Black Trombone Lyrics

[Couplet 1]
Black trombone
Monotone
Le trombone
C'est joli
Tourbillonne
Gramophone
Et baillonne
Mon ennui

[Couplet 2]
Black trombone
Monotone
Autochtone
De la nuit
Dieu pardonne
La mignonne
Qui fredonne
Dans mon lit

[Couplet 3]
Black trombone
Monotone
Elle se donne
À demi
Nue, frissone
Déraisonne
M'empoisonne
M'envahit
[Couplet 4]
Black trombone
Monotone
C'est l'automne
De ma vie
Plus personne
Ne m'étonne
J'abandonne
C'est fini

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
