Moxy Fruvous La Complainte Du Phoque En Alaska (english)
by Beau Dommages This song was originally written in French. Believe me or not Somewhere in Alaska There's a seal who's feeling glum His love has left To make her living In a circus in the United States When the seal is alone He looks at the sunlight Falling softly on the ice He thinks of the States Crying softly That's how it is when your love has left you It's not worth it, to leave those you love To go and bounce a ball on your nose It makes children laugh, but that doesn't last long No one will laugh when the children have grown. When the seal feels down He looks at his fur that shines Like the streets of New York after the rain He dreams of Chicago And of Marilyn Monroe He wants to see his love do her show It's only a story Don't think me conceited But sometimes I get the feeling it's me Who is there, sitting on the ice My face in my hands My love is gone, and I'm sad It's not worth it, to leave those you love To go and bounce a ball on your nose It makes children laugh, but that doesn't last long No one will laugh when the children have grown.
