A la Chapelle (original)A la Chapelle (translation)
Quand les heur’s a tomb’nt comm' des glas When the hours fell like death knells
La nuit quand i' fait du verglas At night when it's icy
Ou quand la neige a' s’amoncelle? Or when the snow has piled up?
A la Chapelle At the Chapel
On a frio, du haut en bas We have frio, from top to bottom
Car on a ni chaussett’s, ni bas; For we have neither socks nor stockings;
On transpir' pas dans la flanelle We don't sweat in the flannel
A la Chapelle At the Chapel
On a beau s’payer des souliers It's nice to buy shoes
On a tout d’même frisquet aux pieds We still have chilly feet
Car les souliers n’ont pas d’semelle Because the shoes have no sole
A la Chapelle At the Chapel
Dans l’temps, sous l’abri, tous les soirs In time, under the shelter, every night
On allumait trois grands chauffoirs We lit three big heaters
Pour empêcher que l’peuple i' gèle To prevent people from freezing
A la Chapelle At the Chapel
Alors on s’en foutait du froid ! So we didn't care about the cold!
Là-d'ssous on était comm' chez soi Down there we were like at home
El' gaz i' nous servait d’chandelle El' gaz i' served us as a candle
A la Chapelle At the Chapel
Mais l’quartier d’venait trop rupin But the neighborhood came too rich
Tous les sans-sou, tous les sans-pain All the penniless, all the breadless
Radinaient tous, même ceux d’Grenelle All radiant, even those of Grenelle
A la Chapelle At the Chapel
Et v’là porquoi qu’l’hiver suivant And that's why the following winter
On n’nous a pus foutu qu’du vent We were only given the wind
Et l’vent n’est pas chaud, quand i' gèle And the wind is not hot, when it freezes
A la Chapelle At the Chapel
Aussi, maint’nant qu’on a pus d’feu Also, now that we have no fire
On n’se chauffe pus, on grinche un peu We don't warm up, we cringe a little
I' fait moins froid à la Nouvelle It's less cold at New
Qu'à la ChapelleThan at the Chapel
