Salima dans le tramway
Avec son plus joli boubou
Bleu comme le ciel de Cotonou
Là-bas où c'est toujours l'été
Salima dans le tramway
Regarde la pluie sans même la voir
Elle est ailleurs dans une histoire
Qu'elle arrête pas de se raconter
Une histoire où elle est gazelle
Au grand soleil, elle se pavane
Quand le lion bondit devant elle
Et elle s'enfuit dans la savane
Elle court, elle crie et elle appelle
Son amoureux, son beau guerrier
Qui vient comme s'il avait des ailes
Risquer sa vie pour la sauver
Où va-t-elle? (2x)
La gazelle dans le tramway
Qui glisse sur les pavés mouillés
Sous le ciel triste de Bruxelles
Où va-t-elle? (2x)
Elle irait bien plus vite à pied
Sautant par-dessus les tramways
Sous le ciel triste de Bruxelles
Mais Salima n'est pas pressée
Elle va là où l'ennui l'attend
Place de Brouker elle descend
Elle entre dans un cabaret
Les clients qui s'impatientaient
Scandent son nom, elle apparaît
La voilà nue, et tristement
Elle sourit pour quelques francs
Salima danse les yeux fermés
Pour ne pas voir les sales regards
Des lions qui veulent la dévorer
Sauve-moi avant qu'il ne soit trop tard
Mais la prière à son guerrier
N'a que des rires pour écho
On l'a renvoyé sans papiers
Les temps sont durs pour les héros
Salima dans le tramway
Avec son plus joli boubou
Bleu comme le ciel de Cotonou
Là-bas où c'est toujours l'été
Où va-t-elle?(2x)
La gazelle dans le tramway
Qui glisse sur les pavés mouillés
Sous le ciel triste de Bruxelles
Où va-t-elle? (2x)
Elle irait bien plus vite à pied
Sautant par-dessus les tramways
Sous le ciel triste de Bruxelles
Où va-t-elle? (2x)
Elle irait bien plus vite à pied
Où va-t-elle? (2x)
Salima dans le tramway.

Salvatore Adamo, nato Salvatore Adamo il 10 novembre 1943 a Castellammare di Stabia (Italia), è un cantautore italo-belga di grande successo internazionale. Dopo aver trascorso la sua infanzia in Belgio, dove si trasferì con la famiglia all'età di cinque anni, Adamo ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '60, conquistando rapidamente il pubblico belga con il suo stile melodico e le sue canzoni d'amore. Nel 1968 ha partecipato al Festival di Sanremo con "Il mio canto", ottenendo un grande successo in Italia. Adamo è noto per brani come "Tu vuo' fa l'americano", "Se telefonando" e "Marianne", che hanno raggiunto la cima delle classifiche in Europa e oltre.
