Translation of the song lyrics Les Perroquets - Sacha Distel

Les Perroquets (original)

Un gros mari plein d’arrogance
Après deux mois et demi d’absence
Rentra chez lui plein de méfiance
Envers sa femme trop jolie
Il inspecta toutes les pièces
La questionna en vain sans cesse
Cherchant une preuve manifeste
Quand tout à coup il entendit
Son perroquet crier ceci:
Coco
Profitons-en, il est parti, parti, parti
Mon vieux mari
Profitons-en, il est parti, parti, parti
Cet abruti
Il entra dans une telle colère
Que tous les meubles en tremblèrent
Que l’perroquet dans sa volière
En demeura interloqué
Puis il couru conter sa peine
A son ami le plus fidèle
Qui se sentit devenir blême
En entendant son perroquet
Se mettre soudain à crier:
Coco
Profitons-en, il est parti, parti, parti
Mon vieux mari
Profitons-en, il est parti, parti, parti
Cet abruti
Le beau mari bombant le torse
Rouge de honte claqua la porte
En criant: Le diable m’emporte
Je m’en vais voir mon avocat
Et en soufflant comme un cloporte
Chez son avocat se transporte
Mais quand on sonna à la porte
Il entendit à l’intérieur
Deux perroquets crier en choeur
Coco
Profitons-en, il est parti, parti, parti
Mon vieux mari
Profitons-en, il est parti, parti, parti
Cet abruti

Les Perroquets (translation)

A fat husband full of arrogance
After two and a half months of absence
Returned home full of distrust
To his too pretty wife
He inspected all the rooms
Questioned her endlessly in vain
Looking for clear evidence
When suddenly he heard
His parrot scream this:
coconut
Let's enjoy it, it's gone, gone, gone
my old husband
Let's enjoy it, it's gone, gone, gone
This jerk
He got into such a rage
That all the furniture shook
Than the parrot in its aviary
In remained taken aback
Then he ran to tell his pain
To his most faithful friend
Who felt himself turning pale
Hearing his parrot
Suddenly start shouting:
coconut
Let's enjoy it, it's gone, gone, gone
my old husband
Let's enjoy it, it's gone, gone, gone
This jerk
The handsome husband puffing out his chest
Red with shame slammed the door
Shouting: The devil take me
I'm going to see my lawyer
And puffing like a woodlouse
At his lawyer's house
But when the doorbell rang
He heard inside
Two parrots shouting in chorus
coconut
Let's enjoy it, it's gone, gone, gone
my old husband
Let's enjoy it, it's gone, gone, gone
This jerk
