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.
(Obrigado LetsPlayItAgain!)

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.
