Charlotte Gainsbourg Sings "Le Chat Du Café Des Artistes" in 2009
IRM is the third studio album by French electropop singer Charlotte Gainsbourg, with all songs written and produced by Beck except "Le Chat Du Café Des Artistes" (written by Jean-Pierre Ferland). The album title was inspired by the French acronym for a MRI scanner. The title track was released as a free download on 9 October 2009. The album was mostly recorded at Beck's home studio in Los Angeles, California. The lead single is "Heaven Can Wait", a duet with Beck, and was released on 2 November.
Quand on est mort, c'est qu'on est mort
Quand on ne rit plus, c'est qu'on ne vit plus
Quand j'aurai coupé la ficelle
Mettez-moi dans une poubelle
Laissez-moi faisander un mois
Et de là jetez-moi au chat
Qu'il refuse ma rate et mon foie
Mais choisissez l'heure pour qu'il me mange le coeur
Que je reste encore avec vous
Sur vos épaules et vos genoux
Que je sois, puisqu'il faut qu'on existe
Le Chat du Café des Artistes
Et si le pain vient à manquer
Je serai là, et n'hésitez pas
Brisez-moi les pattes et le cou
Et puis mangez-moi à même le chat
Ce ne sera pas la première fois
Qu'on aura mangé un artiste
Et puis ils m'ont oubliée là
Lalalalalalalala
Comme ils ont oublié le chat
Comme ils oublieront ma tête et mes chansons
Ce ne sera pas la dernière fois
Que l'on n'oubliera un artiste
Et puis ils m'ont oubliée là
Lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalala

When we're dead it means we're dead
When we don't laugh anymore it means we don't live anymore
When I'll have cut the string
Put me in a trashcan
Let me rot for a month
And from there throw me to the cat
May he decline my spleen and my liver
But choose the right time so that he eats my heart
And that I stay with you
On your shoulders and you laps
May I be since we have to exist
The cat from the artists' café
And if the bread runs short
I'll be there and don't hesitate
Break my legs and my neck
And then eat me from the cat on
It wouldn't be the first time
An artist is eaten
When we're dead it means we're dead
When we don't laugh anymore it means we don't live anymore
When he cut the string
He was put in a trashcan
And then they forgot me there
la la la la la la la
The same way they forgot the cat
The same way they'll forget my face and my songs
It won't be the last time
An artist is forgotten
When we're dead it means we're dead
When we don't laugh anymore it means we don't live anymore
When he cut the string
He was put in a trashcan
And the they forgot me there
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
