Suzanne English Lyrics (First verse & chorus)
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
French Lyrics (First Verse & Chorus)
Suzanne t'emmène écouter les sirènes
Elle te prend par la main Pour passer une nuit sans fin
Tu sais qu'elle est à moitié folle C'est pourquoi tu veux rester
Sur un plateau d'argent Elle te sert du thé au jasmin
Et quand tu voudrais lui dire Tu n'as pas d'amour pour elle
Elle t'appelle dans ses ondes Et laisse la mer répondre
Que depuis toujours tu l'aimes
Tu veux rester à ses côtés
Maintenant, tu n'as plus peur
De voyager les yeux fermés
Une flamme brûle dans ton cœur
Suzanne Italian Lyrics (1st verse & chorus)
Nel suo posto in riva al fiume
Suzanne ti ha voluto accanto
e ora ascolti andar le barche
ora vuoi dormirle accanto
si lo sai che lei è pazza
ma per questo sei con lei
e ti offre il the e le arance
che ha portato dalla Cina
e proprio mentre stai per dirle
che non hai niente da offrirle
lei è già sulla tua onda
e fa il fiume ti risponda
che da sempre siete amanti.
E tu vuoi viaggiarle insieme
vuoi viaggiarle insieme ciecamente
perchè sai che le hai toccato il corpo
il suo corpo perfetto con la mente.
Russian Lyrics (1st verse & chorus)
Сюзанна
Сюзанна приведёт тебя в своё жилище у реки
Услышишь, как идут суда, и сможешь провести с ней ночь
И не в своём уме она, но это держит тебя здесь
Где чай и апельсины - всё прямо из Китая, и
Когда ты хочешь ей сказать, что нет любви - вам разделить
Она всё примет на своей волне, и река ответит
''Ты любил её всегда''
И ты пойдёшь за ней, пойдёшь блаженным и слепым
Потому что ты ей веришь
Ведь с твоим прекрасным телом
Уже соприкоснулась её мысль.
Croatian Lyrics (hrvatski)
Suzanne te vodi do svog mjesta uz rijeku
Možeš čuti kako brodovi prolaze
Možeš provesti noć pored nje
I znaš da je napola luda
Ali zato ti je i drago što si s njom
Nudi te čajem i narančama
stiglima iz daleke Kine
I baš kad joj zaustiš reći
da je ne možeš voljeti
Ona te ponese na svojim valovima
i rijekom progovori
da ćeš uvijek biti njen dragi
I želiš putovati s njom
želiš putovati slijep
i znaš da će ti vjerovati
jer si dotaknuo njeno savršeno tijelo svojom dušom
