Le chat noir(original) |
| La lune était sereine |
| Quand sur le boulevard |
| Je vis poindre Sosthène |
| Qui me dit: Cher Oscar ! |
| D’ou viens-tu, vieille branche? |
| Moi, je lui répondis: |
| C’est aujourd’hui dimanche |
| Et c’est demain lundi! |
| Je cherche fortune |
| Autour du Chat Noir |
| Au clair de la lune |
| A Montmartre ! |
| Je cherche fortune |
| Autour du Chat Noir |
| Au clair de la lune |
| A Montmartre, le soir! |
| La lune était moins claire |
| Lorsque je rencontrai |
| Mademoiselle Claire |
| A qui je murmurai: |
| Comment vas-tu, la belle? |
| — Et Vous? |
| — Très bien, merci! |
| — A propos, me dit-elle |
| Que cherchez-vous, ici? |
| Je cherche fortune |
| Autour du Chat Noir |
| Au clair de la lune |
| A Montmartre ! |
| Je cherche fortune |
| Autour du Chat Noir |
| Au clair de la lune |
| A Montmartre, le soir! |
| La lune était plus sombre |
| En haut les chats braillaient |
| Quand j’aperçus, dans l’ombre |
| Deux grands yeux qui brillaient |
| Une voix de rogomme |
| Me cria: Nom d’un chien ! |
| Je vous y prends, jeune homme |
| Que faites-vous? |
| — Moi? |
| Rien! |
| Je cherche fortune |
| Autour du Chat Noir |
| Au clair de la lune |
| A Montmartre ! |
| (translation) |
| The moon was serene |
| When on the boulevard |
| I saw Sosthene dawn |
| Who says to me: Dear Oscar! |
| Where are you from, old branch? |
| I answered him: |
| Today is Sunday |
| And tomorrow is Monday! |
| I seek fortune |
| Around the Black Cat |
| In the moonlight |
| In Montmartre! |
| I seek fortune |
| Around the Black Cat |
| In the moonlight |
| In Montmartre, in the evening! |
| The moon was less clear |
| When I met |
| Miss Claire |
| To whom I whispered: |
| How are you, beautiful? |
| - And you? |
| - Very well thank you! |
| "By the way," she told me. |
| What are you looking for here? |
| I seek fortune |
| Around the Black Cat |
| In the moonlight |
| In Montmartre! |
| I seek fortune |
| Around the Black Cat |
| In the moonlight |
| In Montmartre, in the evening! |
| The moon was darker |
| Upstairs the cats were bawling |
| When I saw, in the shadows |
| Two big eyes that shone |
| A voice of rogum |
| Shouted to me: Name of a dog! |
| I'll take you, young man |
| What are you doing? |
| - Me? |
| Nothing! |
| I seek fortune |
| Around the Black Cat |
| In the moonlight |
| In Montmartre! |
