Serge Gainsbourg - Requiem pour un con - Requiem for a dumb ass


Listen to the organs
They're playing for you
It's a terrible song
I hope you like it
It's pretty beautiful, no
It's a requiem for a dumb ass

I composed it especially for you
In your memory of wicked man
It's a nice theme,
Don't you think, no
Similar to yourself
Poor dumb ass

There are the organs
That are starting again
You need to learn by heart this song
That you don't even have
An hesitation
On the requiem for a dumb ass

What you look at me
You don't appreciate it
But what is it in there
That you don't like
For me it's dido
That you like it or not
I replay it for you anyway
Poor dumb ass

Listen to the organs
They're playing for you
It's a terrible song
I hope you like it
It's pretty beautiful, no
It's a requiem for a dumb ass
I composed it especially for you
In your memory of wicked man
On your pale face
On the prison walls
I'll write myself: "Poor dumb ass"
