Accordéon(original) |
Dieu que la vie est cruelle |
Au musicien des ruelles |
Son copain, son compagnon |
C’est l’accordéon |
Qui c’est-y qui l’aide à vivre |
À s’asseoir quand il s’enivre |
C’est-y vous, c’est moi, mais non |
C’est l’accordéon |
Accordez accordez accordez donc |
L’aumône à l’accordé l’accordéon |
Ils sont comme cul et chemise |
Et quand on les verbalise |
Il accompagne au violon |
Son accordéon |
Il passe une nuit tranquille |
Puis au matin il refile |
Un peu d’air dans les poumons |
De l’accordéon |
Accordez accordez accordez donc |
L’aumône à l’accordé, l’accordéon |
Quand parfois il lui massacre |
Ses petits boutons de nacre |
Il en fauche à son veston |
Pour l’accordéon |
Lui, emprunte ses bretelles |
Pour secourir la ficelle |
Qui retient ses pantalons |
En accordéon |
Accordez accordez accordez donc |
L’aumône à l’accordé, l’accordéon |
Mais un jour par lassitude |
Il laissera la solitude |
Se pointer à l’horizon |
De l’accordéon |
Il en tirera cinquante |
Centimes à la brocante |
Et on fera plus attention |
À l’accordéon |
(translation) |
God life is cruel |
To the backstreet musician |
Her boyfriend, her companion |
It's the accordion |
Who is it that helps him to live |
To sit when he gets drunk |
It's you, it's me, but no |
It's the accordion |
grant grant grant therefore grant |
Alms giving the accordion |
They are like ass and shirt |
And when we verbalize them |
He accompanies on the violin |
His accordion |
He's having a quiet night |
Then in the morning he refils |
A little air in the lungs |
accordion |
grant grant grant therefore grant |
Alms giving, accordion |
When sometimes he slaughters her |
Her little mother-of-pearl buttons |
He takes some from his jacket |
For the accordion |
He borrows his braces |
To rescue the string |
Who holds up his pants |
Accordion |
grant grant grant therefore grant |
Alms giving, accordion |
But one day out of weariness |
He will leave loneliness |
Pointing to the horizon |
accordion |
He'll get fifty |
Pennies at the flea market |
And we'll pay more attention |
On the accordion |
