Monsieur Jonas(original) |
Il y avait, il y avait |
Un monsieur très entouré |
Un monsieur très admiré |
Un monsieur très à la page |
Qui vivait dans un village |
De son métier chef de gare |
Et de plus roi du billard |
Le champion de la contrée |
Et que nul n’osait contrer |
Dans le village on disait plein d'égards… gare |
Monsieur Jonas |
Est un as |
Au billard |
Faut voir |
Comme il joue |
Car ses coups |
Sont fumants |
Époustouflants |
Matin et soir |
Sur le comptoir |
Y’a son verre |
De bière |
Les gens se pressent |
Et acquiescent |
Ses coulées |
Ses coups doublés |
Au coin de la bouche un mégot presqu'éteint |
On croit qu’il louche pourtant il n’en est rien |
Il sait très bien calculer ses effets |
Il sait ce qu’il fait |
Il ne se presse pas |
S'énerve pas |
Mais il prend |
Son temps |
Son jeu est sûr |
Sa figure |
A le sourire |
Ce qui fait dire |
Monsieur Jonas |
Est un as |
Au billard |
A le voir |
Les gens tout haut |
Crient bravo |
C’est un as |
Monsieur Jonas |
Il y a eu, il y a eu |
Un monsieur qu’est arrivé |
Un monsieur étranger |
Un monsieur très à la page |
Qui venait d’un autre village |
Contre Jonas il joua |
Et Jonas perdit cette fois |
Mais ne pouvant le supporter |
Un soir il s’est suicidé |
Et dans le village on ne joue plus au billard… car |
Le diable passe |
C’est Jonas |
Qui revient |
Malin |
Il frappe les joueurs |
Qui de peur |
S'évanouissent |
Font une jaunisse |
Il boit la bière |
Casse des verres |
Mange les bleus |
Parbleu |
Sans crier gare |
Dans le billard |
Tout de go |
Fait des accrocs |
Au lointain on entend gémir les trains |
Les trains fantômes qui courent dans le matin |
Sur son passage le vent balaye tout |
Et crie comme un fou |
Jonas, Jonas |
Les villageois |
Perdent la joie |
Et le sommeil |
Et dans leurs oreilles |
Vite ils enfilent |
Du coton hydrophile |
Pour ne plus écouter |
Un Jonas déchaîné |
Qui se met à hurler |
Monsieur Jonas |
Est un as |
Au billard |
(translation) |
There was, there was |
A very surrounded gentleman |
A much admired gentleman |
A very up-to-date gentleman |
Who lived in a village |
From his job stationmaster |
And besides king of billiards |
The champion of the land |
And no one dared to counter |
In the village they said full of consideration... beware |
Mr Jonah |
is an ace |
Billiards |
must see |
How he plays |
Because his blows |
are smoking |
Breathtaking |
Morning and evening |
On the counter |
There is his glass |
beer |
People are crowding |
And nod |
Its flows |
His double punches |
In the corner of the mouth an almost extinct cigarette butt |
You think he's cross-eyed, but he's not |
He knows very well how to calculate his effects |
He knows what he's doing |
He's in no hurry |
Don't get angry |
But he takes |
His time |
His game is safe |
His face |
Has a smile |
What makes say |
Mr Jonah |
is an ace |
Billiards |
To see it |
People up high |
Shout cheers |
It's an ace |
Mr Jonah |
There was, there was |
A gentleman has arrived |
A foreign gentleman |
A very up-to-date gentleman |
Who came from another village |
Against Jonah he played |
And Jonah lost this time |
But can't bear it |
One night he committed suicide |
And in the village we don't play billiards anymore... because |
The devil passes |
It's Jonah |
That comes back |
clever |
He hits the players |
Who's afraid |
faint |
make you jaundiced |
He drinks beer |
Glass breakage |
eat the blues |
Parbleu |
Without warning |
In the pool table |
Straight off |
Made hitches |
In the distance we hear the moaning of the trains |
Ghost trains that run in the morning |
In its path the wind sweeps everything away |
And scream like crazy |
Jonas, Jonas |
The villagers |
Lose the joy |
And sleep |
And in their ears |
Quickly they put on |
Absorbent cotton |
To stop listening |
A raging Jonas |
Who starts screaming |
Mr Jonah |
is an ace |
Billiards |
