Les gens riaient(original) |
Je ne sais pas pourquoi, quand je parlais, les gens riaient |
Je ne sais pas pourquoi, depuis toujours, c'était comme ça |
A l'école, déjà tout enfant, |
Lorsque je répondais: «Présent !» |
Toute la classe, riait, riait ! |
Et ces rires, me rendaient triste… |
Mais la vie n’est pas une scène |
Et souvent j’avais de la peine |
Et les gens, qui riaient sans savoir |
C’est bizarre… |
Comme tout le monde, j’ai eu vingt ans, |
Je suis parti au régiment, |
Tous mes copains, riaient, riaient ! |
Et ces rires, me rendaient triste… |
J'étais toujours sur la sellette, |
Comme un troupier d’une opérette. |
Les gens riaient sans savoir, |
C’est bizarre… |
Puis un jour, j’ai connu l’amour, |
J’ai dit: «Je t’aimerai toujours !» |
Mais la fille, riait, riait ! |
Et ses rires m’ont rendu triste… |
J’me suis dit: «T'as pas trop de veine.» |
Mais j’ai eu beaucoup de la peine. |
Les gens riaient de me voir, |
C’est bizarre… |
Un jour j’en ai fait mon métier |
Un peu forcé, presque obligé, |
Et le public, riait, riait ! |
Et je n'étais plus triste ! |
J’avais trouvé mon existence |
Et quelquefois quand je repense |
Aux gens qui riaient de me voir |
C’est bizarre… |
Maintenant, je sais pourquoi, quand je parlais, les gens riaient |
Maintenant, je sais pourquoi, quand j’suis heureux comme ça |
(translation) |
I don't know why when I was talking people were laughing |
I don't know why it's always been like this |
At school, already as a child, |
When I answered: “Present!” |
The whole class, laughing, laughing! |
And those laughs, made me sad... |
But life is not a stage |
And often I was in pain |
And the people, who laughed without knowing |
It's weird... |
Like everyone else, I was twenty, |
I went to the regiment, |
All my friends were laughing, laughing! |
And those laughs, made me sad... |
I was always in the hot seat, |
Like a troupe from an operetta. |
People laughed without knowing, |
It's weird... |
Then one day I knew love, |
I said, "I will always love you!" |
But the girl, laughed, laughed! |
And his laughter made me sad... |
I thought to myself, "You don't have too much luck." |
But I had a lot of pain. |
People laughed to see me, |
It's weird... |
One day I made it my job |
A little forced, almost forced, |
And the audience was laughing, laughing! |
And I was no longer sad! |
I had found my existence |
And sometimes when I think back |
To people who laughed to see me |
It's weird... |
Now I know why when I was talking people were laughing |
Now I know why, when I'm happy like this |
