Voici, contée sur une valse musette,
Here, told through a musette waltz,
L'histoire en quelques mots
The story in a few words
Du beau roman d'une jeune midinette
Of the beautiful tale of a young girl
Et d'un p'tit Parigot
And a little Parisian lad.
Tous les refrains d'amour sont un peu bêtes,
All love refrains are a bit silly,
Celui là l'est aussi
This one is too.
Mais si vous r'prenez en chœur ma chansonnette,
But if you join in chorus with my little song,
Je vous dirai: Merci!
I'll say: Thank you!
Elle était jeune et belle,
She was young and beautiful,
Comm' de bien entendu!
As you might expect!
Il eut l'béguin pour elle
He had a crush on her
Comm' de bien entendu!
As you would expect!
Elle était demoiselle,
She was a young lady,
Comm' de bien entendu!
As you would expect!
Il se débrouilla pour qu'elle ne le soit plus!
He managed to make her no longer one!
Comm' de bien entendu!
As you would expect!
Ils se mirent en ménage
They set up house together,
Comm' de bien entendu!
As you would expect!
Elle avait du courage
She had courage,
Comm' de bien entendu!
As you would expect!
Il était au chômage,
He was unemployed,
Comm' de bien entendu!
As commonly understood!
Ça lui f'sait déjà un gentil p'tit rev'nu...
It already gave him a nice little income...
Comm' de bien entendu!
As commonly understood!
Voulant faire un' folie,
Wanting to do something crazy,
Comm' de bien entendu!
As commonly understood!
Il offrit à sa mie,
He offered to his darling,
Comm' de bien entendu!
As commonly understood!
Un billet d'la lot'rie,
A lottery ticket,
Comm' de bien entendu!
As commonly understood!
Ça n'lui fit jamais que cent ball's de perdues ...
It always cost him just a hundred bucks lost...
Comm' de bien entendu!
As was well understood!
Mais il se mit à boire
But he started to drink
Comm' de bien entendu!
As was well understood!
Ell' ne fit pas d'histoires,
She didn't make a fuss,
Comm' de bien entendu!
As was well understood!
Mais pour n'pas être un' poire,
But to not be a fool,
Comm' de bien entendu!
As was well understood!
Ell' se consola en le faisant cocu.
She consoled herself by cheating on him.
Comm' de bien entendu!
As was well understood!
Il la trouva mauvaise
He found her unsatisfactory
Comm' de bien entendu!
As if it were understood!
Mais elle ram'nait du pèze,
But she brought in the cash,
Comm' de bien entendu!
As if it were understood!
Au lieu de ram'ner sa fraise,
Instead of bringing her sweetness,
Comm' de bien entendu!
As if it were understood!
Il se contenta d'lui foutr' son pied au cul,
He simply gave her a kick in the ass,
Comm' de bien entendu!
As if it were understood!
Et, depuis, l'on raconte
And since then, they say
Comm' de bien entendu!
As if it were understood!
Qu'il y trouve son compte,
That he finds what he's looking for,
Comm' de bien entendu!
As is well understood!
Et, quand chez lui, on monte,
And when at home, they come up,
Comm' de bien entendu!
As is well understood!
Il s'en va faire un p'tit tour au P.M.U...
He goes for a little round at the P.M.U...
Comm' de bien entendu!
As is well understood!
