One of my favorites of Celine's french canon - sorry the song is incomplete!
Sur Le Meme Bateau
"On The Same Boat"
On the boarding footbridges
Coaches or first classes, back or front
We bring the luggage, from quays on board
We fill in the hold with steel, with swear words
Only waiting for a sign, from a captain, one word
From cabins to kitchens
On the same boat
A finger of champagne, a toast to the departure
In all the holds, the penal section and the hours of shifts
Society receptions, waltzes or tangos
To shadows, to sorrow, a bad alcohol
While waiting for the ports of call, Athens or Macau
Under the same stars
On the same boat
Under the fire of the machines, sailor suffers
Near the swimming pool, the beautiful and the handsome
From engine rooms, to jewel living rooms
Here the sweat, the biggest luxury upstairs
But comes a storm, a wave higher than the others
All the souls are worried
On the same boat
When the stars take part of it on the huge ocean
When everything becomes so fragile to the elements
No rank, no class, no jail workers, no beauty
The same distress for everyone
On the same boat, on the same boat
