Seize tonnes (original)Seize tonnes (translation)
Si l’homme est de la boue pour des tas de gens If man is mud to lots of people
Il est pour moi fait de chair et de sang He is flesh and blood to me
De muscles de fer et d’un coeur trop bon Of muscles of iron and a heart too good
Et de deux épaules pour charger le charbon And two shoulders to load the coal
T’en fais seize tonnes, ça te donne quoi? You do sixteen tons, what do you get?
Un jour de plus vers quatre planches de bois One more day to four planks of wood
La pelle chaque jour qui prend plus de poids The shovel every day that gains more weight
Mais qui fera vivre la mine sans toi? But who will keep the mine alive without you?
Quand ta mère a déjà cinq gosses à nourrir When your mother already has five kids to feed
Un de plus n’est pas pour lui faire plaisir One more is not to please him
Alors toi, tu bosses comme un lion So you work like a lion
Mais le chef a beau dire que t’es un champion But the chef may say you're a champion
T’en fais seize tonnes, ça te donne quoi? You do sixteen tons, what do you get?
Un jour de plus vers quatre planches de bois One more day to four planks of wood
La pelle chaque jour qui prend plus de poids The shovel every day that gains more weight
Mais qui fera vivre la mine sans toi? But who will keep the mine alive without you?
Quand pendant toute la semaine, tu t’crèves en bas When all week, you're dying down there
L’dimanche enfin, tout le ciel est à toi Sunday finally, all the sky is yours
Et dans tes draps blancs, dès ton réveil And in your white sheets, as soon as you wake up
Les yeux de ta femme sont comme des soleils Your wife's eyes are like suns
T’en fais seize tonnes, ça te donne quoi? You do sixteen tons, what do you get?
Un jour enfin où tu peux croire à la joie A day at last when you can believe in joy
La pelle chaque jour qui prend plus de poids The shovel every day that gains more weight
Mais qui fera vivre la mine sans toi? But who will keep the mine alive without you?
T’en fais seize tonnes, ça te donne quoi? You do sixteen tons, what do you get?
Un jour de plus vers quatre planches de bois One more day to four planks of wood
La pelle chaque jour qui prend plus de poids The shovel every day that gains more weight
Mais qui fera vivre la mine sans toi?But who will keep the mine alive without you?
