Oh sorry, my explanations were not clear. We pronounce "bite" (in French, the jargon word for penis) quite as "beat" in English and not as "to bite" (as "this dog bite me"). You're totally right, gracefulstalker. I spoke about the way it is written (B-I-T-E). And this is "LA bite" (feminine word) and not "LE bite" in french. So the word in the song is "beat" (music). In France (and Belgium too), we often use english word like this one. I am absolutely sure of it :) |

No, the slang word for penis is "bite" (as your verb "to bite"). "Le beat" simply means "the beat". No mystery at all about this sentence :) Then, "flasher" could mean "to fall in love at first sight" but there is another meaning. You could use "flasher" when you're high on crack or something else (not necesarely) and you have hallucinations. You know : "est-ce un éléphant rose là en bas ou est-ce moi qui flashe ?" ("Is this a pink elephant or am I just "flashing" ?") "Assasiner un de ces airs" means... to sing in an awfully way a melody (a famous one I guess, "un de ces" means one of thoses timeless melodies but I'm not sure). You know, when you are drunk and you try to sing a song (very loudly most of the time) but the result is awfull ? And finally, "la tombe de Gainsbourg" is his grave. "Tombe" is "Tombeau", exactly the same meaning. |
