La Remueuse Lyrics in English by Aldebert
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Remueuse by Aldebert from French to English.
Salut à toi le marchand de sable
Hey there, sandman
Tu vas rire: j'ai pas sommeil
You're gonna laugh: I'm not sleepy
Si on dansait sur les tables
What if we danced on the tables
Ce soir encore : j'ai les abeilles
Tonight again: I'm buzzing with energy
C'est comme si j'avais trempé
It's as if I had dipped
Des kiwis dans du kawa
Kiwis in some coffee
Un cyclone s'est installé
A cyclone has settled
Dans mon pyjama
In my pajamas
T'as qu'à venir avec ton sable, on fera un château ou deux
Just come with your sand, we'll make a castle or two
Tu trouves ça regrettable, mais qu'est-ce que tu veux
You find that regrettable, but what do you want
Cette chanson n'est pas une berceuse
This song isn't a lullaby
Mais son contraire en stéréo
But its opposite in stereo
Son petit nom : « la remueuse »
Its nickname: "the shaker"
Elle secoue comme au rodéo
It shakes like at the rodeo
Salut à toi le marchand de sable
Hey there, sandman
Désolé, tu vas me maudire
Sorry, you're gonna curse me
Je vais te raconter la fable
I'm gonna tell you the fable
Du p'tit cow-boy qui pouvait pas dormir
Of the little cowboy who couldn't sleep
J'ai tellement les yeux ouverts
My eyes are so open
Que j'ai l'air d'être étonné
That I look surprised
Si la nuit porte conseil
If the night brings advice
Tu devrais en profiter
You should take advantage of it
Ne fais pas ton pied tendre
Don't be a tenderfoot
Et viens donc manger un clown
And come on, let's be silly
Ce soir on va nous entendre
Tonight they're gonna hear us
Jusqu'au fond du saloon
To the back of the saloon
Ca pétarade! Ça dandine!
It bangs! It waddles!
Ça gigote! Ça frétille!
It wiggles! It wriggles!
Ca tornade! Ça fulmine!
It tornadoes! It rages!
Ça ballote! Ça rugit!
It jostles! It roars!
Salut à toi le marchand de sable
Hey there, sandman
Pose ton seau et même si
Put down your bucket and even if
Nos parents vont péter un câble
Our parents are gonna blow a fuse
On n'est pas prêt d'aller au lit
We're not ready to go to bed
J'ai une de ces patates !
I've got so much energy!
Comme un ressort mais en plus fort
Like a spring but stronger
Je pourrais avec une savate
I could with a slipper
Assommer un alligator
Knock out an alligator
Connais-tu cette chanson
Do you know this song
Qui réveille les p'tits garçons ?
That wakes up the little boys?
Connais-tu cette mélodie
Do you know this melody
Qui réveille les petites filles ?
That wakes up the little girls?
Ca pétarade! Ça dandine !
It bangs! It waddles!
Ça gigote ! Ça frétille !
It wiggles! It wriggles!
Ca tornade ! Ça fulmine !
It tornadoes! It rages!
Ça ballote! Ça rugit!
It jostles! It roars!
Ça, klaxonne ! Ça banane !
It honks! It goes bananas!
Ça tempête ! Ça remue !
It storms! It stirs!
Ça résonne ! Ça déclame !
It echoes! It declaims!
Ca s'arrête non ! Ca continue !
It stops... no! It continues!

Did you like this lyrics translation?
La remueuse — The shaker / The stirrer
La remueuse literally translates to "the shaker" or "the stirrer." It's a playful and unique word that isn't commonly found in everyday French vocabulary or songs.
In this song, it's personified as the name of a song that is the opposite of a lullaby. It's a song that "secoue comme au rodéo" (shakes like a rodeo), implying it's energetic, lively, and keeps you awake rather than putting you to sleep. This makes it a memorable and intriguing title for a song about not wanting to sleep.
