La Complainte Du Phoque En Alaska (english Translation) Lyrics - Moxy Fruvous

by Beau Dommages 

This song was originally written in French. 

Believe me or not 

Somewhere in Alaska 

There's a seal who's feeling glum 

His love has left 

To make her living 

In a circus in the United States 

When the seal is alone 

He looks at the sunlight 

Falling softly on the ice 

He thinks of the States 

Crying softly 

That's how it is when your love has left you 

It's not worth it, to leave those you love 

To go and bounce a ball on your nose 

It makes children laugh, but that doesn't last long 

No one will laugh when the children have grown. 

When the seal feels down 

He looks at his fur that shines 

Like the streets of New York after the rain 

He dreams of Chicago 

And of Marilyn Monroe 

He wants to see his love do her show 

It's only a story 

Don't think me conceited 

But sometimes I get the feeling it's me 

Who is there, sitting on the ice 

My face in my hands 

My love is gone, and I'm sad 

It's not worth it, to leave those you love 

To go and bounce a ball on your nose 

It makes children laugh, but that doesn't last long 

No one will laugh when the children have grown.
