Mon pôte le Gitan(original) |
Mon pote le gitan c´est un gars curieux |
Une gueule toute noire, des carreaux tout bleus |
Il reste des heures sans dire un seul mot |
Assis près du poêle au fond du bistrot |
C´gars-là une roulotte s´promène dans sa tête |
Et quand elle voyage jamais ne s´arrête |
Des tas d´paysages sortent de ses yeux |
Mon pote le gitan c´est un gars curieux |
Mon pote le gitan, c´est pas un marrant |
Et dans notre bistrot personne le comprend |
Comme tous ces gars-là il a sa guitare |
Une guitare crasseuse qui vous colle le noir |
Quand y s´met à jouer la vieille roulotte |
Galope dans sa tête, les joueurs de belote |
S´arrêtent et plus rien… on a mal en dedans |
Mon pote le gitan c´est pas un marrant |
Mon pote le gitan un jour est parti |
Et Dieu seul sait où il ballade sa vie |
Ce type là était un grand musicien |
Ça j´en étais sûr, moi je l´sentais bien |
Le tôlier m´a dit qu´on est venu l´chercher |
Un grand music-hall voulait l´acheter |
Mon pot´ le gitan il a refusé |
Un haussement d´épaules et il s´est taillé? |
J´ai eu l´impression de perdre un ami |
Et pourtant c´gars-là ne m´a jamais rien dit |
Mais il m´a laissé un coin de sa roulotte |
Et dans ma petite tête j´ai du rêve qui trotte |
Sa drôle de musique en moi est restée |
Quand je pense à lui, m´arrive de chanter |
Toi sacré gitan qui sentait l´cafard |
Au fond ta musique était pleine d´espoir |
(translation) |
My friend the gypsy is a curious guy |
An all-black face, all-blue squares |
He goes hours without saying a single word |
Sitting by the stove in the back of the bistro |
This guy, a trailer is walking around in his head |
And when she travels never stops |
Lots of landscapes come out of his eyes |
My friend the gypsy is a curious guy |
My friend the gypsy, it is not a funny |
And in our bistro nobody understands it |
Like all these guys he has his guitar |
A grimy guitar that sticks the black on you |
When it starts to play the old trailer |
Galloping in his head, belote players |
Stop and nothing... it hurts inside |
My friend the gypsy is not a funny |
My homie the gypsy one day is gone |
And only God knows where he wanders his life |
This guy was a great musician |
I was sure of that, I felt good about it |
The sheet metal worker told me that we came to get him |
A big music hall wanted to buy it |
My friend the gypsy he refused |
A shrug and he's cut? |
I felt like I lost a friend |
And yet that guy never said anything to me |
But he left me a corner of his trailer |
And in my little head I have dreams running around |
His funny music in me stayed |
When I think of him, I happen to sing |
You holy gypsy who smelled of cockroaches |
Deep down your music was full of hope |
