La visite(original) |
| On n'était pas des Barbe-Bleue |
| Ni des pelés, ni des galeux |
| Porteurs de parasites |
| On n'était pas des spadassins |
| On venait du pays voisin |
| On venait en visite |
| On n’avait aucune intention |
| De razzia, de déprédation |
| Aucun but illicite |
| On venait pas piller chez eux |
| On venait pas gober leurs oeufs |
| On venait en visite |
| On poussait pas des cris d’Indiens |
| On avançait avec maintien |
| Et d’un pas qui hésite |
| On braquait pas des revolvers |
| On arrivait les bras ouverts |
| On venait en visite |
| Mais ils sont rentrés dans leurs trous |
| Mais ils ont poussé les verrous |
| Dans un accord tacite |
| Ils ont fermé les contrevents |
| Caché les femmes, les enfants |
| Refusé la visite |
| On venait pas leur imposer |
| Notre manière de penser |
| Pas leur prendre leur site |
| On venait leur dire en passant |
| Un petit bonjour innocent |
| On venait en visite |
| On venait pour se présenter |
| On venait pour les fréquenter |
| Pour qu’ils nous plébiscitent |
| Dans l’espérance d'être admis |
| Et naturalisés amis |
| On venait en visite |
| Par malchance, ils n’ont pas voulu |
| De notre amitié superflue |
| Que rien ne nécessite |
| Et l’on a refermé nos mains |
| Et l’on a rebroussé chemin |
| Suspendu la visite |
| (translation) |
| We weren't Bluebeards |
| Neither skinned nor scabby |
| Parasite carriers |
| We were not swashbucklers |
| We came from the neighboring country |
| We were coming to visit |
| We had no intention |
| Of raid, of depredation |
| No Illegal Purpose |
| We didn't come to loot their house |
| We didn't come to gobble their eggs |
| We were coming to visit |
| We weren't screaming Indians |
| We moved forward steadily |
| And with a step that hesitates |
| We weren't pointing guns |
| We came with open arms |
| We were coming to visit |
| But they got back in their holes |
| But they pushed the locks |
| In tacit agreement |
| They closed the shutters |
| Hidden women, children |
| Denied visit |
| We weren't coming to impose on them |
| Our way of thinking |
| Not take them their site |
| We came to tell them in passing |
| An innocent little hello |
| We were coming to visit |
| We came to introduce ourselves |
| We came to hang out |
| So that they acclaim us |
| Hoping to be admitted |
| And naturalized friends |
| We were coming to visit |
| Unfortunately, they didn't want |
| Of our superfluous friendship |
| That nothing requires |
| And we closed our hands |
| And we turned back |
| Suspended visit |
