Manu
Manu
Hey Manu go back home,
Your beer is full of tears,
The pub is gonna close,
Plus, you bore the owner,
I thought a man in leather,
That could never weep,
I even thought suffering,
Would never affect you,
I forgot your tattoos,
As well as your shank,
Is before all an armor,
For your artichoke heart. (soft-hearted)
Eh, don’t fuck about Manu,
Don’t go slitting your wrists,
One woman lost,
It’s ten pals that come back.
We all had somebody
When you were all alone
You were saying: “I’m bored,
I’d like to save my mug”.
You bumped into this bird,
Who was made for no one,
You said: “She is for me
Or there is misdeal”.
You went a little fast,
To tattoo her first name,
At the place where beats,
Your big moron’s big heart.
Eh, don’t fuck about Manu,
It’s my feelings you’re hurtin’
One woman lost,
It’s ten pals that come back.
I’ll say we are like wolves,
We’re born to live in packs,
But especially not in couples,
Or at least not for very long,
For us lot it’s been time,
Since we left out little ones,
You, you’re still on the blink,
With yours and freaking out,
Eh Manu, to live free,
Often means to live alone,
It may hurt your guts,
But it’s good for your mug.
Eh, don’t fuck about Manu,
There is no point in hatred.
One woman lost,
It’s ten pals that come back.
She’s not in love no more,
Manu you got to let it go,
She cannot be happy,
In a ruffian’s arms,
When you say “I love you”,
If she asks for a light,
If she’s got a headache,
When she is in your sheets,
Tell her that you’re sorry,
You must’ve chosen the wrong path,
The time you met her,
You must have been in the wrong tale.
Eh don’t fuck about Manu,
Don’t go slitting your wrists,
One woman lost,
It’s ten pals that come back.
Eh, don’t fuck about Manu,
It’s my feelings you’re hurtin’
One woman lost,
It’s ten pals that come back.
Eh, don’t fuck about Manu,
There is no point in hatred.
One woman lost,
It’s ten pals that come back.

In the chorus, I think he tells (his alterego) Manu not to screw things up, like: :Hey, Manu, don't do anything stupid..."
Well the meaning is just about there but it doesn't read as very natural English - true enough.
I think it would more be a case of starting from scratch rather than fixing it up though! :)
Heh, I'll have a go soon - work is most unreasonably requiring me to do work! ;)
The two times he uses "gueule" ...
face/mug doesn't seem quite right. Is it more like "his head" or "his mind" in this case?
Right - I thought maybe "save my skin" but wasn't sure if I was on the money or not. Thanks!
(watch this space...)
Had a go - see what you think.
Not quite sure I've got "Bonne pour la pomme" right..
:)
:D :D
