69 EROTIC YEAR

(69 Année Érotique)
Translated by Mick Harvey & Katy Beale


Gainsbourg and his Gainsborough have taken the ferry boat
From their bed through the port hole they watch the passing coast
They're in love and they're sailing free for one whole year at sea
Misfortune's an oddity till 1970

69 Year of Love

Gainsbourg and his Gainsborough return to Paris
They have behind them both the Thames and Chelsea
They're in love and they're sailing free for one whole year at sea
They are blessed by deities till 1970

69 Year of Love
69 Annee Erotique

They're in love and they're sailing free for one whole year at sea
He will pardon her caprice till 1970

69 Year of Love
