Baby Carni Bird

The road was blockedLa route était barrée
When he knocked me downQuand il m'a renversée
One evening north of NiceUn soir au nord de nice

Dazzled by the headlightsEblouie par les phares
I met his gazeJ'ai croisé son regard
And I threw myselfEt je me suis jetée

Swallow your salivaRavale ta salive
Your girlish pride!Ton orgueuil de fille!

I got up and gave himJe me suis relevée et je lui ai donné
The hand I had leftLa main qu'il me restait

But I had forgottenMais j'avais oublié
My maiden nameMon nom de jeune fille
So I made it upAlors j'ai inventé

My name is Baby Carni BirdMy name is baby carni bird
I'm the only one in the worldI'm the only one in the world
I'm yoursI'm yours
For I can fly up in the airFor i can fly up in the air
And you can shoot me when you likeAnd you can shoot me when you like
I'm yoursI'm yours

The sky is a peakLe ciel est une cime
From which the stars sinkD'où sombrent les étoiles
And we went thereEt nous y sommes allés

Through the windshieldÀ travers le pare-brise
I saw the snows meltJ'ai vu fondre les neiges
From the highest peaksDes plus hauts sommets

Her lips were wetMouillées ses babines
Her teeth were filesSes dents c'étaient des limes
Her eyes were wolf trapsSes yeux des pièges à loup

And her tales of fireEt ses contes de feu
Of a crazy horse fairyDe fée de cheval fou
Kept me from sleepingM'empêchaient de dormir

My name is Baby Carni BirdMy name is baby carni bird
I'm the only one in the worldI'm the only one in the world
I'm yoursI'm yours
For I can fly up in the airFor i can fly up in the air
And you can shoot me when you likeAnd you can shoot me when you like
I'm yoursI'm yours

The road was Crossed outLa route était barrée
When I was foundQuand on m'a retrouvée
Blooded north of NiceEn sang au nord de nice

The sky is a peakLe ciel est une cime
From which one never returnsD'où l'on ne revient jamais

But don't tell the policeMais le dites pas à la police
Don't tell the policeLe dites pas à la police
