Ce samedi soir ell' revenait de son usine
This Saturday night she was coming back from her factory
Les bras chargés de billets bleus bien mérités
Arms laden with well-deserved blue banknotes
Sous les regards concupiscents de ses copines
Under the concupiscent eyes of his girlfriends
Le cœur joyeux vers son foyer
The joyful heart towards his home
Ell' se hâtait
Ell' hastened
En la voyant sa maman fut bien satisfaite
Seeing her her mother was very satisfied
Elle lui dit, prenant son air des jours de fête
She said to him, taking her air from the feast days
Mets un chapeau, lav' toi les mains, faisons toilette
Put on a hat, wash your hands, let's wash
Ce soir ma fille, nous allons bien nous amuser
Tonight, my daughter, we're going to have a lot of fun
J'ai fantaisie de mett' dans notre vie
I fancy putting in our lives
Vn p'tit grain de fantaisie youpi, youpi'
Vn little grain of fancy youpi, youpi'
Allons au cinéma du quartier
Let's go to the neighborhood movie theater
Ça s'rait folie d'faire les frais d'une entrée
It would be madness to pay the cost of an entrance
Mais nous verrons la sortie... youpi, youpi
But we'll see the exit... youpi, youpi
C'est amusant de voir les gens qui en sortant
It's fun to see people coming out
Ont l'ai si tristes
Have it so sad
Si tristes
So sad
C' qu'on s'amuse en buvant un' limonad'
It's fun drinking a' limonad'
La la j'en suis malade
The I'm sick of it
Cette semaine y a pas eu d'heur' supplémentaires
This week there have been no extra hours
A dit l'comptable en lui faisant son relevé
Said the accountant by making his statement
Parbleu elle a passé du temps près de sa mère
She spent time near her mother
Malade après la limonad' comm' vous savez
Sick after limonad' comm' you know
Ce samedi elle est rentrée, l'humeur maussade
This Saturday she came home, the mood gloomy
Puis lasse de donner ses soins à la malade
Then weary of giving care to the patient
Elle lui a dit 'je vais chercher de la pommade'
She told him 'I'm going to get some ointment'
Mais l'seuil franchi, insoucieuse elle a chanté
But the threshold crossed, carefree she sang
J'ai fantaisie de mett' dans ma vie
I fancy putting in my life
Un p'tit grain de fantaisie youpi youpi
A little grain of fancy youpi youpi
Moi j'en ai marre
I'm sick of it
J'vais à la foire
I'm going to the fair
Puisque ma mère est toujours alitée
Since my mother is always bedridden
Pourquoi pas en proflter youpi youpi
Why not by proflter youpi youpi
La voilà donc sur un cochon qui tourne en rond
So here she is on a pig that goes around in circles
Quelle joie de vivre
What a joy to live
L'énivre
The Énivre
Y a albert qui est derrière, qui la serre
There's albert behind it, that's greenhouse
Et elle le laisse faire
And she lets him do it
Ouais
Yes
Cette semaine, y a pas eu d'paye, sa mère est
This week, there was no pay, his mother is
Morte
Dead
Depuis mardi qu'elle lui a fermé les yeux
Since Tuesday when she closed her eyes
De leur logis, seul, albert a franchi la porte
From their home, alone, Albert walked through the door
Pour la r'monter, et, pour lui présenter ses vœux
To set her up, and, to present her wishes
A son usine on a mis' une intérimaire
At his factory we put an interim
Pour lui laisser tout le loisir d'enterrer mère
To give her all the time to bury mother
Et à albert, qui l'accompagne au cimetière
And to Albert, who accompanies him to the cemetery
Quand l'corbillard pass' près d'la gare, elle déclare
When the hearse passes near the station, it declares
J'ai fantaisie de mett' dans not' vie
I fancy to putt' in not' life
Un p'tit grain de fantaisie youpi youpi
A little grain of fancy youpi youpi
A seize heure seize y a un express
At sixteen:16 a.m. there's an express
Pour st-tropez, faut qu'on s'presse, j'ai du pez'
For st-tropez, we have to hurry, I have pez'
J'dis ça pour te mettre à l'aise youpi youpi
I say this to make you feel comfortable youpi youpi
Les voilà donc partis tous deux pour d'autres cieux
So here they are both gone for other skies
Quel firmament quelle fill' maman
What firmament what fill' mom
Puis vient l'bel armand, puis encore d'autr's
Then comes the beautiful armand, then again from autr's
Amants
Lovers
Puis un contrat au soudan
Then a contract in Sudan
Vlan
Vlan
