[Translation: With the Aborigines]

I want to go back, to before the womb of my parents
To the Aborigines
Live a life of essential, unprogrammed instincts
With the Aborigines
But then, if coke and tobacco cling to me, and if my body remains stiff
I'll leave the Aborigines, who by then will be plagued by my European germs
And I'll probably become an Australian pop star

I want to chant my acidulous lyrics on TV,
To Aboriginal beats
I'll wallow in the mud, to primitive music
Stolen from the Aborigines
I won't be wearing for 30 years the old, threadbare blue suit* that my elder used to wear
[*refers to a Charles Aznavour song]
No, I'll wear dresses with psychedelic sequins
My car will be an electronic kangaroo

I'm going to Australia, going to Australia, going to Australia
Bye bye Paris.


[Original lyrics:]

Je veux retourner avant le ventre de mes parents,
Chez les Aborigènes
Vivre d'instincts essentiels et non pas programmés
Chez les Aborigènes
Et puis si le coca, le tabac sont trop collés à mon corps grippé
Je quitterai les Aborigènes, minés par mes microbes d'Européenne
Et je deviendrai sans doute une chanteuse australienne

Je veux scander mes paroles acidulées, à la télé,
De rythmes aborigènes
Je me roulerai dans la boue, sur des musiques primitives
Piquées aux Aborigènes
Je ne porterai pas trente ans le même costume bleu tout usé de mon aîné
Mais des robes à paillettes psychedéliques
Ma voiture sera un kangourou électronique

Je pars en Australie, je pars en Australie, je pars en Australie
Adieu Paris
