Piano mécanique [English translation]

The first metro is leaving in the night

A good hot café before going to bed

There's the same music every morning

Everyday train-train, the mechanical piano

In the retro pop

Very close to the City

Every evening he goes to play

Foxtrots and tangos

Grand-dad's music

For dad's so many sons

The Cole Porter and Gershwin's music

It's the same routine

He is not cross

To go to bed

The first metro is leaving in the night

Three notes and three words before going to bed

He makes the songs, lyrics and music

Everyday train-train, the mechanical piano

He's full of hope

He falls asleep passing by

Sure the people will like it

We'll see that tonight

I have to try

It'll may be a great success

The Cole Porter and Gershwin's music

It's the same routine

I won't be cross

To go to bed

The last metro is leaving in the night

In his retro bar he's playing his melody

But here nobody understands his music

Everyday train-train, the mechanical piano
