Tonton Nestor Uncle Nestor
Vous eûtes tort You were wrong
Je vous le dis tout net I tell you straight
Vous avez mis You put
La zizanie Discord
Aux noces de Jeannett' At Jeannett's wedding
Je vous l’avoue I confess to you
Tonton, vous vous Uncle, you
Comportâtes comme un behave like a
Mufle achevé Muzzle completed
Rustre fieffé arrogant boor
Un homme du commun A common man
Quand la fiancée When the bride
Les yeux baissés Eyes down
Des larmes pleins les cils Tears fill the eyelashes
S’apprêtait à was getting ready to
Dire «Oui da !» Say “Yes da!”
A l’officier civil To the civil officer
Qu’est-c'qui vous prit What took you
Vieux malappris old ill-learned
D’aller, sans retenue To go, without restraint
Faire un pinçon Make a pinch
Cruel en son Cruel in sound
Eminence charnue fleshy eminence
Se retournant turning around
Incontinent Incontinent
Ell' souffleta, flic-flac She sighed, flic-flac
L’garçon d’honneur The groomsman
Qui, par bonheur who, fortunately
Avait un' tête à claqu' Had a 'head bang'
Mais au lieu du But instead of
«Oui» attendu “Yes” expected
Ell' s'écria: «Maman» She exclaimed: "Mom"
Et l’mair' lui dit And the mayor said to him
«Non, mon petit "No, my little one
Ce n’est pas le moment» It is not the moment"
Quand la fiancée When the bride
Les yeux baissés Eyes down
D’une voix solennell' In a solemn voice
S’apprêtait à was getting ready to
Dire «Oui da !» Say “Yes da!”
Par-devant l’Eternel Before the Lord
Voila mechef Here is mechef
Que, derechef What, again
Vous osâtes porter You dare to wear
Votre fichue Your damn
Patte crochue hooked paw
Sur sa rotondité On its roundness
Se retournant turning around
Incontinent Incontinent
Elle moucha le nez She blew her nose
D’un enfant d’ch?ur Of an altar boy
Qui, par bonheur who, fortunately
Etait enchifrené was entangled
Mais au lieu du But instead of
«Oui» attendu “Yes” expected
De sa pauvre voix lass' In his poor weary voice
Au tonsuré To the tonsured
Désemparé Distraught
Elle a dit «Merde», hélas She said "Shit", alas
Quoiqu’elle usât Although she used
Qu’elle abusât That she abused
Du droit d'être fessue Right to be spanked
En la pinçant By pinching her
Mauvais plaisant bad joke
Vous nous avez déçus You disappointed us
Aussi, ma foi Also, my faith
La prochain' fois The next time
Qu’on mariera Jeannett' That we will marry Jeannett'
On s’pass’ra d’vous We will do without you
Tonton, je vous Uncle, I
Je vous le dit tout netI tell you straight
