Import Slingshot Australia

Small tubes (Little Pudding)

Sung by Dominique Walter:



Translation after the jump...

I need some serious help with this one...
(Update: I got help, see Débordante's excellent comments below...)

Dans mon agenda
In my notebook
Quand j'en pique un
When I pick a
Un petit boudin
A little boudin (see comments)
I put it under my arm I could
it under my arm until morning

Until the morning
This small plug
This little sausage

is good for c'que I
It's Good For What I Have
It makes me feel good
It Makes Me Feel Good
The small tubes
Little socks
It's easy and
It's easy and it
not binding
Commits To Nothing
Small rolls
Little socks

Initially it's nothing
At first it's nothing
That small 'canteen (see comments)
Goal, a small gourd
A small bead
A little sausage
Just a touch Just a touch

And it gets
And it
Becomes A small bead
A little Boudin

It n'sait not dir 'It Does not
say no
That qu'j' aim 'well
That's What I really like
In p'tits socks
In the little socks
n'pose That no matter
It Does not ask questions
It n'mange no bread (see comments)
It Does not eat bread rolls
Small
Little boundins

But there is not in my notebook
Goal it's not in my notebook
That lil 'socks
Those little sausages
There especially you, you who have nothing
There's only you, you Who Have Nothing
D a small bead
Of a little sausage
You got nothing to do You've got nothing

in common with the small tubes
With little socks


Lyrics by Serge Gainsbourg, Translation by Greg Smith
