L’hôtel Borgne (original)L’hôtel Borgne (translation)
Parce que j’aimais la fille du bougnat Because I loved the bougnat's daughter
Qu’avait de beaux yeux, de beaux seins et les pieds plats… That had beautiful eyes, beautiful breasts and flat feet...
J’ai tout perdu, triste fortune. I lost everything, sad fortune.
J’ai pleuréd'amour, I wept for love,
De faubourg en faubourg. From suburb to suburb.
J’ai pleuréd'amour au clair de lune… I cried of love in the moonlight...
Tout seul je loge dans un quartier perdu All alone I lodge in a lost neighborhood
Au fond d’une petite rue. At the end of a small street.
J’habite un hôtel borgne, si borgne, si borgne I live in a blind hotel, so blind, so blind
Que je frémis lorsque, le soir, That I shudder when, in the evening,
Je vois son oeil qui luit dans le noir. I see his eye glowing in the dark.
Quand le patron me lorgne, me lorgne, me lorgne, When the boss eyeing me, eyeing me, eyeing me
J’ai mal au ventre subitement. I suddenly have a stomach ache.
Je passe ma clef et je fous le camp. I pass my key and get the hell out.
Coupe-gorge, assassinat, Cut throat, assassination,
Le crime rôde, rôde, rôde, Crime lurks, lurks, lurks,
Couleur locale pour cinéma. Local color for cinema.
Tard dans la nuit, arméd'un grand poignard, Late at night, armed with a big dagger,
On voit passer Bébert, l’ancien bagnard… We see Bébert, the former convict, pass...
Il cherche sa brune Andalouse He is looking for his Andalusian brunette
Qu’a donnéson coeur What gave his heart
Au fils du percepteur. To the tax collector's son.
Elle l’a dans la peau, la jalouse… She has it in her skin, the jealous one...
Mais Bébert les surprend et les tue But Bébert surprises them and kills them
Au fond d’une petite rue. At the end of a small street.
J’habite un hôtel borgne, si borgne, si borgne. I live in a blind hotel, so blind, so blind.
Quand le patron me lorgne, me lorgne, me lorgne, When the boss eyeing me, eyeing me, eyeing me
Je lui demande: «Comment que ça va?» I ask him, "How are you?"
Je pose mon chapeau et je reste là. I put my hat down and stay there.
Le samedi, l’accordéon, On Saturdays, the accordion,
En ritournelle, chante, chante: In refrain, sing, sing:
Quand on s’aime, c’est pour de bon…When we love each other, it's for good...
