Serge Gainsbourg – Torrey Canyon lyrics
Je suis né dans les chantiers japonais,
En vérité, j'appartiens aux Americains.
Une filiale d'une compagnie navale,
Don't j'ai oublié l'adresse à Los Angeles
Cent vingt mille tonnes de petrole brut
Cent vingt mille tonnes, dans le torrey canyon,
Le torrey canyon.
Aux bermudes, à 30 degré de latitude,
Se tient la barracuda, tankers coporation.
Son patron m'a donné en location
A l'union Oil company de Californie.
Cent vingt mille tonnes de pétrole brut
Cent vingt mille tonnes, dans le torrey canyon,
Le torrey canyon.
Si je bats,
Pavillon du Liberia,
Le captain et les marins,
Sont tous italiens,
Le mazout don't on m'a rempli les soutes,
C'est celui du consortium,
British Petroleum.
Cent vingt mille tonnes espece de brute
Cent vingt mille tonnes, dans le torrey canyon,
Le torrey canyon, le torrey canyon,
Le torrey canyon, le torrey canyon,
Le torrey canyon, le torrey canyon.
