Le France

When I think of the old English woman
Which was called the Queen Mary
Stranded so far from its cliffs
On a California dock

When I think of the old English woman
I envy the sunken wrecks
Long-haul passengers looking for a dream
And have not seen their country again

Never call me France again
France has let me down
Never call me France again
This is my last wish

I was a gigantic boat
Capable of crossing a thousand years
I was a giant I was almost
Almost as strong as the ocean

I was a gigantic boat
I carried away thousands of lovers
I was France, what's left of it?
A dead body for cormorants

Never call me France again
France has let me down
Never call me France again
This is my last wish

When I think of the old English woman
Which was called the Queen Mary
I wouldn't want to end up like her
On a California dock

Than the largest warship
Have the courage to sink me
Ass turned in Saint-Nazaire
Breton country where I was born

Never call me France again
France has let me down
Never call me France again
This is my last wish
