Mr.William (original)Mr.William (translation)
C'était vraiment un employé modèle Monsieur William He was truly a model employee Mr. William
Toujours exact et toujours plein de zèle Monsieur William Always exact and always full of zeal Mr. William
Il arriva jusqu'à la quarantaine sans fredaine He made it to his forties without a frenzy
Sans le moindre petit drame mais un beau soir du mois d’août, il faisait si Without the slightest bit of drama but on a beautiful evening in August it looked so
beau il faisait si doux beautiful it was so mild
Que Monsieur William s’en alla flâner droit devant lui au hasard et voila! That Mr. William strolled right in front of him at random and voila!
Monsieur William vous manquez de tenue, qu’alliez-vous faire dans la treizième Sir William you're out of dress, what were you going to do in the thirteenth
avenue avenue
Il rencontra une fille bien jeunette Monsieur William He met a very young girl Mr. William
Il lui paya un bouquet de violettes Monsieur William He paid her a bouquet of violets Monsieur William
Il l’entraîna à l’hôtel de la pègre mais un nègre a voulu prendre la femme He dragged her to the mob hotel but a nigger wanted to take the wife
Monsieur William.Mr William.
hors de lui, lui a donné des coups de parapluie beside himself, kicked him with the umbrella
Oui mais le nègre dans le noir lui a coupé le cou en deux coups de rasoir Yes but the nigger in the dark cut his neck with two razor strokes
Eh!Hey!
William vous manquez de tenue mon vieux!William, you're out of clothes, old man!
qu’alliez-vous faire dans la what were you going to do in the
treizième avenue thirteenth avenue
Il a senti que c’est irrémédiable Monsieur William He felt it was irremediable Sir William
Il entendit déjà crier le diable Monsieur William He already heard the devil shout Mr. William
Aux alentours il n’y avait personne qu’un trombone Around there was no one but a paper clip
Chantant la peine des âmes un aveugle en gémissant Singing the pain of souls a blind man moaning
Sans le savoir a marché dans le sang puis dans la nuit a disparu Unknowingly walked in blood then in the night disappeared
C'était p’t'être le destin qui marchait dans les rues Maybe it was fate that walked the streets
Monsieur William vous manquez de tenue!Mr. William, you're out of clothes!
Vous êtes mort dans la treizième avenueYou died on Thirteenth Avenue
