Dans le port d'Amsterdam

Dans le port d'Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui chantent
Les rves qui les hantent
Au large d'Amsterdam
Dans le port d'Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui dorment
Comme des oriflammes
Le long des berges mornes
Dans le port d'Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui meurent
Pleins de bire et de drames
Aux premires lueurs
Mais dans le port d'Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui naissent
Dans la chaleur paisse
Des langueurs ocanes

Dans le port d'Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui mangent
Sur des nappes trop blanches
Des poissons ruisselants
Ils vous montrent des dents
A croquer la fortune
A dcroisser la lune
A bouffer des haubans
Et a sent la morue
Jusque dans le coeur des frites
Que leurs grosses mains invitent
A revenir en plus
Puis se lvent en riant
Dans un bruit de tempte
Referment leur braguette
Et sortent en rotant

Dans le port d'Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui dansent
En se frottant la panse
Sur la panse des femmes
Et ils tournent et ils dansent
Comme des soleils crachs
Dans le son dchir
D`un accordon rance
Ils se tordent le cou
Pour mieux s`entendre rire
Jusqu' ce que tout coup
L'accordon expire
Alors le geste grave
Alors le regard fier
Ils ramnent leur batave
Jusqu'en pleine lumire
Dans le port d'Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui boivent
Et qui boivent et reboivent
Et qui reboivent encore
Ils boivent la sant
Des putains d'Amsterdam
De Hambourg ou d'ailleurs
Enfin ils boivent aux dames
Qui leur donnent leur joli corps
Qui leur donnent leur vertu
Pour une pice en or
Et quand ils ont bien bu
Se plantent le nez au ciel
Se mouchent dans les toiles
Et ils pissent comme je pleure
Sur les femmes infidles
Dans le port d'Amsterdam
Dans le port d'Amsterdam

In the Port of Amsterdam  (English)

‪in the port of amsterdam‬
there are sailors who sing
of the dreams that haunt them
off the shores of amsterdam
in the port of amsterdam
there are sailors who‪ sleep‬
like flags that are draped
along the dark banks

in the port of amsterdam
there are sailors who‪ die‬
full of dramas and beer
in the first morning light
but ‪in the port of amsterdam‬
there are sailors born
in the thick heat
of ocean's languors

in the port of amsterdam
there are sailors who eat 
on overblanched tablecloths
dripping wet fish
they bare their teeth
that would chew up fortune
and swallow the moon
gobble the ship's shrouds
 
and there's a smell of cod (or whore=argot)
right through the heart of the fries
which their big hands invite
to bring back some more
then they rise up laughing
with the sound of tempest
zip up their flies
again and leave belching
 
‪in the port of amsterdam‬
there are sailors who‪ dance‬
rubbing their bellies 
against women's bellies
they turn and dance
like suns spat out
to the torn up sound
of a rancid accordeon
 they twist their necks 
to better hear themselves laugh
until all of sudden
the accordion dies
then with a serious gesture
with a proud look
they bring their boat (whore)
to the full light

in the port of amsterdam
there are sailors who drink
and they drink and they drink
and ‪they drink‬ some more
they drink to the health
of the whores of amsterdam
or Hamburg or elsewhere 
and last they drink to the ladies

who give them their pretty bodies
who give them their virtue
for a piece of gold
and when they're pretty drunk
they lie face up under sky
blow their nose in the stars
and piss as i cry
over unfaithful woman

in the port of amsterdam…
‪in the port of amsterdam‬...

יום הולדת לפצע 
נעשה לו מסיבה
בלונים נקשור לפצע
נאחל לו שיגדל
קורבנות נקריב לפצע
יתגדל ויתקדש

יום הולדת

כל השמשות הכבדות בעיניי
כל ענני העולם בעיניי
כל הימים
האגמים
הנחלים
הביצות 
והפלגים
הדגים העצובים 
מתנפצים כחלום בלהות בעיניי

אבן אדפוק בראשי הסגול
שתצא שתצא לי מהראש

Tom Waits (on Jim Wilson): "Wilson, he's always playing with time. I heard a recording recently of crickets slowed way down. It sounds like a choir, it sounds like angel music. Something sparkling, celestial with full harmony and bass parts - you wouldn't believe it. It's like a sweeping chorus of heaven, and it's just slowed down, they didn't manipulate the tape at all. So I think when Wilson slows people down, it gives you a chance to watch them moving through space. And there's something to be said for slowing down the world."
