Fraternite (original)Fraternite (translation)
Nous rentrions très tard, mêlant We came home very late, mixing
Des vers purs à des chants obscènes From pure verses to obscene chants
Et l’on s’asseyait sur un banc And we sat on a bench
Pour regarder rêver la Seine To watch the Seine dream
Sur l’eau rien ne vivait encore On the water nothing yet lived
Ainsi qu’une ouvrière lasse Like a weary worker
Pressant sur ses flancs ses fils morts Pressing to her sides her dead sons
La Seine dormait dans sa crasse The Seine was sleeping in its filth
Nos coeurs d’ivrognes s’emplissaient Our drunken hearts were filling
D’une bienfaisante latrie Of a beneficent latria
Si le soleil, le vent doraient If the sun, the wind were golden
Les marronniers des Tuileries The chestnut trees of the Tuileries
Pour mieux évoquer l’ancien soir To better evoke the old evening
Le plâtre et le vin des tavernes The plaster and the wine of the taverns
Egayaient nos vieux habits noirs Brightened up our old black clothes
Et nos plastrons d’hommes modernes And our breastplates of modern men
Alors, ayant honte vraiment So, really being ashamed
De nous connaître aussi lyriques To know us so lyrical
Nous offrions un coup de blanc We offered a blow of white
Aux balayeurs mélancoliques To the melancholy sweepers
Belle ruse et l’on découvrait Nice trick and we discovered
Dans le balayeur, un poète In the sweeper, a poet
Si bien que les verres tremblaient So the glasses were shaking
Sur le comptoir, autel de fête On the counter, festive altar
Et pour que ce soir sans égal And so that tonight without equal
Fût perpétué un pandore Was perpetuated a pandora
On dressait le procès verbal We took the minutes
Parsemé d’attendus sonoresSprinkled with sound expectations
