L'aut' jour min biau frère i vient m'vir à l'mason
The other day my dear brother came to see me at home
I m'dit comm' cha Marcel ti qui n'az janmais sorti
He told me like this, Marcel who's never been out
En'main j'vas à Paris bé si té veux viens avec mi
Tomorrow I'm going to Paris, well if you want, come with me
Pinsez si j'tos contint mi qui n'sus janmais sorti
Think if I can't hold it in, I've never been out
Pus lon qué d'min pat'lin infin j'd'allos vir Paris
The longer I’m away from my little town, the more I want to see Paris
In visit'ra tous chès meusées paraît qu'ch'est biau à vir
We'll visit all these museums, they say it's beautiful to see
L'lenn'main nous v'là parti min bieu-frère et m'sœur pis mi
The next morning, there we go, my dear brother, my sister, and me
O' sonmes arrivés su l'cop d'dix-heures et n'mi
We arrived at the stroke of ten and there we were
El' premièr' cosse à fair' qui m'dit ch'est d'aller boire un d'mi
The first thing to do is to tell me to go have a drink
Car pour un ch'ti mi chou qui compt' ch'est sin d'mi
Because for a little one like me, who counts, it is his turn
Quind un ch'ti mi i-est d'sorti
When a little guy comes out to play
Quo qui bot à vou n'avis
What's bothering you, my friend?
I bot un d'mi
He's got half a mind
I bot un d'mi
He's got half a mind
Quind in ch'ti mi i-est in nache
When this little guy is in a bad spot
Pou s'ardonner du courache
To give himself some courage
I bot un d'mi
He's got half a mind
I bot un d'mi
He's got half a mind
Et pis l'jour dù qu'cha va mal
And then the day when things go awry
Pou s'arcrinquer sins moral
To crank himself up without any morale
I bot un d'mi
I bought a half
I bot un d'mi
I bought a half
Eun' pression ed' jus d'houblon
A pressure of hop juice
Tint qu'cha mouss' ch'est tout du bon
While your foam is all good
I bot un d'mi
I bought a half
I bot un d'mi
I bought a half
Au preme café o' sonmes rintrès
At the first café where we came in
Un monhomme in noir et blanc i s'amène d'ssus nous
A man in black and white is coming over us
Et i nous fait comm' cha: "Pour messieurs-dame qu'est-ce que ce s'ra?"
And he tells us like this: "For gentlemen-ladies, what will it be?"
Eh bé min tiot lout' té vas nous mett'tros d'mis
Eh well my little one, you're going to put us in a half
I m'rawêt' d'un drôl' d'œul i n'avot rin compris
I'm telling you, with a funny look, he didn't understand anything
Trint' six cops j'a du i dir' qué ç' qu'in volot ch'tot tros d'mis
Thirty-six times I had to tell him what he wanted from me
Car pour un ch'ti mi chou qui compt' ch'est sin d'mi
Because for a little girl who counts, it's her choice
Quind un ch'ti mi i-est d'sorti
When a little girl comes out
Quo qui bot à vou n'avis
What does that matter to you?
I bot un d'mi
It matters to me
I bot un d'mi
It matters to me
Quind in ch'ti mi i-est in nache
When a little girl is in the game
Pou s'ardonner du courache
To give courage to the heart
I bot un d'mi
It matters to me
I bot un d'mi
I bought a half
Et pis l'jour dù qu'cha va mal
And then the day when everything goes bad
Pou s'arcrinquer sins moral
To get a bit tipsy, no morals
I bot un d'mi
I bought a half
I bot un d'mi
I bought a half
Eun' pression ed' jus d'houblon
A pressure of hop juice
Tint qu'cha mouss' ch'est tout du bon
As long as it foams, it's all good
I bot un d'mi
I bought a half
I bot un d'mi
I bought a half
Quind un ch'ti mi i-est d'sorti
When a little friend has come out
Quo qui bot à vou n'avis
What do you see in my eyes?
I bot un d'mi
I bought myself a drink.
I bot un d'mi
I bought myself a drink.
Quind in ch'ti mi i-est in nache
When in this life there's a hitch,
Pou s'ardonner du courache
To give you back some courage.
I bot un d'mi
I bought myself a drink.
I bot un d'mi
I bought myself a drink.
Et pis l'jour dù qu'cha va mal
And then the day when everything goes wrong,
Pou s'arcrinquer sins moral
To get back up without a soul.
I bot un d'mi
I bought myself a drink.
I bot un d'mi
I bought a half
Eun' pression ed' jus d'houblon
A press of hop juice
Tint qu'cha mouss' ch'est tout du bon
As long as your foam, it's all good
I bot un d'mi
I bought a half
I bot un d'mi
I bought a half
Eun' pression ed' jus d'houblon
A press of hop juice
Tint qu'cha mouss' ch'est tout du bon
As long as your foam, it's all good
I bot un d'mi
I bought a half
I bot un d'mi
I bought a half
