Ma grand mere etait garde barriere (original)Ma grand mere etait garde barriere (translation)
Ma grand-mère était garde-barrière My grandmother was a gatekeeper
Tous les garçons du pays étaient amoureux All the boys in the country were in love
De son teint couleur de lys et de ses yeux bleus Of her lily-colored complexion and her blue eyes
En l’absence de son mari, que de rendez-vous étaient pris In the absence of her husband, how many appointments were made
Et c'étaient de folles caresses entre l’office, le rapide et l’express And it was crazy caresses between the office, the fast and the express
Mais quand son amoureux devenait trop pressant But when her lover got too pushy
Elle baissait les yeux d’un air décent She lowered her eyes decently
Permettez, disait grand-mère, Allow, said Grandmother,
Faut que j’aille fermer ma barrière Gotta go close my gate
Avec son drapeau, sa p’tite trompette, son grand chapeau, With his flag, his little trumpet, his big hat,
Son joli corsage à carreaux, Her pretty checkered bodice,
Elle fermait l' passage à niveau She was closing the level crossing
Et tandis que le train passait And as the train passed
Elle réfléchissait, She was thinking,
Réfléchissait Was thinking
Et les yeux baissés, grand-mère rougissait, And with lowered eyes, Grandma blushed,
Rougissait was blushing
Saura-t-on jamais ce que tu penses? Will we ever know what you're thinking?
Ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah
Saura-t-on jamais ce que tu penses Will we ever know what you're thinking
En silence? Silently?
Avec ton drapeau, ta p’tite trompette, ton grand chapeau, With your flag, your little trumpet, your big hat,
T'étais la reine des passages à niveau You were the queen of the crossings
Entre Paris et Bordeaux Between Paris and Bordeaux
Mais grand-mère était trop familière But grandma was too familiar
Et tous les p’tits racontars And all the little gossip
Et les p’tits potins And the little gossip
Circulaient de gare en gare Went from station to station
Allant à bon train, going well,
Tous les trains ralentissaient d’vant sa barrièreAll the trains slowed down in front of his barrier
Quand ils passaient When they passed
Et tous les voyageurs, aux f’nêtres, And all the travellers, at the windows,
Lui envoyaient des billets doux et des lettres Sent her love notes and letters
Mais quand son amoureux voulait trop insister But when her lover wanted to insist too much
La sonnette se mettait à tinter The doorbell was ringing
Et grand-mère dressait l’oreille: And grandma pricked up her ears:
Voilà l' train dix de Marseille Here is the train ten from Marseille
Entre Paris et Bordeaux.Between Paris and Bordeaux.
