On chante
We sing
Pour les moches
For the ugly ones
Les généreux, les frustrés
The generous, the frustrated
Et les bléssés
And the wounded
Oh, on danse
Oh, we dance
Pour les coiffeurs
For the hairdressers
Les vierges, les dieux
The virgins, the gods
Les travestis du monde entier
The transvestites from all over the world
Refrain:
Chorus:
Mais on a seulement besoin
But all we need is
De mots pour dire
Words to say
Salut, ça va
Hello, how's it going
On t'a appris
They taught you
Pour qui tu devais avoir pitié
Who you should have pity for
Et pour qui tu dois pleurer
And for whom you must cry
Refrain: x2
Chorus: x2
Mais on a seulement besoin
But we only need
De mots pour te dire
Words to tell you
Salut, ça va
Hello, how's it going
On pense
We think
On pense a tata Christine
We think of Aunt Christine
Son mari, sa voisine
Her husband, her neighbor
Et marcel qui porte la lingerie
And Marcel who wears the lingerie
Oh, je chante
Oh, I sing
Pour ceux qu'on aime
For those we love
Mais qui ne savent pas le dire
But who don't know how to say it
Refrain: x2
Chorus: x2
Mais on a seulement besoin
But we only need
De mots pour te dire
Words to tell you
Salut, ça va
Hey, how's it going
