Lyrics of J'aurai sa fille - Eddy Mitchell

J'aurai sa fille (original)

Quand on voit ton père
On ne l’oublie plus
Il y a au cimetière
Des gens qui l’ont bien connu
Mais que peut-il faire
Contre notre amour?
Me chasser, me faire la guerre?
Mais je sais bien qu’un jour
J’aurai sa fille
J’aurai ses chevaux
J’aurai sa fille
Mais il n’aura pas ma peau
Ton père a une pierre
À la place du cœur
Malgré ses colères
Moi, il ne me fait pas peur
Et dans la cuisine
Même s’il dort
Près de sa vieille carabine
Même s’il est le plus fort
Guitare…
Dans un chemin sombre
Pourtant l’autre soir
Surgissant de l’ombre
Il a bien failli m’avoir
Alors, à toutes jambes
J’ai couru vers toi
Tu m’as caché dans ta chambre
Mais cette nuit-là
J’ai eu sa fille
En premier cadeau
J’ai eu sa fille
Un jour, il aura ma peau

(translation)

When we see your father
We don't forget it anymore
There's in the cemetery
People who knew him well
But what can he do
Against our love?
Hunt me, make war on me?
But I know that one day
I will have his daughter
I will have his horses
I will have his daughter
But he won't get my skin
Your father has a stone
Instead of the heart
Despite his anger
Me, he doesn't scare me
And in the kitchen
Even if he sleeps
By his old rifle
Even though he's the strongest
Guitar…
In a dark path
Yet the other night
Emerging from the shadows
He almost got me
So, at full speed
I ran to you
You hid me in your room
But that night
I had his daughter
As a first gift
I had his daughter
One day he will have my skin
