La chanson des mariniers(original) |
| Nous avons la barbe rousse |
| Le teint hâlé, les yeux clairs, |
| Nous, les matelots d’eau douce, |
| Nous, les marins sans la mer. |
| Refrain |
| Good morning et tralalaire |
| Farewell et tralala. |
| Les marins ont le beau rôle |
| Mais ne soyons pas amers |
| Notre vie est bien plus drôle |
| Ah! |
| S’ils n’avaient pas la mer. |
| Pour nous, c’est toujours Marseille |
| Encore Marseille et Bordeaux |
| Mais leur route est bien pareille |
| C’est toujours Valparaiso. |
| Comme c’est beau la rivière. |
| Eux n’ont rien à l’horizon. |
| Ils regrettent leur chaumière, |
| Nos bateaux sont nos maisons. |
| Z’ont des perroquets pour voiles |
| Nous n’en avons pas besoin |
| Avons les mêmes étoiles |
| Mais les nôtres sont moins loin. |
| Nous avons femmes et filles |
| Que nous ne quitterons plus |
| Mais, sans aller aux Antilles, |
| N’en sommes pas moins cocus. |
| Interprète: Jean Gabin (1930?) |
| (translation) |
| We have red beards |
| The tanned complexion, the clear eyes, |
| We, the freshwater sailors, |
| We sailors without the sea. |
| Chorus |
| Good morning and tralalaire |
| Farewell and tralala. |
| Sailors have the beautiful role |
| But let's not be bitter |
| Our life is much funnier |
| Ah! |
| If they didn't have the sea. |
| For us, it's always Marseille |
| More Marseilles and Bordeaux |
| But their way is just the same |
| It's still Valparaiso. |
| How beautiful the river is. |
| They have nothing on the horizon. |
| They miss their cottage, |
| Our boats are our homes. |
| They have parrots for sails |
| We don't need it |
| have the same stars |
| But ours are closer. |
| We have women and girls |
| That we won't leave |
| But, without going to the West Indies, |
| We are no less cuckolds. |
