Somewhere in the city
There is a place
That looks like an island
Where the night rules
We hang out there in spleen
Behind the scenes
In divine madness
From the Songs of Maldoror
This is where I place my cross
Leaning on the counter
From the bar Zanzibar
And like a snail
My past on my back
I am casting off
I am leaving for Zanzibar
I am leaving for Zanzibar
I am leaving for Zanzibar
We meet up with friends
Among those lost in life
Complicity of one evening
Everyone finds their own mirror
At the bar Le Zanzibar
Between the shadow and the prey
The hunters remain silent
Everyone waits for Godot
Him to bring back the jackpot
Zanzibar, Zanzibar
I don't even know where Zanzibar is
Deep down, I don't care as much as a third and a quarter
At the bar Le Zanzibar
There are a few Cinderellas
Who sew up their rags
Who wait for their carriage
Far from their childhood nightmares
Artists of all kinds
The look on the door
Who are waiting for the talent
Or the improbable agent
Painters short of ideas
Who invented everything
Leaders without the struggle
Tenors without the counter C
Rimbaud without Verlaine
Stone without their Charden
And directors
Who remake the Human Beast
At the bar The Zanzibar
Swindled nobles
Who restore their pedigree
And kings without crowns
Who want to distort the situation
At the bar The Zanzibar
Magnificent losers
Who delight the whole clique
Crosus on the loose
Who cry for a maid
Zanzibar, Zanzibar
J 'I don't even know where Zanzibar is
Deep down, I don't care as much as a third and a quarter
At the bar Le Zanzibar
Resigned liars
Rediscover their truth
Nordic magicians
Get lost in their scarves
We carry around our solitude
Like a tired dog
And when she gets naked
We kick her
There are even musicians
Who come, casually,
br/>Play fanciful tunes
That make the masks fall
Until the end of the journey
They rock the shipwrecks
It's never too late
At bar The Zanzibar
Zanzibar, Zanzibar
I don't even know where Zanzibar is
Deep down, I don't even care a third or a quarter
But black for black, it's easier to be black in Zanzibar
