Mon pot' le gitan (original)Mon pot' le gitan (translation)
Mon pote le gitan c´est un gars curieux My friend the gypsy is a curious guy
Une gueule toute noire, des carreaux tout bleus An all-black face, all-blue squares
Il reste des heures sans dire un seul mot He goes hours without saying a single word
Assis près du poêle au fond du bistrot Sitting by the stove in the back of the bistro
C´gars-là une roulotte s´promène dans sa tête This guy, a trailer is walking around in his head
Et quand elle voyage jamais ne s´arrête And when she travels never stops
Des tas d´paysages sortent de ses yeux Lots of landscapes come out of his eyes
Mon pote le gitan c´est un gars curieux My friend the gypsy is a curious guy
Mon pote le gitan, c´est pas un marrant My friend the gypsy, it is not a funny
Et dans notre bistrot personne le comprend And in our bistro nobody understands it
Comme tous ces gars-là il a sa guitare Like all these guys he has his guitar
Une guitare crasseuse qui vous colle le noir A grimy guitar that sticks the black on you
Quand y s´met à jouer la vieille roulotte When it starts to play the old trailer
Galope dans sa tête, les joueurs de belote Galloping in his head, belote players
S´arrêtent et plus rien… on a mal en dedans Stop and nothing... it hurts inside
Mon pote le gitan c´est pas un marrant My friend the gypsy is not a funny
Mon pote le gitan un jour est parti My homie the gypsy one day is gone
Et Dieu seul sait où il ballade sa vie And only God knows where he wanders his life
Ce type là était un grand musicien This guy was a great musician
Ça j´en étais sûr, moi je l´sentais bien I was sure of that, I felt good about it
Le tôlier m´a dit qu´on est venu l´chercher The sheet metal worker told me that we came to get him
Un grand music-hall voulait l´acheter A big music hall wanted to buy it
Mon pot´ le gitan il a refusé My friend the gypsy he refused
Un haussement d´épaules et il s´est taillé? A shrug and he's cut?
J´ai eu l´impression de perdre un ami I felt like I lost a friend
Et pourtant c´gars-là ne m´a jamais rien dit And yet that guy never said anything to me
Mais il m´a laissé un coin de sa roulotte But he left me a corner of his trailer
Et dans ma petite tête j´ai du rêve qui trotte And in my little head I have dreams running around
Sa drôle de musique en moi est restée His funny music in me stayed
Quand je pense à lui, m´arrive de chanter When I think of him, I happen to sing
Toi sacré gitan qui sentait l´cafard You holy gypsy who smelled of cockroaches
Au fond ta musique était pleine d´espoirDeep down your music was full of hope
