Quelle Histoire De Fou ! Lyrics in English by Aldebert
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quelle Histoire De Fou ! by Aldebert from French to English.
De la fenêtre de la classe
From the classroom window
J'ai vue sur la cour de récré
I have a view of the playground
Quelque chose d'assez cocasse
Something quite funny
Est en train de se passer
Is happening right now
Il y a un ogre tout en lego
There's an ogre made entirely of Lego
Tricotant avec des endives
Knitting with endives
Assis sur un requin marteau
Sitting on a hammerhead shark
Qui fait des bulles de salive
That's blowing saliva bubbles
Je me retourne et bizarrement
I turn around and strangely
Dans la classe il n'y a que moi
In the classroom, there's only me
On a remplacé les enfants
They've replaced the children
Par des parents en pyjama
With parents in pajamas
Je leur crie «Regardez là bas »
I shout to them "Look over there"
Mais ils se tiennent par les oreilles
But they're holding their ears
En chantant « j'ai du bon tabac »
Singing "I have good tobacco"
A des ventriloques de Marseille
To ventriloquists from Marseille
Mes doigts de pied sont des valises
My toes are suitcases
Avec des dinosaures dedans
With dinosaurs inside
Qui quand on pique-nique à l'église
Who, when we picnic at church
Sucrent la tondeuse en chantant
Sugar the lawnmower while singing
C'est pas banal, quelle histoire de fou
It's not ordinary, what a crazy story
C'est pas normal mais ça, on s'en fout
It's not normal but we don't care about that
On se moque bien de savoir
We don't really care to know
Si cette histoire est fidèle
If this story is true
Car l'essentiel est d'avoir
Because the main thing is to have
Des idées plein la cervelle
A head full of ideas
En clignant des yeux je m'envole
By blinking my eyes I fly away
Mais le ciel est en confiture
But the sky is made of jam
Pour ne pas m'écraser au sol
So I don't crash to the ground
Je dois vendre des épluchures
I have to sell peelings
A un mammouth en bermuda
To a mammoth in Bermuda shorts
Qui pense que la vie est trop belle
Who thinks life is too beautiful
Pour se priver de Nutella
To deprive oneself of Nutella
Et de cloporte aux choux de Bruxelles
And woodlice with Brussels sprouts
Car pour convaincre Quasimodo
Because to convince Quasimodo
De colorier mon ombre tous les lundis
To color my shadow every Monday
Je dois détruire le Mac Do
I have to destroy McDonald's
A grand coup d'encyclopédie
With a big blow from an encyclopedia
Sinon toutes les tartes aux pruneaux
Otherwise all the prune tarts
Vont envahir le salon
Will invade the living room
Et l'on fera moins les malins
And we'll be less clever
Quand les poules auront des chaussons
When chickens wear slippers
C'est pas banal, quelle histoire de fou
It's not ordinary, what a crazy story
C'est pas normal mais ça, on s'en fout
It's not normal but we don't care about that
On se moque bien de savoir
We don't really care to know
Si cette histoire a du sens
If this story makes sense
Car l'essentiel est d'avoir
Because the main thing is to have
Le goût de la démence
The taste of madness
Super Mamie doit réparer
Super Granny must repair
L'ordinateur en cancoillotte
The Cancoillotte cheese computer
Si l'on veut partir en congés
If we want to go on vacation
Jouer au docteur sur la Mer Morte
To play doctor on the Dead Sea
Sans crottes de nez qui clignotent
Without blinking boogers
Car quand y' a du poil à la lune
Because when there's hair on the moon
C'est le bon moment pour offrir
It's the right time to offer
Des rhododendrons à Neptune
Rhododendrons to Neptune
Et de la salade aux menhirs
And salad to menhirs
A Pepette qui ne fait qu'écouter
To Pepette who only listens
Des mp3 de la star'ac
To Star Academy mp3s
Pour nous faire croire qu'elle a gagné
To make us believe she won
Un abribus en anorak
A bus shelter made of an anorak
Si je transpire en diagonale
If I sweat diagonally
Dans ce western spaghetti
In this spaghetti western
C'est pour éviter aux mygales
It's to prevent tarantulas
De téléphoner au Yéti
From calling the Yeti
C'est pas banal, quelle histoire de fou
It's not ordinary, what a crazy story
C'est pas normal mais ça, on s'en fout
It's not normal but we don't care about that
On se moque bien de savoir
We don't really care to know
Si cette histoire est honnête
If this story is honest
Car l'essentiel est d'y croire
Because the main thing is to believe in it
Sans se prendre la tête
Without overthinking it
On se moque bien de savoir
We don't really care to know
Si ça veut dire quelque chose
If it means something
Il faut se fendre la poire
You have to laugh your head off
Et voir la vie en rose
And see life through rose-tinted glasses
De la fenêtre de la classe
From the classroom window
J'ai vue sur la cour de récré
I have a view of the playground
Mais qu'est ce que c'est ?
But what is it?
Mais qu'est-ce qui s'passe ?
But what's happening?
Cette histoire je viens de la rêver
I just dreamed this story
Une souris verte
A green mouse
Qui refait son lit
That makes its bed again
C'est la porte ouverte
It's the open door
A toutes les folies
To all madness

cancoillotte — Cancoillotte cheese
Cancoillotte refers to a runny, low-fat cheese from the Franche-Comté region of France. It's a very specific and somewhat unusual word to find in a song, making it quite memorable.
In the lyrics, the computer is made of "cancoillotte," highlighting the whimsical and nonsensical nature of the dream-like story. This unexpected use of a regional cheese adds to the song's quirky charm and educational value by introducing a unique French cultural item.
