Le vieux singe (original)Le vieux singe (translation)
J’amus' les goss’s, je perds mes poils I entertain the kids, I lose my hair
J’ai la grimace commerciale I have the commercial grimace
J’fais mon mtier I do my job
De chimpanz From chimpanz
Mais si je joue aujourd’hui But if I play today
De l’orgue de Barbarie From the barrel organ
Moi, j’ai suivi pas plus haut qu’a Me, I followed no higher than a
Mon pre sur les baobabs My father on the baobabs
Il m’a perdu, je suis tomb He lost me, I fell
Sur des sauvag’s civiliss On civilized savages
Qui m’ont tran sur l’ocan Who dragged me on the ocean
Un' fort d’eau, un fleuv' gant A fort of water, a river, a glove
Qui s’jette en Franc' prs de Bordeaux Who throws himself in Franc 'near Bordeaux
Pas loin de Mdrano Not far from Mdrano
C’est pas moi, bonne gens It's not me, good people
Qu’on apprend What we learn
A fair' la grimace To make a face
C’est pas moi qu’on apprend sur quell' patte il faut danser It's not me that we learn on which leg to dance
Il faut pas croire Don't believe
J’ai connu la gloire I have known glory
Et si a passe What if it happens
a m’est bien gal it suits me
C’est dj pas mal It's not bad
Qu’elle soit passe Let it pass
J’ai connu la saison des pluies I have known the rainy season
Cell' des ts loin du pays Cell' of the ts far from the country
Pour oublier To forget
J’ai travaill I worked
Et j’ai si bien travaill And I worked so well
Que j’ai vraiment oubli That I really forgot
Et on a vu du jamais vu Le singe barb', le singe obus And we saw unheard of The bearded monkey, the shell monkey
Quand je faisais le saut d’la mort When I was taking the leap of death
Les gens criaient «Encore-Encore «Quand les ringards se dfilaient People were yelling "Encore-Encore" when the nerds paraded
Moi, je travaillais sans filet Me, I was working without a net
On m’a copi I have been copied
C’est le mtier That's the job
Mais jamais gal But never gal
C’est pas moi, bonnes gens It's not me, good people
Qu’on apprend What we learn
A fair' la grimace To make a face
C’est pas moi qu’on apprend sur quell' patte il faut danser It's not me that we learn on which leg to dance
Il faut pas croire Don't believe
J’ai connu la gloire I have known glory
Et si a passe What if it happens
a m’est bien gal it suits me
C’est dj pas mal It's not bad
Qu’ell' soit passe Let it pass
Un jour on n’a plus cri «bis «Y a pas d’zoo Ris-Orangis One day we no longer shouted "bis" There's no Ris-Orangis zoo
Et puis d’ailleurs And then by the way
A votr' bon cњur To your good heart
La fac' cache de l’affiche The university hides the poster
Mme un vieux singe s’en fiche Mrs. an old monkey doesn't care
C’est pas moi, bonnes gens qu’on apprend fair' la grimace It's not me, good people that we learn to make faces
C’est pas moi qu’on apprend sur quell' patte il faut danser It's not me that we learn on which leg to dance
Et si ce soir, ce n’est pas la gloire si le temps passe And if tonight it's not glory if time passes
a m’est bien gal, a n’me fait plus mal, c’est du pass.it's fine with me, it doesn't hurt me anymore, it's gone.
