Johnny Monfarleau(original) |
| Messieurs et Mesdames |
| Veuillez m’excuser si par un coup de théâtre |
| Je suis mal habillé ou si mal vêtu |
| Je n’ai point d’argent pour payer |
| Fa di dou daille, Fa di dou dai |
| Fa di dou daille di dou daille da dai |
| Fa di dou daille, Fa di dou dai |
| Fa di dou daille di dou dai |
| Fa di dou daille, Fa di dou dai |
| Fa di dou dailledi dou daille da dai |
| Fa di dou daille, Fa di dou dai |
| Fa di dou daille di dou dai |
| Johnny Monfarleau passait dans la rue |
| Avec une punaise qu'était grosse comme un veau |
| Il a pris sa peau pour en faire un capot: |
| Hourrah! |
| Pour Johnny Monfarleau… |
| Avec sa viande, ainsi que ses os |
| Je me suis décidé de faire un tricot |
| J’ai tout invité: les parents, les amis |
| Ainsi que Johnny Monfarleau… |
| Je l’ai vu à Gaspé se promener |
| Ce pauvre vieux en char à bœufs |
| Sa jupe de côté, sa ceinture percée: |
| Hourrah! |
| Pour Johnny Monfarleau! |
| Quand j'étais tout p’tit gars, à la messe du Cap Chat |
| Il me menait à l'église avec sa jument grise |
| Sa vieille carriole de peau de popiau |
| Hourrah! |
| Pour Johnny Monfarleau! |
| Depuis le mois d’octobre, puis dans les forêts |
| En costume de bain garni en peau de lapin |
| Avec sa vieille couverte tricotée au crochet |
| Hourrah! |
| Pour Johnny Monfarleau! |
| Je l’ai vu allant par de-ci, par là |
| Il se promène en pyjama |
| Sa veste de castor traînant sur le traineau |
| Hourrah! |
| Pour Johnny Monfarleau! |
| (translation) |
| Gentlemen and Ladies |
| Please excuse me if by a twist |
| I'm badly dressed or so badly dressed |
| I have no money to pay |
| Fa di dou daille, Fa di dou dai |
| Fa di dou daille di dou daille da dai |
| Fa di dou daille, Fa di dou dai |
| Fa di dou daille di dou dai |
| Fa di dou daille, Fa di dou dai |
| Fa di dou dailledi dou daille da dai |
| Fa di dou daille, Fa di dou dai |
| Fa di dou daille di dou dai |
| Johnny Monfarleau was walking down the street |
| With a bug that was as big as a calf |
| He took his skin to make a hood: |
| Hooray! |
| For Johnny Monfarleau… |
| With its meat, as well as its bones |
| I decided to do a knit |
| I invited everything: parents, friends |
| As well as Johnny Monfarleau… |
| I saw him in Gaspé walking |
| That poor old man in an ox cart |
| Her side skirt, her pierced belt: |
| Hooray! |
| For Johnny Monfarleau! |
| When I was a little boy, at the Mass at Cap Chat |
| He took me to church with his gray mare |
| His old cart of popiau skin |
| Hooray! |
| For Johnny Monfarleau! |
| Since October, then in the forests |
| In a bathing suit trimmed with rabbit skin |
| With her old crocheted blanket |
| Hooray! |
| For Johnny Monfarleau! |
| I saw him go this way, that way |
| He walks around in his pajamas |
| His beaver jacket dragging on the sleigh |
| Hooray! |
| For Johnny Monfarleau! |
