Pauvre Georges-Andrè(original) |
Quand Georges André revient de la chasse, |
Sa sœur aînée fait la grimace, |
Sa bonne maman quitte son canevas. |
Dans leur logement, plus rien ne va. |
Les petits enfants, dans leur litière, |
Ne savent plus dire leurs prières |
Et le Bon Dieu, du haut des cieux, |
Espère qu’un jour ça ira mieux. |
On voit aussi, dans la cuisine, |
Sa mère penchée sur la bassine. |
Que peut-elle bien encore laver |
Qu’elle n’a pas encore achevé? |
Elle nettoie sa gibecière |
Qu’elle transforme en souricière. |
La maison sera dans de beaux draps |
Mais après ça, y aura plus de rats. |
Un certain soir, pris de panique, |
Notre ami part pour Salonique. |
Il est reçu par le Sultan |
Mais comme il sue, |
C’est insultant. |
Un gros balourd d’eunuque l’enferme |
A double tour dans une ferme |
Où l’on fabrique du reblochon |
Avec des tripes de cochon. |
Quand il reviendra de sa croisade, |
Il retrouvera tout le monde maussade, |
Sa pipe en terre |
Boudant un peu, |
Toutes ses affaires passées au bleu, |
Le garde-manger sur les armoires, |
La bonne changée en bête noire, |
Le gaz coupé, le puits à sec, |
Occupé par un drôle de mec, |
Le gaz coupé le puits à sec, |
Occupé par un drôle de mec. |
Eh bien qu’est-ce que vous faites-là vous dans ce puits? |
Il ne faut pas rester là. |
Il faut partir. |
Ce n’est pas une maison d’habitation, |
C’est mon puits ! |
Allez, allez, partez ! |
Pauvre Georges André. |
C’est fini. |
(translation) |
When Georges André returns from hunting, |
Her older sister grimaces, |
His good mother leaves her canvas. |
In their accommodation, nothing is going right. |
The little children, in their litter, |
Can't say their prayers anymore |
And the Good Lord, from the height of heaven, |
Hope one day it will get better. |
We also see, in the kitchen, |
His mother bent over the basin. |
What else can she wash away |
That she hasn't finished yet? |
She cleans her game bag |
Which she turns into a mousetrap. |
The house will be in good shape |
But after that, there will be more rats. |
One evening, panicked, |
Our friend is leaving for Salonika. |
He is received by the Sultan |
But as he sweats, |
It's insulting. |
A big clumsy eunuch locks him in |
Double tower on a farm |
Where they make Reblochon |
With pig guts. |
When he returns from his crusade, |
He will find everyone sullen, |
His clay pipe |
sulking a bit, |
All his stuff faded to blue, |
The pantry on the cabinets, |
The maid turned into a black beast, |
The gas cut, the well dried up, |
Occupied by a funny guy, |
The gas cut the well dry, |
Occupied by a funny guy. |
Well what are you doing in that well? |
You don't have to stay there. |
We have to go. |
This is not a dwelling house, |
This is my well! |
Go, go, go! |
Poor Georges André. |
It's finish. |
