Gabin
City song
Drivers running by
Alone in their cars
Don't stop for me
I look out of place
In their daily race
For I take my time
How I love to stroll
Along deadly roads
Focus on the smallest details
Pictures can't describe
Ever-changing charms
Of this elegant and dirty old town
Squawking birds invading tree-tops
Sing along the city song
Shouting children in the schoolyards
They love this catchy city song
Tune to a sound of throbbing engines
And listen to the city song
Dance a tip-tap on the pavement
While I'm whistling to the city song
Trees are blossoming
In the dusty streets
I start to sneeze
As I'm walking down
Crowded river banks
Tourists and sun
They go shopping then
They stop at a bar
Thousand coffee cups are tinkling
Grocers shouting out
Have them strawberries
Love to barter in the stalls downtown
Tune to a sound of foreign voices
Listen to the city song
In this town a thousand countries
Oh I love this catchy city song
A film location round the corner
Its soundtrack is the city song
Hanging out with wise old beggars
Oh How sad can be the city song
Oh I love this city song
How glad I am
Such a pretty song
You can't go wrong
With this city, city song
Past materialized in stone walls
A stylish girl holding a mirror
Her colours fading in the smog
All our thoughts resound together
Mixed into the city song
For this eternal city song
No you can't go wrong
When you listen to the city song
Can't go wrong with this city song
