| Si tu m’avais dit ce soir je vais chez John
| If you had told me tonight I'm going to John's
|
| Je n’aurais pas donné vingt-trois coup de téléphone
| I wouldn't have given twenty-three phone calls
|
| Si tu m’avais dit que t’allais danser chez lui
| If you had told me you were going to dance at his house
|
| Je ne serais pas devenu cinglé
| I wouldn't have gone crazy
|
| J’aurais pas crevé les pneus de tes amis
| I wouldn't have punctured your friends' tires
|
| Et j’aurais pas sorti tous les crooneurs d’Orly
| And I wouldn't have taken all the crooners out of Orly
|
| Si tu m’avais dit je vais chez John
| If you had told me I'm going to John's
|
| Si tu voulais pas, oh oui, que je te soupçonne
| If you didn't want, oh yes, that I suspected you
|
| Fallait me dire voilà je vais chez John
| You should have told me here I go to John's
|
| En allant chez Johnny tu fais de mal à personne
| Going to Johnny's you're hurting nobody
|
| Mais bon sang je ne? | But damn it I don't? |
| pas
| not
|
| J’ai fais des dégâts, un drôle de fracas
| I did some damage, a funny crash
|
| Et j’ai ameuté tous les flics du quartier
| And I stirred up all the cops in the neighborhood
|
| Si tu m’avais dit je vais chez John
| If you had told me I'm going to John's
|
| Si tu voulais pas, oh oui, que je te soupçonne
| If you didn't want, oh yes, that I suspected you
|
| Fallait me dire voilà je vais chez John
| You should have told me here I go to John's
|
| En allant chez Johnny tu fais de mal à personne
| Going to Johnny's you're hurting nobody
|
| Mais moi, bon sang je ne? | But me, damn it I don't? |
| pas
| not
|
| J’ai fais des dégâts, un drôle de fracas
| I did some damage, a funny crash
|
| Et j’ai ameuté tous les flics du quartier
| And I stirred up all the cops in the neighborhood
|
| Si tu m’avais dit je vais chez John
| If you had told me I'm going to John's
|
| Si tu veux, baby, qu’un jour je te pardonne
| If you want, baby, that one day I forgive you
|
| Tous les embêtements que tu m’occasionne
| All the trouble you cause me
|
| N’oublie plus maintenant de prévenir ta bonne
| Now don't forget to tell your maid
|
| Quand y aura une boum chez John
| When will there be a boom at John's
|
| Et si tu veux faire encore mieux
| And if you want to do even better
|
| Et si tu veux vraiment que je sois très content
| And if you really want me to be very happy
|
| Laisse tomber ce bon John… | Forget good John... |
