Les Plaisirs Démodés
Charles Aznavour
Outdated Pleasures
In the familiar noise of the trendy club
With psychedelic lights and curious decor
We discover, seated on uncomfortable chairs
The latest pop records pushed to the max
That's where we met among those our age
You dressed as an Indian and me in a Mao collar
We've been coming back since as on a pilgrimage
Dancing in the smoke so thick you could cut it with a knife
Come, let's discover together the outdated pleasures
Your heart against mine despite the crazy rhythms
I want to feel my body embraced by yours
Let's dance cheek to cheek
Let's dance cheek to cheek
Come drowned in the crowd but disconnected from the noise
As if on earth there were only us
Let's slide with half-closed eyes until the end of the night
Let's dance cheek to cheek
Let's dance cheek to cheek
On the crowded dance floor, it's a rare sight
The dancers are in a trance and the music helping
They seem to be sacrificing to barbaric rhythms
To tunes of today often old as time
Strangers to each other even though dancing together
Couples struggle, it seems like for them
Music and love don't go hand in hand
In this darkness conducive to lovers
Come, let's discover together the outdated pleasures
Your heart against mine despite the crazy rhythms
I want to feel my body embraced by yours
Let's dance cheek to cheek
Let's dance cheek to cheek
Come drowned in the crowd but disconnected from the noise
As if on earth there were only us
Let's slide with half-closed eyes until the end of the night
Let's dance cheek to cheek
Let's dance cheek to cheek
SPOKEN:
Hold me even tighter
Don't worry about the others
We're good like this, my cheek against yours
Do you remember? It feels strange
Still, we kind of feel like we're dancing like our parents
In the end, maybe they weren't completely wrong
Times change, love remains
Come on, let's dance cheek to cheek
Or, or, or
