Select language to translate this lyric
She wanted to play Cabaret
On a smuggling liner
Not in a Marseille bastringue
With sailors who ask her
A hotel room on the sea
Story of going around the world
Being the privateer's bride
While remaining a fucking blonde
Who would sing blue bayou
While dancing on the tables
While being able
To scare the thugs
And sing only you
While drinking from the glasses
A base of picon beer
Who makes her half crazy
She wanted to play Cabaret
Not the waitresses, the waiters
Yet God knows she didn't care
To have the heart and the hands dirty
She came from a big city in the north
Where the factories were closed
Where the sun is worth gold
She knew since she was a kid
She wanted to play Cabaret
Not the madelons of misfortune
I can tell you that she dreamed of it
Of a jazz band under moonlight
Of a hat slap with rhinestones
Like American stars
Not a neon sign on the terrace
And the accordion dragging along
