Lyrics
Duke Ellington, Duke Elling, Duke Elling
Duke Ellington
Ça me ramène à l’automne
De mil neuf cent quarante et one
Duke Ellington
J’avais quinze ans
Et j'écoutais Caravan
Monté sur un chameau
En forme de piano
Les amis de Clichy et de Levallois
S’en retournaient tous les soirs
Très tard de chez moi
Ils repartaient
En fredonnant Caravan
Montés sur des chameaux
En forme de bécanes
Et tout seul je restais
Sans toi ni personne
Autant de choses
Qui me ramènent à l’automne
De cette année
Mil neuf cent quarante et one
J’avais quinze ans
Et j'écoutais
Duke Ellington, Duke Elling
Duke Ellington
Lyrics translation
Duke Ellington, Duke Elling, Duke Elling
Duke Ellington
It takes me back to fall
Of one thousand nine hundred and forty-one
Duke Ellington
I was fifteen
And I was listening to Caravan
Mounted on a camel
Shaped like a piano
The Friends of Clichy and Levallois
Turned around every night
Very late from home
They were leaving.
Humming Caravan
Mounted on camels
In the form of snails
And all alone I remained
Without you or anyone
So many things
That take me back to the fall
Of this year
One thousand nine hundred forty-one
I was fifteen
And I was listening
Duke Ellington, Duke Elling
Duke Ellington
