Chez les durs, les malabars
With the tough guys, the big shots
On l'appelle la bagarre du rififi
They call it a rififi fight
Presque rien, un mot banal allume le signal
Almost nothing, a casual word lights the signal
Du rififi
Rififi
Dans ce remous quand les hommes font joujou
In this turmoil when men play around
Y'a d'la viande qu'en prend un coup
There's some meat that takes a hit
On entend des os qui craquent
You hear bones cracking
Sans un cri, sans un murmure
Without a scream, without a murmur
On fait sa petite cure de rififi
We have our little rififi cure
Fendant l'espace une bouteille passé
A bottle flies through the air
Un verre se casse on s'rent' dedans
A glass breaks, we dive inside it
On crache des dents ça pisse le sang
We spit out teeth, blood flows
C'est chacun pour soi
Each for himself
On s'en donne à Coeur joie
We give ourselves joyfully
Et quand tout est fini
And when it's all over
On numérote ses abattis
We number our leftovers
Chez les durs, les malabars
With the tough guys, the big shots
On l'appelle la bagarre du rififi
They call it a rififi fight
Presque rien, un mot banal allume le signal
Almost nothing, a casual word lights the signal
Du rififi
Rififi
Même en amour quand deux hommes font la cour
Even in love, when two men court
À une pépé d'amour
A love granny
Ça finit par faire d'la casse
It ends up causing damage
On s'observe, on s'évalue
We watch each other, we assess
Et l'on joue sa vertu au rififi
And we test our virtue with rififi
Quand les flics viennent s'informer
When the cops come to inquire
- Que s'est-il don passé du rififi
- What happened with the rififi
- On faisait juste entre amis
- We were just among friends
Une toute petite partie de rififi
A tiny little game of rififi
Une fois lâchés, on va vite se payer
Once released, we quickly pay for
Une tournée à la santé
A round to the health
De Monsieur le Commissaire
Of Mr. Commissioner
Patatrac, il pleut des gnons
Crash, punches rain down
Car on est les champions du rififi
Because we are the champions of rififi
Du rififi du rififi
Rififi, rififi
