| Seigneur! |
| Tu as mis au monde |
| beaucoup beaucoup trop de pauvres gens |
| mais s’il n’y a pas de honte à être pauvre |
| il n’y a pas de quoi en être fier non plus |
| Quel mal y aurait-il |
| si javais une petite petite fortune |
| Ah si j'étais riche |
| diguedadedadedadedadedadedadedaaaah! |
| ah si j'étais |
| diguediguedich daydedaydedaydemoi! |
| eh! |
| adieu la charrette |
| diguedadedadedadedadedadedadedaaaah! |
| tous les jours j’ai |
| diguediguedich daydedaydedaydedaydemoi. |
| Je bâtirais un vrai palais |
| montant jusqu’au ciel |
| sur la place du marché |
| des murs plantés bien droit |
| sous un toit doré |
| un escalier de marbre |
| un autre tout en bois |
| l’un pour entrer l’autre pour sortir |
| et encore un troisième pour la joie |
| et plein d’autres cours du soir? |
| des coqs et des poules |
| toute la ville m’envierait |
| car ça piaillerait |
| ça caquetterait |
| et chaque coicoicoicoi (bruit de poule) rororo (bruit de cochon) |
| sonnerait comme un vrai clairon |
| regardez tous admirez ma maison |
| Ah si j'étais riche |
| diguedadedadedadedadedadedadedaaaah! |
| ah si j'étais |
| diguediguedich daydedaydedaydemoi! |
| eh! |
| adieu la charrette |
| diguedadedadedadedadedadedadedaaaah! |
| tous les jours j’ai |
| diguediguedich daydedaydedaydedaydemoi. |
| je vois ici ma gironde belle comme une bourgeoise |
| avec un double menton |
| nous faisons manger tout ce qui lui plait |
| je la vois se pavanant avec sa robe a traine |
| au mon Dieu! |
| quel dignité! |
| même quand elle dispute les valets |
| Les plus grands bonnets de la ville |
| me fera découverte |
| ils me demanderaient conseil |
| comme un Salomon sage |
| s’il vous plait rabi tavié |
| excusez rabi tavié |
| milles problème à coller |
| le grand rabbin boï boï… |
| que je dise blanc |
| que je dise noir |
| il faudra bien me croire |
| quand tu es riche |
| tu as toujours raison |
| si j'étais riche |
| j’aurais enfin |
| tout le temps d’aller |
| prier à la sinagogue |
| assis au 1er rang |
| je verrais bien |
| et je discuterais |
| la loi avec les anciens |
| au moins 7 heures par jour |
| dans la reflexion et dans la mort |
| Ah si j'étais riche |
| diguedadedadedadedadedadedadedaaaah! |
| tous les jours je |
| diguediguedoum ah si j'étais riche moi! |
| eh! |
| adieu la charrette |
| diguedidedaydedaydedaydeday |
| Dieu qui fît le ciel et les étoiles |
| est ce que ça t’aurait donné du mal |
| de changer ton plan phénoménal |
| et, et me faire riche, moi |
| (translation) |
| Lord! |
| You gave birth |
| far far too many poor people |
| but if there is no shame in being poor |
| there's nothing to be proud of either |
| What harm would there be |
| if i had a small fortune |
| Ah if I were rich |
| diguedadedadedadedadedadedadedaaaah! |
| ah if i were |
| diguediguedich daydedaydedaydemoi! |
| hey! |
| goodbye cart |
| diguedadedadedadedadedadedadedaaaah! |
| every day I have |
| diguediguedich daydedaydedaydedaydemoi. |
| I would build a real palace |
| rising to the sky |
| in the marketplace |
| straight walls |
| under a golden roof |
| a marble staircase |
| another all in wood |
| one to enter the other to exit |
| and yet a third for joy |
| and many other evening classes? |
| roosters and hens |
| the whole town would envy me |
| because it would piss |
| it would cackle |
| and every coicoicoicoi (chicken noise) rororo (pig noise) |
| would sound like a real bugle |
| all look admire my house |
| Ah if I were rich |
| diguedadedadedadedadedadedadedaaaah! |
| ah if i were |
| diguediguedich daydedaydedaydemoi! |
| hey! |
| goodbye cart |
| diguedadedadedadedadedadedadedaaaah! |
| every day I have |
| diguediguedich daydedaydedaydedaydemoi. |
| I see my Gironde here as beautiful as a bourgeoise |
| with a double chin |
| we feed whatever it pleases |
| I see her strutting around with her train dress |
| Oh my God! |
| what dignity! |
| even when she disputes the servants |
| Biggest hats in town |
| will make me discover |
| they would ask me for advice |
| like a wise Solomon |
| please rabi tavié |
| excuse rabi tavie |
| miles problem to stick |
| Chief Rabbi Boi Boi… |
| let me say white |
| let me say black |
| you'll have to believe me |
| when you're rich |
| you are always right |
| if I were rich |
| I would have finally |
| all the time to go |
| pray at the synagogue |
| seated in the 1st row |
| I will see well |
| and I would discuss |
| the law with the elders |
| at least 7 hours a day |
| in reflection and in death |
| Ah if I were rich |
| diguedadedadedadedadedadedadedaaaah! |
| every day I |
| diguediguedoum ah if I were rich! |
| hey! |
| goodbye cart |
| diguedidedaydedaydedaydeday |
| God who made the sky and the stars |
| would it have hurt you |
| to change your phenomenal plan |
| and, and make me rich, me |
