For a party at five
She puts on Francis Poulenc 
Some Henri Dutilleux 
When she rereads Bourdieu 
The night of the “Chandeleur”*
It's some Gustav Mahler 
Allessandro Scarlatti 
For correcting papers 

She's a Deutsche Grammophon girl 
At first it shocked us 
She masters Telemann 
More than François Feldman
A Harmonia Mundi** girl 
At first it surprised us 
She goes to the pool less 
Than the Aubazine Abbey 

We kissed 
During an etude in D 
Found some common points 
During a harpsichord piece 
The moving memory
Of this first movement 
Has suffered as time has passed 
Because of some unfortunate variations 

She's a Deutsche Grammophon girl 
At first it shocked us 
She masters Furtwrangler 
More than Jean Pierre Mader
A Harmonia Mundi girl 
At first it surprised us 
She goes to Disneyland less 
Than the cloisters of Marmande 

One relives some loves 
While listening to the Cure 
Some vacations in the Catalanes 
Thanks to Duran Duran 
Some pale Englishwomen 
With Joy Division
But I only think again about her 
During Haendel's Messie 

For a party at five
She puts on Francis Poulenc 
Some Henri Dutilleux 
When she rereads Bourdieu 


*Le Chandeleur (Candlemas) is a holiday that occurs on February second, and is similar to the U.S.'s groundhog day. It represents the passing winter and has a great amount of spirituality and superstition associated with it. 
** Harmonia Mundi was one of the earliest producers of gramophones.
***"Deutsche Grammophon" is a brand and should not be translated.

  1. Good, but why did you translate Deutsch Grammophon ? It's brand.
