Voodoo
b.o.g rell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Voodoo queen, you...
Voodoo queen, you put the devil in me
C'est une vieille histoire qui traîne encore
Comme un spectre revenu du pays des morts
À l'époque où sur les arbres poussaient d'étranges fruits
En Louisiane sur les bords du Mississippi
Ici vivait une belle créole, une voodoo mambo
Qui portait le doux nom de Marie Laveau
Elle envoûtait un homme ou exauçait un vœu
Contre un verre de rhum ou une pièce de deux
Voodoo queen, you...
Voodoo queen, you put the devil in me
Du fond du bayou jusqu'au fuckin' french quarter
Le nom de Marie Laveau impose le respect et la peur
On vient de tout le pays pour invoquer les esprits
Ou calmer le courroux de baron samedi
Des cheveux longs et sombres sur ses épaules faméliques
Autour du cou un collier d'os et des perles magiques
Un serpent à un œil, des grigris insolites
Chats noirs, chauve-souris, sortilèges maléfiques
Voodoo queen!
Voodoo queen!
Voodoo queen!
Voodoo queen!
Voodoo queen, you...
Voodoo queen, you put the devil in me
Un soir vint à elle un homme séduisant
Charmeur incontestable et maître du boniment
"Vivre sans toi à coup sûr j'en mourrai
Alors fais moi riche belle créole et je t'épouserai"
Marie envoûtée fit apparaître à ses pieds
Un million de dollars qu'il s'empressa d'empocher
Mais le soir du mariage le bougre avait fui
Laissant devant l'autel la demoiselle en furie
La sorcière enragée commença à trembler
Ses yeux à tourner et ses pieds à taper
De sa bouche grande ouverte s'échappa une fumée
Et dans un grand éclair tout fut terminé
Voodoo queen!
Voodoo queen!
Voodoo queen!
Voodoo queen!
On ne retrouva du bonhomme qu'un vieux tas d'oripeaux
Ni ses os ni son âme ne trouvèrent de repos
Et sur les bords du grand fleuve pour faire peur aux marmots
Se raconte encore l'histoire de Marie Laveau
Cette vieille histoire qui traîne encore
Comme un spectre revenu du pays des morts
Voodoo queen, mon amour
Envoûte-moi encore
Voodoo queen, mon amour
Voodoo queen, mon amour
Voodoo queen, mon amour
Envoûte-moi encore
Voodoo queen!
Voodoo queen!




Voodoo queen!
Voodoo queen!
