| Ma chansonnette / Sam'song (original) | Ma chansonnette / Sam'song (translation) |
|---|---|
| J’connais un vieux mendigot | I know an old beggar |
| Qui chantonn' gaîment | Who cheerfully sings |
| En ramassant ses mégots | Picking up his butts |
| Tout le long de l’an | All year round |
| Un p’tit air joyeux | A little joyful air |
| Qui rend heureux | who makes happy |
| Ma chansonnette | my song |
| Ell' consol' les gens | She consoles people |
| Qu’ont pas d’argent | who have no money |
| Ma chansonnette | my song |
| Quand sans y penser | When without thinking |
| Vous sifflotez | you whistle |
| Ma chansonnette | my song |
| Ça vous donne l’envie | It makes you want |
| D’rir' tout' la vie | To laugh all the life |
| Et d’oublier vos soucis | And forget your worries |
| Si les percepteurs | If tax collectors |
| Chantaient en ch ur | Were singing along |
| Ma chansonnette | my song |
| On s’rait tous d’accord | We would all agree |
| Sans l’moindre effort | Without the slightest effort |
| C’est pas si bête | It's not that stupid |
| Plus de guerr’s idiotes | No more stupid warriors |
| Et plus de frontières | And no more borders |
| Le bonheur à part entière | Happiness in its own right |
| Si l’monde apprenait | If the world learned |
| A fredonner | To hum |
| Ma chansonnette… | My song... |
