Les cerises de monsieur Clément (original)Les cerises de monsieur Clément (translation)
Un certain Clément Jean Baptiste A certain Clement Jean Baptiste
Qui habitait rue Saint-Vincent Who lived in rue Saint-Vincent
Voulant écrire un compliment Want to write a compliment
Trempa sa plume dans le sang Dipped his feather in blood
Qu’elles étaient rouges les cerises That they were red the cherries
Que nous chantait Monsieur Clément That Monsieur Clément sang to us
C'était plus beau qu’un Evangile It was more beautiful than a Gospel
C'était des mots de maintenant Those were words of now
Mais il faudrait que nos enfants But our children should
N’attendent pas comme on attend Don't wait like we wait
Qu’elles mûrissent les cerises Let the cherries ripen
Que nous chantait Monsieur Clément That Monsieur Clément sang to us
Bien sûr c’est difficile Of course it is difficult
De mourir quand on a vingt ans To die when you're twenty
Mais pour quelques cerises But for a few cherries
Que ne ferait-on au printemps What wouldn't we do in the spring
De République en République From Republic to Republic
Toujours cocu toujours content Always cuckold always happy
On applaudit les bons truands We applaud the good mobsters
Au ventre rond au ventre blanc Round-bellied white-bellied
Qui nous revendent les cerises Who sell us the cherries
Qu’avait rêvé Monsieur Clément What had Monsieur Clément dreamed of
Tous ces pontifes des Eglises All these pontiffs of the Churches
Tous ces suiveurs de régiments All these regimental followers
Voudront nous manger tout vivant Will want to eat us alive
Mais ils se casseront les dents But they'll break their teeth
Sur les noyaux de ces cerises On the pits of these cherries
Du verger de Monsieur Clément From Monsieur Clement's Orchard
Bien sûr c’est difficile Of course it is difficult
De mourir quand on a vingt ans To die when you're twenty
Mais pour quelques cerises But for a few cherries
Que ne ferait-on au printempsWhat wouldn't we do in the spring
