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