I Still Have Faith In You / Don't Shut Me Down

Don't Shut Me Down

Natural Order

"Belleville Rendez-vous" is a song from the animated film Les Triplettes de Belleville (2003), with music by Benoît Charest and lyrics by Sylvain Chomet. It was one of the first electroswing songs that peeked into the mainstream via the movies... and, quite frankly, a gem of a song that unfairly lost the Academy Award for best Original Song to the musical equivalent of Mayonnaise.

So here's my rendition of a song that deserves more than it got!

English Translation:

I don't want to finish my days in Timbuktu
(Timbuktu)
Skin drawn by machines with nails
Me, I want to be crumpled, crumpled threefold
Crumpled like a Belleville triplet
 
I don't want to finish my life in Acapulco
(Acapulco)
Dancing stiffly with gigolos
Me, I want to be twisted, twisted threefold
Balanced like a Belleville triplet
 
(Come on girls, come on)
Swinging Belleville rendezvous
Marathon dancing doum dilou
Voodoo Cancan, taboo brooms
In Belleville swinging rendezvous
 
I don't want to finish my life in Singapore
(Singapore)
Playing at the disco, eating petits fours*
Me, I want to be an idiot, three times the idiot
Warped like a Belleville triplet
 
I don't want to finish my life in Honolulu
(Honolulu)
Singing like a bird, it is no longer done
I want my voice to be broken, broken threefold
Swinging like a Belleville triplet
 
Swinging Belleville rendezvous
Marathon dancing doum dilou
Voodoo Cancan, taboo brooms
In Belleville swinging rendezvous
 
I'd like to finish my life in Kathmandu
(Kathmandu)
It's much sweeter to make rhymes with "ou"
But I want to be covered with frost, covered threefold
Swinging like a Belleville triplet
 
 
Swinging Belleville rendezvous
Marathon dancing doum dilou
Voodoo Cancan, taboo brooms
In Belleville swinging rendezvous
 
Swinging Belleville rendezvous
Marathon dancing doum dilou
Voodoo Cancan, taboo brooms
In Belleville swinging rendezvous
