translation lyrics

Like an old habit despite the years
I turned the corner of the station;
Like every time my heart jumped
When the tank passed over the tracks.

I lowered my window, twenty years of my life
came back to me in memory
The lilacs in flower, the wet asphalt
When the watering can has just passed

REFRAIN:
No banners, no speeches,
It's just an alley cat that goes into its yard;
Without trumpet or drum
After a long detour.
I came back to the neighborhood,
Returned to stay there...
It is the return of the flâneur
After a long detour.

I prowled at random in the streets, in the alleys,
It's like I never left
I put on my old runnings that gave me wings,
I sewed up the threads of my life.

REFRAIN

In the window of the old barber
I saw my face smiling at me...
It is the first mirror for years
That recognizes me!

REFRAIN

Great song JP, love the harmony vocals and some nice country-style guitar licks. Telecaster ? Reminded me a bit of the Eagles.

Telecaster ? Reminded me a bit of the Eagles.

and this Dommage beautiful song is cloned by JP

For me, your recording JP has a Greatful Dead feel.  Quite a lovely recording!  Lots of detail and the bottom real has a tight pocket.  I like the vocals and especially the backing vocals.

[Bluesberry]

Absolutely fabulous feel to this song....well done

[Rene Asologuitar]

Hi JP,

Always a pleasure hearing your songs!
Love and respect,
Rene

The return of the flannel! I'm sure i got the first part right

JP i really like your clones. Perhaps one day Harley Benton will clone you? Then we'd all get those great french vocals into our songs and your tender playing.
