Candide (original)Candide (translation)
Au temps, au bon temps In time, in good time
Des rois fainéants lazy kings
Ti qui tic qui tic ! Ti qui tic qui tic!
Les jours et les nuits Days and nights
Se passaient au lit Happened in bed
Ti qui tic qui tic ! Ti qui tic qui tic!
Traînés par des bœufs Drawn by oxen
Dans un char moelleux In a fluffy chariot
On faisait Paris-Orléans We were doing Paris-Orleans
En trois ans, tout en taquinant In three years, while teasing
Les belles pucell’s en passant… The beautiful maidens by the way...
Au temps, au bon temps In time, in good time
Des rois fainéants lazy kings
Ti qui tic qui tic ! Ti qui tic qui tic!
D’un’main on mangeait With one hand we ate
De l’autre on buvait On the other we were drinking
Ti qui tic qui tic ! Ti qui tic qui tic!
L’amour se chantait Love was singing
Sur des fluviaux d’or On rivers of gold
Et les belles offraient les trésors And the beauties offered the treasures
De leurs corps Of their bodies
Aux rois fainéants To lazy kings
Les baladins jouaint du bilboquet The strollers played bilboquet
Et les menestrels grattaient leurs viell’s And the minstrels scratched their viell's
Et tous les bouffons dansaient en rond: And all the jesters were dancing around:
C'était toujours la fête ! It was always a party!
Tous les manants, badauds criaient All the peasants, onlookers were shouting
«Bravo !» "Cheer !"
Et parfois, pour un privilégié And sometimes for a privileged
Le bon roi disait à son bourreau: The good king said to his executioner:
«Oh !"Oh !
Coupez-lui la tête ! Cut off his head!
Ça lui fera les pieds ! It will make him happy!
Foutez-moi la paix !» Give me a break !"
Au temps, au bon temps In time, in good time
Des rois fainéants lazy kings
Ti qui tic qui tic ! Ti qui tic qui tic!
T’aurais eu ma reine You would have had my queen
Un beau diadème A beautiful tiara
Ti qui tic qui tic ! Ti qui tic qui tic!
Parmi les oiseaux among the birds
Au bord des ruisseaux By the streams
Je te vois, quenouillant le lin I see you dabbling linen
Enfin bref, comm’dirait Pépin Anyway, as Pépin would say
Chacun doit mériter son pain ! Everyone must earn their bread!
Au temps, au bon temps In time, in good time
Des rois fainéants lazy kings
Ti qui tic qui tic ! Ti qui tic qui tic!
T’aurais pas aimé You wouldn't have liked
Me voir travailler See me work
Ti qui tic qui tic ! Ti qui tic qui tic!
Alors, mon amour So, my love
Ne crie pas toujours don't always shout
Laisse-moi dormir Let me sleep
Et sourire And smile
Au bon temps In good times
Des rois fainéants lazy kings
Ti qui tic qui tic ! Ti qui tic qui tic!
Des rois fainéants lazy kings
Ti qui tic qui tic ! Ti qui tic qui tic!
Des rois fainéants! Lazy kings!
Ha!Ha!
Je suis fatigué moi!I'm tired myself!
