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