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