Ch’méneu d’quévaux lyrics with English translation

In n'peut pas s'mette dins l'idée

We can't put our minds to it

Chou qu'ch'est qu'd'aller m'ner ch'bidet

Wow, what's going on with that goat of mine

Aussi vrai que j'appelle Nénesse

As sure as I call Nénesse

J'mène un qu'vau qui file comme l'espress

I ride a horse that runs like the express

Quand j'l'attelle sus min train d'balles

When I hitch him to my train of balls

Sitôt eul'vla qui s'imballe

Soon there he goes, losing his mind

Plus que j'saque sus ch'l'afilée

The more I try to keep him on track

I n'arrête pos d'filer

He just won't stop speeding

Si qu'i accroche einne féniesse

If he catches a stubborn lady

I arrache tout ins s'vitesse

He tears everything apart with his speed

Quand i sint l'train d'balles déhors

When the train of bullets is outside

Pour saquer i'ardoupe d'efforts

To suck the hard efforts

Des fos j'arrive à ch'treul

Sometimes I manage to be a fool

J'n'ai pus qu'des barrous sans reules

I only have rags without wheels

Ch'n'est point toudis rigolo

It's not always funny

D'êt' méneu d'quévaux

To be a driver of horses

A faire du soixante à l'heure

At sixty miles an hour

Min qu'vau i'est tout in sueur

While I'm drenched in sweat

Qu'in n'i'attelle deux trains d'balles d'un coup

As if we could hitch two trains of bullets at once

Sans r'noucher i vous saqu'ra tout

Without renouncing, it will suck you dry

Et filochant comme l'éclair

And shimmering like a flash of lightning

Les reules i n'touch'té plus l'fer

The rails no longer touch the iron

Ej'sorte dire tout partout qui passe

I sort of say everything everywhere that passes

"Gare o bien j't'ecrasse "

"Watch out or I'll crush you"

In m'a d'jà artrouvé

One already found me

D'zous min train d'balles dins ch'carné

In your mini train of bullets in this meat

Comme l'aut'jour eud'vive allure

Like the other day with that lively pace

Allant au burre Tiote Biture

Going to the bar, Little Drunk

Ech'quévau i'arrive si fèle

That horse arrives so fierce

Qu'i a monté chinq mètes d'équelle

That it climbed five meters of whatever

Ch'n'est point toudis riglolo

It's not always a joke,

D'êt méneu d'quévaux

To be a beast of a horse.

Mais il a eun' sal' manière

But he has a dirty way,

Comme i m'tourn' toudis l'derrière

Like he always turns his back on me.

Levant s'queue tout in visant m'tiête

Lifting his tail right in front of my head,

D'un coup d'vint i invol' em' barette

With a swing, he gets me with his barrette.

De ch'barrou comme un furieux

From that place like a furious guy,

Ej'bouche s'fuite j'appuie sus s'queue

I cover the escape, I press on his tail.

In r'niflant tout l'long de l'bowette

Sniffing all along the bow,

Eul parfum de l'sal'biête

The scent of the dirty beast.

In n'peut pas taper d'sus

We can't hit on it

Pour li s'inrvinger i rue

To him, it's like bending over in the street

I vaut mieux ed'tous ses vices

It's better to embrace all his vices

Fermer s'bouqu' et prind' eun' prise

Close your mouth and take a hold

Et c'qu'i a d'gravé dins s'tiête

And what's engraved in his mind

I faut qu'cha craque ou ben qu'cha pète

You have to crack or you explode

Ch'n'est point toudis riglolo

It's not always funny

D'êt méneu d'quévaux

To be the driver of horses

Mais v'là qu'el'semaine dernière

But there, last week

Arrife eul'vétérinaire

The veterinarian arrived

V'là ti pas qu'avot plein d'épate

Look at that, they've got us all amazed

Min quévau i'avot chinq pattes

But my horse used to have five legs

El'lend'main z'ingénieurs s'amin'nent

The next morning, engineers arrive

Pour constater l'phénomin'ne

To observe the phenomenon

Faut i faire i dit l'maréchal

You have to do it, says the marshal

In fer es'spécial

It's a special iron

In riot ed'sin sort

A riot of sorts

In arvettiant s'patte arsort

A twist to an unexpected paw

All'est automatique

It's all automatic

All'rinte all'sort a's'rintique

Everything goes out to the antique

Ch'est comme un parapluie

It's like an umbrella

Qui s'oufe, qui s'ferme, qui s'arplie

That opens up, that closes, that folds

Ah mon Dieu qu'ch'tot rigolo

Ah my God, how funny it is

Quand j'tos m'neu d'quévaux

When I turn to look at you

Ah mon Dieu qu'ch'tot rigolo

Ah my God, how funny it is

Quand j'tos m'neu d'quévaux

When I turn to look at you
