Joe le taxi Vanessa Paradis 'Joe le taxi' is a song about a taxi driver, Joe, who works in Paris. The song emphasizes the notion that Joe seems to know all of the French capital including the whereabouts of all the little bars, all of the Parisian streets, the Seine, and bridges. The song's lyrics suggest that Joe enjoys drinking rum, has a passion for Latin music and his saxophone, and dreams of going to the Amazon. Spanish-Cuban bandleader Xavier Cugat and Peruvian exotica singer Yma Súmac are also referenced in the lyrics: Joe le taxi Y va pas partout Y marche pas au soda Son saxo jaune Connait toutes les rues par coeur Tous les p'tits bars Tous les coins noirs Et la Seine Et ses ponts qui brillent Dans sa caisse La musique a Joe C'est la rumba Le vieux rock au mambo Joe le taxi C'est sa vie Le rhum au mambo Embouteillage Il est comme ca Rhum et mambo Joe - Joe - Joe Dans sa caisse La musique a Joe resonne C'est la rumba Le vieux rock au mambo bidon Vas-y Joe Vas-y Joe Vas-y fonce Dans la nuit vers l'amazone Joe le taxi Et Xavier Cugat Joe le taxi Et Yma Sumac Joe - Joe - Joe Joe le taxi C'est sa vie Le rhum au mambo Embouteillage Joe le taxi Et les Mariachis Joe le taxi Et le cha-cha-chi Joe le taxi Et le cha-cha-chi Vas-y Joe Vas-y fonce Dans la nuit vers l'amazone Salut! Thanks for the interest. Here is the translation: Joe the taxi (Joe the cab driver) He doesn't go everywhere He doesn't work on soda His yellow sax (saxophone is a metaphor for his yellow cab) Knows all of the streets by heart All of the little bars All of the dark corners And the Seine And its bridges that shine In his car Joe's music It's the 'rumba' From old 'rock' to 'mambo' Joe the taxi It's his life The rum with 'mambo' Traffic jam He's like that Joe - Joe - Joe In his car Joe's music resonates It's the 'rumba' From old 'rock' to phony 'mambo' Go Joe Go Joe Speed along In the night towards the Amazon Joe the taxi And Xavier Cugat (famous Cuban musician) Joe the taxi And Yma Sumac (musician again) Joe - Joe - Joe Joe the taxi It's his life The rum with 'mambo' Traffic jam Joe the taxi And the Mariachis Joe the Taxi And the 'cha-cha-chi' Go Joe Speed along In the night towards the Amazon Joe Le Taxi /Brazilian Portuguese Translation.

Joe o taxista Ele não vai em todos os lugares Ele não trabalha com o Soda Seu taxi amarelo Conhece todas as ruas de cor Todos os pequenos bares Todas as esquinas escuras E o rio Sena E suas pontes que brilham Em seu cais A música de Joe É a rumba Do velho rock ao mambo Joe o taxista É sua vida O rum ao mambo Engarrafamento Esta acostumado como isso Rumba e Mambo Joe - Joe - Joe. Em seu cais A música de Joe ressoa É a rumba Do velho rock ao mambo de lata Vai lá Joe Vai lá Joe Va lá une Na noite para o Amazonas Joe o taxista E o Xavier Cugat Joe o taxista E a Yma Sumac Joe - Joe - Joe Joe o taxista É sua vida A corrida com o mambo Engarrafamento Joe o taxista E os Mariachis Joe o taxista E o tcha-tcha-tchi Joe o taxista E o tcha-tcha-tchi Va lá Joe Va ao longe Na noite para o Amazonas.
