| Le long du quai Malaquais, Malaquais, un dragon dambulait, ambulait
| Along the quay Malaquais, Malaquais, a dragon strolled, strolled
|
| Rencontrant un avocat, il voit qu’il a les pieds plats
| Meeting a lawyer, he sees that he has flat feet
|
| N’ayant rien s’dire du tout, rien de rien, chacun passa son chemin
| Having nothing to say to each other, nothing at all, each went his own way
|
| Ah! | Ah! |
| Quelle journe! | What a day! |
| Ah! | Ah! |
| Quelle journe!
| What a day!
|
| La destine, quoi a tient? | Destiny, what holds? |
| On n’en sait rien, rien, rien
| We know nothing, nothing, nothing
|
| La destine, quoi a tient? | Destiny, what holds? |
| On n’en sait rien, rien
| We know nothing, nothing
|
| Une dame toute nue, toute nue
| A naked lady, naked
|
| De sa chambre est descendue, descendue
| From her room came down, down
|
| «Madame» lui dit l’avocat, «Vraiment, je n’vous comprends pas
| “Madam” said the lawyer to her, “Really, I don’t understand you
|
| Je vous trouve bien tourdie, tourdie de sortir sans parapluie»
| I find you very dizzy, dizzy to go out without an umbrella"
|
| Ah! | Ah! |
| Quelle journe! | What a day! |
| Ah! | Ah! |
| Quelle journe!
| What a day!
|
| La destine, quoi a tient? | Destiny, what holds? |
| On n’en sait rien, rien, rien
| We know nothing, nothing, nothing
|
| La destine, quoi a tient? | Destiny, what holds? |
| On n’en sait rien, rien
| We know nothing, nothing
|
| «Monsieur» lui rpondit-elle, pondit-elle
| "Sir" she answered him, she answered
|
| «Je vous trouve bien peu d’cervelle, peu d’cervelle
| "I find you very little brains, little brains
|
| Regardez d’plus prs mon nu, y’a rien y mettre de plus
| Take a closer look at my nude, there's nothing more to put in it
|
| Assez parl prsent, prsent, j’cours m’acheter une paire de gants»
| Enough talking now, now I'm off to buy myself a pair of gloves"
|
| Ah! | Ah! |
| Quelle journe! | What a day! |
| Ah! | Ah! |
| Quelle journe!
| What a day!
|
| La destine, quoi a tient? | Destiny, what holds? |
| On n’en sait rien, rien, rien
| We know nothing, nothing, nothing
|
| La destine, quoi a tient? | Destiny, what holds? |
| On n’en sait rien, rien
| We know nothing, nothing
|
| Elle s’engage sur la chausse, la chausse
| She step on the causeway, the causeway
|
| Un flic surgit courrouc, courrouc
| A cop comes up wrath, wrath
|
| Criant «Y'a d' quoi devenir fou, ma femme traverse hors des clous»
| Screamin' "Go crazy, my wife's going through the nails"
|
| Elle dit «Arrte-toi d’crier, toi d’crier! | She said “Stop screaming, you screaming! |
| Tu vas nous faire remarquer»
| You're gonna get us noticed"
|
| Ah! | Ah! |
| Quelle journe! | What a day! |
| Ah! | Ah! |
| Quelle journe!
| What a day!

|
| La dame faisant marche arrire, marche arrire
| The lady backing up, backing up
|
| Retrouva le militaire, militaire
| Found the military, military
|
| Qui toujours dambulait le long du quai Malaquais
| Who always strolled along the Quai Malaquais
|
| N’ayant rien s’dire du tout, rien de rien, ils fabriqurent un bambin | Having nothing to say to each other, nothing at all, they made a toddler |
