| Bonne figure (original) | Bonne figure (translation) |

| Quand tu foutras le camp | When you bugger off |
| Car tu foutras le camp | 'Cause you'll get the hell out |
| Quand te viendra du vent | When the wind comes to you |
| Dans les voiles | In the sails |
| Quand les palpitements | When the palpitations |
| Le temps de quelque temps | The time of some time |
| S’en iront doucement | Will go away slowly |
| En trimballe | On the go |
| Emporte loin d’ici | Take away from here |
| Les draps de notre lit | Our bed sheets |
| Et la nappe salie | And the soiled tablecloth |
| De la table | Of the table |
| Pourquoi pas | Why not |
| Je ferai bonne figure | I will look good |
| Quand bien mme pour toi | Even for you |
| Le pour qui le pour quoi | The for whom the for what |
| N’auraient que «parce que» | Would only have “because” |
| En rponse | In response |
| Quand tu me quitteras | When you leave me |
| This-moi que tu t’en vas | Tell me that you are leaving |
| Pour aller retrouver | To go find |
| D’autres mondes | other worlds |
| Ne me dtrompe pas | don't fool me |
| Ne me dtourne pas | Don't turn me away |
| Fasse que ma folie | Make my madness |
| Vagabonde | Wanderer |
| Pourquoi pas | Why not |
| Je ferai bonne figure | I will look good |
| Quand tu me reviendras | When you come back to me |
| Si tu me revenais | If you came back to me |
| Quand tu me sentiras | when you feel me |
| Trop seulbre | too lonely |
| Quand, de ton feu follet | When, from your will-o'-the-wisp |
| Par quelques ricochets | By a few ricochets |
| Tu me rebrlerais | You would burn me again |
| Prs de l’me | close to the soul |
| Toi, ma drle de vie | You, my funny life |
| Qui parfois me souris | Who sometimes smiles at me |
| Je te dirais merci | I would say thank you |
| Du voyage | Travel |
| Pourquoi pas | Why not |
| J’aurais fait bonne figure. | I would have looked good. |
