Gabin - City Song lyrics

rate me

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

Everyday we need new lyrics

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
