Il était une fois dans l'Ouest encore sauvage
Once upon a time in the still wild West
Un peintre armé de lettres, un vrai tueur-à-gage
A painter armed with words, a true hitman
Avec la jeune Huston, il vanne et se pavane
With young Huston, he jokes and struts around
Il flambait des dollars, trente ans avant SwaggMan
He burned through dollars, thirty years before SwaggMan
Jadis il mélangeait à l'arrière des saloons
Once he mixed in the back of saloons
Des mélodies châtiées, aux rythmes boum-boum-boum
Refined melodies, with rhythms boom-boom-boom
Et dans les plaines immenses de vieux tubes en faïence
And in the vast plains of old earthenware tubes
La magie de Gainsbourg a peuplé le silence
Gainsbourg's magic filled the silence
Super Gainsbarre, The man with the cabbage head
Super Gainsbarre, The man with the cabbage head
Super Gainsbarre, He knows the tricks of the trade
Super Gainsbarre, He knows the tricks of the trade
Super Gainsbarre (c'est l'homme à la tête de choux)
Super Gainsbarre (he's the man with the cabbage head)
Super Gainsbarre (c'est l'homme à la tête de choux, choux, choux)
Super Gainsbarre (he's the man with the cabbage head, cabbage, cabbage)
Super Gainsbarre, The man with the cabbage head
Super Gainsbarre, the man with the cabbage head
Chassé de la cité, le jeune scribe chétif
Chased from the city, the frail young scribe
A tatoué sur le cœur, l'étoile d'un shérif
Tattooed on his heart, the star of a sheriff
Il masque ses démons, en ânonnant des psaumes
He masks his demons, mumbling some psalms
Qu'il note sur sa paume, dans une Rolls Phantom
That he writes on his palm, in a Rolls Phantom
Flics, flingues, spliffs, stup' et sing-sing
Cops, guns, spliffs, drugs and Sing Sing
Bébé et p'tite pépé, pin-up comme bling-bling
Baby and little granny, pin-up like bling-bling
On peut frotter des lampes et écumer quinze bars
We can rub some lamps and crawl through fifteen bars
Ça ne fera pas apparaître le génie d'un Gainsbarre
It won't reveal the genius of a Gainsbarre
Super Gainsbarre, The man with the cabbage head
Super Gainsbarre, The man with the cabbage head
Super Gainsbarre, He knows the tricks of the trade
Super Gainsbarre, he knows the tricks of the trade
Super Gainsbarre (c'est l'homme à la tête de choux)
Super Gainsbarre (he's the man with the cabbage head)
Super Gainsbarre (c'est l'homme à la tête de choux, choux, choux)
Super Gainsbarre (he's the man with the cabbage head, cabbage, cabbage)
Super Gainsbarre, The man with the cabbage head
Super Gainsbarre, the man with the cabbage head
Super Gainsbarre
Super Gainsbarre
Super Gainsbarre
Super Gainsbarre
Super
Awesome
Super Gainsbarre

Super Gainsbarre

L'anamour, Lola rastaquouère
The anamour, Lola rastaquouère
L'homme à la tête de chou, Shuba du Baloo ba
The man with the cabbage head, Shuba from Baloo ba
Orang-outan, bubble-gum, baby-boom, des pets, des vents, des poums
Orangutan, bubblegum, baby boom, farts, breezes, pops
Oh di-du-di-du-da
Oh di-du-di-du-da
L'alalamour, Lololala rastaquouère
The alalamour, Lololala rastaquouère
L'homme à lala-l'homme à la tête de chou, Shuba du Baloo ba
The man with lala-the man with the cabbage head, Shuba from Baloo ba
Orang-outan, bubble-gum, baby-boom, des pets, des vents, des poums
Orangutan, bubblegum, baby boom, farts, breezes, pops
Oh di-du-di-du-da
Oh di-du-di-du-da
