Veuve De Guerre(original) |
Mon mari est mort à la guerre. |
Je venais d’avoir 18 ans. |
Je fus à lui seul toute entière, |
De son vivant |
Mais le jour de la fête, |
On me conte fleurette. |
Peut-être qu’on aurait pas pu |
Si je n’avais pas tant bu. |
Comme j'étais couchée sur le ciment, |
On a pu facilement devenir mon amant. |
Si ça devait arriver, |
C’est que ça devait arriver. |
Tout dans la vie arrive à son heure. |
Il faut bien qu’on vive. |
Il faut bien qu’on boive. |
Il faut bien qu’on aime. |
Il faut bien qu’on meure. |
Mon amant est mort à la guerre. |
Je venais d’avoir 19 ans. |
Je fus à lui seul toute entière |
De son vivant, |
Mais quand j’ai appris ça, |
Je ne sais ce qui se passe, |
Je ne sais quelle folie, |
Je ne sais quelle furie: |
En un jour, je pris 3 amants |
Et puis encore autant |
Dans le même laps du temps. |
Si ça devait arriver, |
C’est que ça devait arriver. |
Tout dans la vie arrive à son heure. |
Il faut bien qu’on vive. |
Il faut bien qu’on boive. |
Il faut bien qu’on aime. |
Il faut bien qu’on meure. |
Tous les six sont morts à la guerre, |
A la guerre que font mes amants. |
Bientôt, chez nous, y aura plus guère |
D’hommes vivants |
Mais quand un seul restera, |
J'épouserai celui-là. |
On sera enfin tranquille |
Jusqu’au jour où nos filles |
En seront aussi au moment |
De prendre des amants |
Comme leur pauvre maman. |
Si ça doit arriver, |
C’est que ça doit arriver. |
Tout dans la vie arrive à son heure. |
Il faut bien qu’on vive. |
Il faut bien qu’on boive. |
Il faut bien qu’on aime. |
Il faut bien qu’on meure. |
Il faut bien qu’on vive. |
Il faut bien qu’on boive. |
Il faut bien qu’on aime. |
Il faut bien qu’on meure |
(translation) |
My husband died in the war. |
I had just turned 18. |
I was all his alone, |
In his lifetime |
But on the feast day, |
They flirt with me. |
Maybe we couldn't |
If I hadn't had so much to drink. |
As I lay on the cement, |
We could easily become my lover. |
If it should happen, |
That had to happen. |
Everything in life happens in its time. |
We have to live. |
We gotta drink. |
We gotta love it. |
We have to die. |
My lover died in the war. |
I had just turned 19. |
I was all his alone |
In his lifetime, |
But when I learned that, |
I don't know what's going on, |
I don't know what madness, |
I don't know what fury: |
In one day I took 3 lovers |
And then so many more |
In the same time frame. |
If it should happen, |
That had to happen. |
Everything in life happens in its time. |
We have to live. |
We gotta drink. |
We gotta love it. |
We have to die. |
All six died in the war, |
To the war my lovers are waging. |
Soon, with us, there will be little |
Of living men |
But when only one remains, |
I will marry that one. |
We'll finally be at peace |
Until the day when our daughters |
Will also be at the time |
To take lovers |
Like their poor mother. |
If it should happen, |
That's got to happen. |
Everything in life happens in its time. |
We have to live. |
We gotta drink. |
We gotta love it. |
We have to die. |
We have to live. |
We gotta drink. |
We gotta love it. |
We have to die |
