Les Gens (original)Les Gens (translation)
Belle Jeanette a fauté, je n’en dis pas davantage Belle Jeanette has faulted, I say no more
Car cela peut arriver à toutes les filles de son âge 'Cause it can happen to any girl her age
Mais lorsque sa mère apprit qu’elle allait être grand-mère But when her mother found out she was going to be a grandmother
Retentirent tous les cris d’une majuscule colère resounded all the cries of a capital anger
Vous parlez, ma bonne dame, de vice, d’immoralité You speak, my good lady, of vice, of immorality
Mais faites-vous donc un drame des amants que vous avez But do you make a drama of the lovers you have
Les gens qui ont bonne conscience dans les rues, le soir People with a clear conscience in the streets at night
Les gens qui ont bonne conscience ont souvent mauvaise mémoire People with a good conscience often have bad memories.
Et ceux qui se disent beaux parce qu’ils sont des idiots And those who call themselves beautiful because they are idiots
Et ceux qui se disent malins parce qu’ils ne sont que laids And those who call themselves smart because they are only ugly
Et ceux qui se disent heureux parce qu’ils sont des bigots And those who say they're happy because they're bigots
Et ceux qui se disent bons parce qu’ils sont des niais And those who call themselves good because they are fools
Ceux qui ont la tête haute parce qu’ils ont tout appris Those who hold their heads high because they have learned everything
Et qui ont l'âme sereine parce qu’ils n’ont rien compris And who have a serene soul because they have understood nothing
Les gens qui ont bonne conscience dans les rues, le soir People with a clear conscience in the streets at night
Les gens qui ont bonne conscience ont souvent mauvaise mémoirePeople with a good conscience often have bad memories.
