Lyrics of Patricia - La Rue Kétanou

Patricia (original)

Entre ses nuits blanches
Et ses coupes de champagnes
Ses semaines sans dimanche
Ses châteaux en Espagne
Elle a vécu centenaire
En 50 ans à peine
A semer des repères
Sur les chemins de la bohème
Comme elle était généreuse
Elle aurait bien voulu
Notre peine est joyeuse
Que le spectacle continue
On était ses sales gosses
Elle nous aimait d’amour
Elle nous bombait le torse
Nos vies changaient de cours
On tourne, tourne pas la page
On pense comme toi
Trop de chefs, trop de chefs
Pas assez, pas assez
De héya héya héya héya héya héya
Sans jamais vendre son âme
Ni celle des autres
Le bout du monde et Paname
Elle les mettait côte à côte
Elle s’est battu pour que vive
Le spectacle vivant
Elle prenait l’alternative
Et les indépendants
On tourne, tourne pas la page
On pense comme toi
Trop de chefs, trop de chefs
Pas assez, pas assez
De héya héya héya héya héya héya
Allons te soigner le cœur
A la Bellevilloise
Trinquer et faire honneur
A notre belle iroquoise
Ho ho Patricia
On tourne, tourne pas la page
On pense comme toi
Trop de chefs, trop de chefs
Pas assez, non pas assez
De héya héya héya héya héya héya

(translation)

Between her sleepless nights
And his glasses of champagne
His weeks without Sunday
His castles in Spain
She lived to be a hundred years old
In just 50 years
To sow landmarks
On the paths of bohemian
How generous she was
She would have liked
Our sorrow is joyful
The show must go on
We were his brats
She loved us
She was bulging out our chests
Our lives were changing course
We turn, don't turn the page
We think like you
Too many bosses, too many bosses
Not enough, not enough
De heya heya heya heya heya heya
Without ever selling his soul
Nor that of others
The end of the world and Panama
She put them side by side
She fought to live
The live performance
She took the alternative
And the independents
We turn, don't turn the page
We think like you
Too many bosses, too many bosses
Not enough, not enough
De heya heya heya heya heya heya
Let's heal your heart
At the Bellevilloise
Toast and bring honor
To our beautiful Iroquois
Ho ho Patricia
We turn, don't turn the page
We think like you
Too many bosses, too many bosses
Not enough, no not enough
De heya heya heya heya heya heya
