Le Père-Noël et la petite fille(original) |
Avec sa hotte sur le dos |
Avec sa hotte sur le dos |
Il s’en venait d’Eldorado |
Il s’en venait d’Eldorado |
Il avait une barbe blanche |
Il avait nom «Papa Gâteau» |
Il a mis du pain sur ta planche |
Il a mis les mains sur tes hanches |
Il t’a prom’née dans un landeau |
Il t’a prom’née dans un landeau |
En route pour la vie d’château |
En route pour la vie d’château |
La belle vie dorée sur tranche |
Il te l’offrit sur un plateau |
Il a mis du grain dans ta grange |
Il a mis les mains sur tes hanches |
Toi qui n’avais rien sur le dos |
Toi qui n’avais rien sur le dos |
Il t’a couverte de manteaux |
Il t’a couverte de manteaux |
Il t’a vêtue comme un dimanche |
Tu n’auras pas froid de sitôt |
Il a mis l’hermine à ta manche |
Il a mis les mains sur tes hanches |
Tous les camées, tous les émaux |
Tous les camées, tous les émaux |
Il les fit pendre à tes rameaux |
Il les fit pendre à tes rameaux |
Il fit rouler en avalanches |
Perles et rubis dans tes sabots |
Il a mis de l’or à ta branche |
Il a mis les mains sur tes hanches |
Tire la bell', tir' le rideau |
Tire la bell', tir' le rideau |
Sur tes misères de tantôt |
Sur tes misères de tantôt |
Et qu’au-dehors il pleuve, il vente |
Le mauvais temps n’est plus ton lot |
Le joli temps des coudées franches |
On a mis les mains sur tes hanches |
(translation) |
With his hood on his back |
With his hood on his back |
He was coming from Eldorado |
He was coming from Eldorado |
He had a white beard |
His name was "Daddy Cake" |
He put bread on your board |
He put his hands on your hips |
He took you for a ride in a pram |
He took you for a ride in a pram |
On the way to castle life |
On the way to castle life |
The good life gilded on edge |
He offered it to you on a platter |
He put grain in your barn |
He put his hands on your hips |
You who had nothing on your back |
You who had nothing on your back |
He covered you with cloaks |
He covered you with cloaks |
He dressed you like a Sunday |
You won't be cold anytime soon |
He put the ermine on your sleeve |
He put his hands on your hips |
All cameos, all enamels |
All cameos, all enamels |
He made them hang from your branches |
He made them hang from your branches |
He rolled in avalanches |
Pearls and rubies in your hooves |
He put gold to your branch |
He put his hands on your hips |
Pull the bell, pull the curtain |
Pull the bell, pull the curtain |
On your past miseries |
On your past miseries |
And outside it's raining, it's windy |
Bad weather is no longer your lot |
The pretty time of free rein |
We put our hands on your hips |
