't believe my ears
|
The Russian had plutonium
|
The sailor wanted beers
|
|
They shook hands in the moonlight
|
And broke out a big cigar
|
Just business as usual
|
Beneath the tropic stars
|
|
Alors(come on) alors (let's go) alors
|
Vien faire in tour autour du rocher
|
On croisera les fantomes du pass'e
|
Viens faire un tour autour du richer
|
Sur les souvinirs l'herbe a poussee
|
It was better than a painting
|
At le Musee de Beaux Arts
|
And simply what we did for fun
|
Back in the old St. Barts
|
|
Then the glitz and all the glamour
|
Hit like a hurricane
|
Or maybe we just all grew up
|
But it never was the same
|
|
The gendarmes finally closed the joint
|
And the fire it did the rest
|
But on New Year's Eve of '91
|
We sang the last request
|
|
We were dancing in the ashes
|
We were dancing in the sea
|
We were dancing in the ruins
|
Where we left our memories
|
Come on let's go alors
|
Vien faire un tour autour du rocher
|
On croisera les fantomes du pass'e
|
Viens faire un tour autour du rocher
|
Sur les souvinirs l'herbe a poussee
|
|
Alors. Alors, Alors, Alors
|
Vien faire un tour autour du rocher
|
On croisera les fantomes du pass'e
|
Viens faire untour autour du rocher
|
Sur les souvenirs l'herbe a poussee
