Philippe Katerine - Louxor j'adore


Here is a bad translation:
I adoreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee to look at dancing people
ah I often go back to the louxor bar to look at dancing people
I adore, I adore, I adore, I adore, I adooooooore
teachers, pediatric nurses, administrators, graphic designers, bakers, truck drivers, police officers, farmers, housewives, nurses, advisers in orientation, surgeons, mechanics, unemployeds
I adoreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee to look at dancing people
and from time to time I cut the sound......
and I give the sound and I recut the sound......
and I give the sound and I recut the sound.......
and I give the sound
I adoreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
people stop dancing, wonder, become cross, and start to encircle me
and I feel in danger then I say to them
take me, do anything to my ego,
hang me from my feet like the last time
I adoreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
to look at dancing people,
I find it fascinating in the louxor bar to look at dancing people
I adore, I adore, I adore, I adore, I adoreeeeeeeeeee
and I cut the sound......
and I give the sound
and I recut the sound....
and I give the sound
I adoreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I adore, I adore, I adore, I adore
and I cut the sound I adore I adore and I cut the sound
