"Malaise En Malaisie" lyrics - THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER

THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER
"Malaise En Malaisie"
(Music by Alain Chamfort; French Lyrics by Serge Gainsbourg; English Lyrics by Alan Paul)

Gentle one
Malaise En Malaisie
Secure a cure to see
this favor, won't you send me
Two might be in love in Malaisie
It's so bittersweet, Malaise
haunting me
So inseparable, Malaise En Malaisie

Requited love said adieu
Asian eyes rendezvous
And my heart beats unanswered
Love burns fast, love burns true
Mon amour I need you
Come to me my entrancer
Long ago we vowed this love unsung
Now I write so perplexed and numb

Gentle one
Malaise En Malaisie
Secure a cure to see
this favor, won't you send me
Two might be in love in Malaisie
It's so bittersweet, Malaise
haunting me
So inseparable, Malaise En Malaisie

A silent cry cools the night
Jungles hide you from sight
Indonesia confesses
My passion calls out your name
Fever runs through my brain
Like a maze of oppression
Chances are you'll say
"Too late, au revoir"
Still I write this prayer from Malasia

Gentle one Malaise En Malaisie
Secure a cure to see
this favor, won't you send me
Two might be in love in Malaisie
It's so bittersweet, Malaise
haunting me
So inseparable, Malaise En Malaisie
