- Jimmy Buffett Buffet Hotel 歌詞
- Jimmy Buffett
- Well the train slipped into the station
A worn out steel blue soul
A relic from colonial days
When the French were still in control
Lorsque les
Francais ont ete en controle
It's an outpost in transition
Where the faithful in the bar
Know from the whistle and the squeaking wheels
That the next stop is
Dakar La prochaine etape etait
Dakar Talk on the radio
Talk on the street
Talk of men with money loco from the heat
Talk about the rail band
Pickin up the beat
We lit that great reunion
With the headlights on the jeep
And there's history on that jukebox
Where the spies and scoundrels dwell
It was the place to go in
Bamako Direction
Buffet Hotel
Direction
Buffet Hotel
Now we're lost in the
Sahara Four hours north of
Tombouctou
Lookin' for a nomad who knows
Or maybe some wandering
Jew Allons a
Essakane,
Syndou (Get us to Essakana, Syndou)
Then we heard that
Tuareg combo
We had come so very far
And we were welcomed out of history
By the wind, the sand and the stars
J'ai commence a le percevoir
Sand in the couscous
Sand in the wine
There was sand in my guitar case
Stories in my mind
Machine guns on the hilltop
Camels in my tent
Buried in a sandstorm
As the music came and went
Well we crawled out of that desert
And the storm erased our tracks
The Sahara showed her heart to us
And then she took it back
Well we made it back to
Bamako Before that last call bell
We bought rounds for all our newfound friends
We owned Buffet
Hotel Nous avons eu
Buffet Hotel
I recall dipomats
And hookers
I saw strangers diggin' wells
And for that one great night in
Bamako We owned
Buffet Hotel
