Bref(original) |
| La fille, pour son plaisir |
| Choisit le matelot |
| L’eau voulut des navires |
| Pour voguer à son eau |
| L’homme choisit la guerre |
| Pour jouer au soldat |
| Et partit pour la faire |
| Sur l’air de «Ca ira» |
| Bref, chacun possédait |
| Ce qu’il avait souhaité |
| Moi, je voulais un homme |
| Ni trop laid, ni trop beau |
| Qui promènerait l’amour |
| Sur les coins de ma peau |
| Un homme qui, au petit matin |
| Me prendrait par la main |
| Pour m’emmener croquer |
| Un rayon de soleil |
| Moi, je voulais un homme |
| A chacun sa merveille |
| Et la vie, en passant |
| Un jour, me l’amena |
| Puis, la fille prit des coups |
| Par son beau matelot |
| La guerre, en plein mois d’août |
| Nous faucha le soldat |
| Le navire qui passait |
| Juste à ce moment-là |
| Le navire qui passait |
| Prit l’eau et puis coula |
| Bref, on ne sait pourquoi |
| Mais tout se renversa |
| Moi, je pris en plein cœur |
| Un éclat de son rire |
| Quand il jeta mon bonheur |
| Dans la fosse aux souvenirs |
| Je le vis s’en aller |
| Emportent mon soleil |
| Emportant mes étés |
| J’avais voulu un homme |
| J’aurais dû me méfier: |
| Cette garce de vie |
| Un jour, me le reprit |
| Qu’importe si la vie |
| Nous donne et nous reprend |
| Puisqu’ici-bas, tout n’est |
| Que recommencement |
| La fille, pour son plaisir |
| Reprendra des matelots |
| On refera des navires |
| Pour le ventre de l’eau |
| Y aura toujours des guerres |
| Pour jouer aux soldats |
| Qui s’en iront les faire |
| Sur l’air de «Ca ira» |
| Eh ben moi, je reprendrai un homme |
| Pas de mal à ça |
| Un homme |
| Les hommes, j’aime ça |
| Un homme, un homme, un homme… |
| (translation) |
| The girl, for her pleasure |
| Choose the sailor |
| The water wanted ships |
| To sail in its water |
| Man chooses war |
| To play soldier |
| And went to do it |
| To the tune of "Ca ira" |
| In short, everyone had |
| What he had wished for |
| I wanted a man |
| Neither too ugly nor too beautiful |
| Who would walk love |
| On the corners of my skin |
| A man who in the early morning |
| would take me by the hand |
| To take me to bite |
| A ray of sunshine |
| I wanted a man |
| To each his wonder |
| And life, by the way |
| One day brought him to me |
| Then the girl took hits |
| By her handsome sailor |
| The war, in the middle of August |
| We mowed down the soldier |
| The passing ship |
| Just then |
| The passing ship |
| Took water and then sank |
| Anyway, we don't know why |
| But everything turned upside down |
| Me, I took heart |
| A burst of his laughter |
| When he threw away my happiness |
| In the memory pit |
| I saw him go |
| Take away my sun |
| Taking away my summers |
| I had wanted a man |
| I should have been wary: |
| This bitch of life |
| One day, took it back from me |
| Doesn't matter if life |
| Give us and take us away |
| Since here below, all is not |
| What a new start |
| The girl, for her pleasure |
| Will take over sailors |
| We'll make ships again |
| For the water belly |
| There will always be wars |
| To play soldiers |
| Who will go and make them |
| To the tune of "Ca ira" |
| Well I'll take a man back |
| No harm in that |
| A man |
| Men, I like it |
| A man, a man, a man... |
