We sell steaming soup
On vend d′la soupe qui fume
In the street that is perfumed
Dans la rue qui s'parfume
With jasmine or orchids
Au jasmin ou aux orchidées
There are even some on the chrome
Y en a même sur les chromes
From the taxi, it smells
Des taxis sans baume
Customers on guided tours
Des clients aux visites guidées
This morning I leaned over the bars
Ce matin je me suis penché
And I looked
Par les barreaux et j′ai regardé
The beautiful day
(…)
The beautiful day
(…)
The sun is already beating down on the Manila Hotel
La belle journée
My little sister, I know she's going there
La belle journée
When you eat mango
(…)
It feels soft under the tongue
(…)
So young, what is she doing there?
(…)
And this guy always behind me
(…)
It's probably the DEA
(…)
The beautiful day
(…)
The beautiful day
(…)
I'll have to get away from here
Le soleil tape déjà
Return to the highlands
Sur l'hôtel Manila
To become me too
Ma p'tite sœur je sais qu′elle est là
A Poppy Lord
Quand tu manges d′la mangue
(…)
Ça fait doux sous la langue
(…)
Si jeune qu'est-ce qu′elle y fait là-bas
There's my little sister who was taken from me
Et ce type toujours derrière moi
I have to take her back up there
C'est sûrement la DEA
And the Manila hotel never again,
(…)
Let her forget him
(…)
Warm
(…)
Warm
(…)
Hey, there's the virgin passing by
La belle journée
On the avenue almost opposite
La belle journée
For the carabao party
(…)
The blackbird flies off the roof
(…)
When he sings
(…)
He sings for me
(…)
The beautiful day
(…)
The beautiful day
(…)
