Brooklyn

C'est pas le paradis
Il y a du parfum dans l'air
Et puis de vrais amis
Qui font tourner les verres
Je ne peux pas sortir d'ici
Avant de trouver la rime
Que me fait passer mes nuits
Dans ce bar de Brooklyn
C'est près de Manhattan
Mais c'est tellement ailleurs
Que le temps se pavane
Avec d'autres couleurs
Il y a un juif arménien
Qui parle de Caruso
Avec un brésilien
Qui se tape un rizotto
Brooklyn Brooklyn Brooklyn by the sea
Brooklyn Brooklyn Brooklyn by the sea
De longs nuages partent en voyages
Juste au-dessus des toits dans un nuage juste au passage
Un souvenir de toi
Et la rivière fuit
Sous les ombres du pont
Et ton visage aussi
Il me reste ton nom
Cette ville horizontale
Cette femme allongée
Cette lumière verticale
Ce souffle de rosée
Le jour ou tu viendras
T'installer à Brooklyn
Je sais que tu comprendras
Cette ville est ma frangine
Cette ville est ma frangine
Brooklyn Brooklyn Brooklyn by the sea
Brooklyn Brooklyn Brooklyn by the sea.
