Gainsbourg and his Gainsborough
Have taken the ferry-boat
From their bed through the porthole
They watch the coast
They love each other and the crossing
Will last a whole year
They will overcome the curses
Until seventy

Sixty-nine
Erotic year
Sixty-nine
Erotic year

Gainsbourg and his Gainsborough
Are going to join Paris
They left behind them
The Thames and Chelsea
They love each other and the crossing
Will last a whole year
And may the gods bless them
Until seventy

Sixty-nine
Erotic year
Sixty-nine
Erotic year

May they love each other and the crossing
Will last a whole year
Who will forgive these whims
Until seventy

Sixty-nine
Erotic year
Sixty-nine
Erotic year
