מילים לשיר Yvette In English – Joni Mitchell

He met her in a French cafe
Sidelong glances
She slipped in sideways like a cat
She sticks in his mind like that
What a wary little stray!
Saying, "AvezYvette in English saying,
With her lips wrapped around a cigarette
"Please have this Little bit of instant bliss."
He's fumbling with her foreign tongue,
A loud mouth is stricken deaf and dumb
Reaching for words and drawing blanks
In a bistro on the left bank
Yvette in English saying,
"If I were a painter," Picasso said,
"I'd paint this girl from toe to head!"
"Please have this
Little bit of instant bliss."
Burgundy nocturne tips and spills They trot along nicely in the spreading stain
New chills, new thrills
For the old uphill battle
How did he wind up here again?
Walking and talking
Touched and scared
Uninsulated wires left bare
Yvette in English going,
"Please have this
Little bit of instant bliss."
What blew her like a leaf his way? (Up in the air and down to Earth)
First she flusters
Then she frays
So quick to question her own worth
As it falls like fireworks she curses it
Her cigarette burns her fingertips
Then sweetly in English she says, "Please have this,
Little bit of instant bliss."
Skittering like a cat on stoneHe sees her turn and walk away
What a wary little stray!
Her high heels clickingShe leaves him by the Seine alone
With the black water and the amber lights
And the bony bridge between left and right
Yvette in English saying,
"Please have this
Little bit of instant bliss.
