Le galérien(original) |
| Je m’souviens, ma mèr' m’aimait |
| Et je suis aux galères |
| Je m’souviens ma mèr' disait |
| Mais je n’ai pas cru ma mère |
| Ne traîn' pas dans les ruisseaux |
| T’bats pas comme un sauvage |
| T’amuses pas comm' les oiseaux |
| Ell' me disait d'être sage |
| J’ai pas tué, j’ai pas volé |
| J’voulais courir la chance |
| J’ai pas tué, j’ai pas volé |
| J’voulais qu’chaqu' jour soit dimanche |
| Je m’souviens ma mèr' pleurait |
| Dès qu’je passais la porte |
| Je m’souviens comme ell’pleurait |
| Ell' voulait pas que je sorte |
| Toujours, toujours ell' disait |
| T’en vas pas chez les filles |
| Fais donc pas toujours c’qui t’plait |
| Dans les prisons y a des grilles |
| J’ai pas tué, j’ai pas volé |
| Mais j’ai cru Madeleine |
| J’ai pas tué, j’ai pas volé |
| J’voulais pas lui fair’de peine |
| Un jour les soldats du roi |
| T’emmen’ront aux galères |
| Tu t’en iras trois par trois |
| Comme ils ont emmn’nés ton père |
| Tu auras la têt' rasée |
| On te mettra des chaînes |
| T’en auras les reins brisés |
| Et moi j’en mourrai de peine |
| J’ai pas tué, j’ai pas volé |
| Mais j’ai pas cru ma mère |
| Et je m’souviens qu’ell' m’aimait |
| Pendant qu’je rame aux galères |
| Je m’souviens ma mèr' disait |
| Suis pas les bohémiennes |
| Je m’souviens comme ell' disait |
| On ramass' les gens qui traînent |
| Un jour les soldats du roi |
| T’emmen’ront aux galères |
| Tu t’en iras trois par trois |
| Comme ils ont emmn’nés ton père |
| Tu auras la têt' rasée |
| On te mettra des chaînes |
| T’en auras les reins brisés |
| Et moi j’en mourrai de peine |
| Toujours, toujours tu ram’ras |
| Quand tu s’ras aux galères |
| Toujours toujours tu ram’ras |
| Tu pens’ras p’t'ètre à ta mère |
| J’ai pas tué, j’ai pas volé |
| Mais j’ai pas cru ma mère |
| Et je m’souviens qu’ell' m’aimait |
| Pendant qu’je rame aux galères |
| (translation) |
| I remember, my mother loved me |
| And I'm in trouble |
| I remember my mother said |
| But I didn't believe my mother |
| Don't hang out in the streams |
| Don't fight like a savage |
| Don't have fun like the birds |
| She told me to be good |
| I didn't kill, I didn't steal |
| I wanted to run the chance |
| I didn't kill, I didn't steal |
| I wanted every day to be Sunday |
| I remember my mother was crying |
| As soon as I walked through the door |
| I remember how she cried |
| She didn't want me to go out |
| Always, always she said |
| Don't go to the girls |
| Don't always do what you like |
| In the prisons there are railings |
| I didn't kill, I didn't steal |
| But I believed Madeleine |
| I didn't kill, I didn't steal |
| I didn't want to hurt him |
| One day the king's soldiers |
| Will take you to the galleys |
| You will go away three by three |
| As they took away your father |
| You will have your head shaved |
| We'll put you in chains |
| You will have your back broken |
| And I will die of pain |
| I didn't kill, I didn't steal |
| But I didn't believe my mother |
| And I remember that she loved me |
| While I row in the galleys |
| I remember my mother said |
| Don't follow the gypsies |
| I remember how she said |
| We pick up the people who hang around |
| One day the king's soldiers |
| Will take you to the galleys |
| You will go away three by three |
| As they took away your father |
| You will have your head shaved |
| We'll put you in chains |
| You will have your back broken |
| And I will die of pain |
| Always, always you ram'ras |
| When you go to the galleys |
| Always always you ram'ras |
| You might be thinking about your mother |
| I didn't kill, I didn't steal |
| But I didn't believe my mother |
| And I remember that she loved me |
| While I row in the galleys |
