Christophe Mae
l art et la manire
Select language to translate this lyric
Say out loud what everyone is thinking quietly
I don't know what I prefer,
Even if ridicule doesn't kill
Sometimes it's better to keep quiet .
You need know-how, art and manners
You need know-how, art and manners.
Let the attitude not be a an end in itself
To get out of the ordinary,
A zest of good manners sometimes
Wouldn't cost more.
You need know-how, art and manner
You need know-how, art and manner.
Question of tact and respect
For contact and tact.
A paradise on velvet
A la Dandy à la Gainsbourg.
A question of class and quality
For daring and idleness.
Keep smiling, looking detached
Whatever one can say and provoke.
You need know-how, art and manners!
