Ça y est, Converse lacées, cheveux lâchés, on est arrivé
Here we are, laced Converse, hair down, we have arrived
Dedans, ah comme c'est beau
Inside, oh how beautiful it is
Dans les échos sous la coupole
In the echoes under the dome
C'est mieux encore une fois dehors
It's even better outside once again
Il fait si bleu, il fait si bruit
It's so blue, it's so loud
Nous sommes si peu
We are so few
J'ai faim, mon dieu, j'ai faim
I'm hungry, my god, I'm hungry
Grand central, grand central
Grand Central, Grand Central
Tout le monde descend
Everyone gets off
Deux flèches, les feux revêches, le manteau croisé
Two arrows, the stubborn lights, the crossed coat
Les épaules carrées du vétéran
The square shoulders of the veteran
Les policiers, leurs pommes d'Adam
The police officers, their Adam's apples
C'est le printemps
It's spring
Les tours d'acier, quarante-deuxième rue, millième avenue
The steel towers, forty-second street, thousandth avenue
L'armée du salut
The salvation army
Y a pas d'horizon
There's no horizon
C'est de la science-fiction
It's science fiction
Grand central, grand central
Grand central, grand central
Personne l'attend, mais
No one is waiting for it, but
Elle attendait une limousine sous l'auvent de Tiffany
She was waiting for a limousine under the Tiffany awning
On aurait dit la fille du président, une vraie peste
She looked like the president's daughter, a real brat
Sous les bords de sa capeline grésillait une Lucky
Beneath the edges of her wide-brimmed hat, a Lucky was crackling
Elle me demande qui je connais sur la côte Est
She asks me who I know on the East Coast
Entre l'azur et ses yeux blonds, le soleil a choisi
Between the blue sky and her blond eyes, the sun has made its choice
Edie, Edie, fille de paille, Edie de la Factory
Edie, Edie, golden girl, Edie from the Factory
Edie était du genre plutôt très belle
Edie was the type who was quite beautiful
Grand central, grand central
Grand central, grand central
Personne l'attend
No one is waiting for her
