Oupetta la Bella (original)Oupetta la Bella (translation)
Dans les montagnes en maraude In the marauding mountains
La fille du contrebandier The Smuggler's Daughter
Sur son p’tit ân' portait en fraude On his little donkey carried in fraud
Du tabac dans son petit panier Tobacco in his little basket
Elle chantait la ritournelle She was singing the refrain
Qu’un gars avait faite pour ell'… That a guy had made for her...
Oh!Oh!
hé!, oh!hey!, oh!
hé! Hey!
Ell' s’app’lait Houpetta Her name was Houpetta
Petta-ci, petta-là Petta this, petta there
Petta-haut, petta-bas Petta-high, petta-low
Houpetta-la-bella Houpetta-la-Bella
Houpetta-la-bella Houpetta-la-Bella
Houpetta, la mia bella Houpetta, la mia bella
Sur son ân' elle allait On her donkey she was going
Petta-ci, petta-là Petta this, petta there
Petta-haut, petta-bas Petta-high, petta-low
Houpetta-la-bella Houpetta-la-Bella
Houpetta-la-bella Houpetta-la-Bella
De sa voix fraîche elle chantait: coucou ! In her fresh voice she sang: Hello!
Au loin l'écho lui répondait: coucou ! In the distance the echo answered him: hello!
Quand le petit âne faisait, hi!When the little donkey said, hi!
han! han!
Au loin l'écho lui répondait: la même chose In the distance the echo replied: the same
Coucou-ci, coucou-là Hello here, hello there
Petta-ci, petta-là; Petta this, petta there;
L'écho mêlait tout ça The echo mixed it all up
A la belle Houpetta To the beautiful Houpetta
Ah!Ah!
ah!ha!
ah!ha!
Mais un beau jour elle se fit prendre But one day she got caught
Par un douanier, un bien beau gars By a customs officer, a handsome guy
Qui lui a pris sans plus attendre Who took him without further ado
Tout ce qu’elle avait comme tabac All the tobacco she had
En pleurant la contrebandière Mourning the smuggler
Lui dit: «ne me fais pas d’misèr's» Said to him, "don't make me misery's"
Oh!Oh!
hé!, oh!hey!, oh!
hé! Hey!
Je m’appelle Houpetta My name is Houpetta
Petta-ci, petta-là Petta this, petta there
Petta-haut, petta-bas Petta-high, petta-low
Houpetta-la-bella Houpetta-la-Bella
Houpetta-la-bella Houpetta-la-Bella
Houpetta, la mia bella Houpetta, la mia bella
Je ne veux pas qu’tu touch’s à mon paquet d' tabac I don't want you to touch my tobacco pack
Je t’en prie, je n’veux pas Please, I don't want
Ce n’est pas, ce n’est pas It's not, it's not
Ce n’est pas, ce n’est pas It's not, it's not
Ce n’est pas ta tabatière It's not your snuffbox
Mais le douanier lui, il a dit: «je dois» But the customs officer, he said, "I have to"
Et tout de suite l'écho répondit: And immediately the echo answered:
Rien parce qu’il n’avait pas crié assez fort Nothing because he didn't shout loud enough
Alors finalement elle lui a dit: «ben, le v’la» So finally she said to him, "Well, here it is"
Mais pour s’moquer d’ell' il répondit: «merci !But to make fun of her he replied: “Thank you!
j’fum’pas» I don't smoke"
C’est ainsi qu’Houpetta This is how Houpetta
Sauva tout son tabac Saved all his tobacco
Le petit ân' trotta The little donkey trotted
Emmena Houpetta Emma Houpetta
Ah!Ah!
ah!ha!
ah!ha!
