I'm a legionnaire
Camel in disrepair
Hoping for a Frigidaire
To come passing by
I am on reprieve
Lacking my joie de vive
Missing my gay Paris
In this desert dry
And I wrote my girl
Told her I would not return
Terribly taken a turn
For the worse, now I fear
It's been a year or more
Since they shipped me to this foreign shore
Fighting in a foreign war
So far away from my home
If only summer rain would fall
On the houses and the boulevards
And the side walk bagatelles
It's like a dream
With the roar of cars
And the lulling of the cafe bars
The sweetly sleeping sweeping of the Seine
Lord, I don't know if I'll ever be back again
Medicating in the sun
Pinched doses of laudanum
Longing for the old fecundity
Of my homeland
Curses to this mirage
A bottle of ancient Chiraz
A smattering of distant applause
Is ringing in my poor ears
On the old left bank
My baby in a charabanc
Riding up the width and length
Of the Champs Elysees
If only summer rain would fall
On the houses and the boulevard
And the side walk bagatelles
It's like a dream
With the roar of cars
And the lulling of the cafe bars
The sweetly sleeping sweeping of the Seine
Lord, I don't know if I'll ever be back again
If only summer rain would fall
On the houses and the boulevard
And the side walk bagatelles '
It's like a dream
With the roar of cars
And the lulling of the cafe bars
The sweetly sleeping sweeping of the Seine
Lord, I don't know if I'll ever be back again
Be back again
Be back again
I'll be back again
Перевод
Я легионер
Верблюд в плохом состоянии
Надеюсь на фригидера
Пройдёт мимо
Я на отсрочке
Не хватает радости жизни
Пропавший мой веселый Париж
В этой сухой пустыне
И я написал своей девушке
Сказал ей, что не вернусь
Ужасно изменился
Теперь я боюсь худшего
Прошел год или больше
С тех пор, как меня отправили на этот чужой берег
Сражаюсь на чужой войне
Так далеко от моего дома
Если бы только шел летний дождь
По домам и бульварам
И тротуарные вещицы
Это как сон
С ревом машин
И убаюкивающими кафе-барами
Сладко спящие подметание Сены
Господи, я не знаю, вернусь ли я когда-нибудь снова
Лечимся на солнце
Урезанные дозы лауданума
Тоска по былой плодовитости
Моей родины
Проклятие этому миражу
Бутылка древнего Шираза
Тонки далеких аплодисментов
Звенит в моих бедных ушах
На старом левом берегу
Моя малышка в шарабане
Катаюсь в ширину и в длину
По Елисейским полям
Если бы летний дождь падал
На дома и бульвар
И в сторону гулять по вещицам
Это как сон
С ревом машин
И убаюканьем кафе-баров
Сладко спящим плеском Сены
Господи, я не знаю вернусь ли я когда-нибудь снова
Если бы только шел летний дождь
На дома и на бульвар
И на тротуарные вещицы '
Это как сон
Под рев машин
И убаюкивающую атмосферу кафе-баров
Сладко спящая Сена
Господи, я не знаю, вернусь ли я когда-нибудь снова
Вернись снова
Вернись снова
Я вернусь снова
