Y a d'la joie bonjour, bonjour les hirondelles
There is joy, hello, hello swallows
Y a d'la joie dans le ciel par dessus les toits
There is joy in the sky above the roofs
Y a d'la joie et du soleil dans les ruelles
There is joy and sunshine in the streets
Y a d'la joie partout, y a d'la joie
There is joy everywhere, there is joy
Tout le jour, mon coeur bat, chavire et chancelle
All day long, my heart beats, capsizes and staggers
C'est l'amour qui vient avec je ne sais quoi
It's the love that comes with I don't know what
C'est l'amour, bonjour, bonjour les demoiselles
It's love, hello, hello ladies
Y a d'la joie, partout, y a d'la joie
There is joy, everywhere, there is joy
Le gris boulanger bat la pâte à pleins bras
The gray baker beats the dough with both hands
Il fait du bon pain, du pain si fin que j'ai faim
He makes good bread, bread so fine that I'm hungry
On voit le facteur qui s'envole là-bas
We see the postman flying away over there
Comme un ange bleu portant ses lettres au bon dieu
Like a blue angel carrying his letters to the good Lord
Miracle sans nom à la station javelle
Unnamed miracle at the bleach station
On voit le métro qui sort de son tunnel
We see the metro coming out of its tunnel
Grisé de soleil, de chansons et de fleurs
Intoxicated with sun, songs and flowers
Il court vers le bois, il court à toute vapeur
He runs towards the woods, he runs at full steam
Y a d'la joie, la tour Eiffel part en ballade
There is joy, the Eiffel Tower goes for a walk
Comme une folle, elle saute la seine à pieds joints
Like a madwoman, she jumps the Seine with both feet
Puis elle dit 'tant pis pour moi si j'suis malade
Then she says 'too bad for me if I'm sick
J'm'embêtais toute seule dans mon coin
I was bored all alone in my corner
Y a d'la joie, le percepteur met sa jaquette
There is joy, the tax collector puts on his jacket
Plie boutique et dit d'un air très doux, très doux
Folds shop and says very softly, very softly
'Bien l'bonjour pour aujourd'hui, fini la quête
'Good morning for today, the quest is over
Gardez tout messieurs, gardez tout'
Keep everything gentlemen, keep everything
Mais voilà qu'soudain, je m'éveille dans mon lit
But suddenly I wake up in my bed
Donc, j'avais rêvé, oui car le ciel est gris
So I dreamed, yes because the sky is gray
Il faut se lever, se laver, se vêtir
You have to get up, wash, get dressed
Et ne plus chanter si l'on n'a plus rien à dire
And stop singing if you have nothing left to say
Mais je crois pourtant que ce rêve a du bon
But I still believe that this dream is good
Car il m'a permis, de faire une chanson
Because he allowed me to make a song
Chanson de printemps, chansonnette d'amour
Spring song, love song
Chanson de 20 ans, chanson de toujours
Song of 20 years, song of forever
Y a d'la joie bonjour, bonjour les hirondelles
There is joy, hello, hello swallows
Y a d'la joie dans le ciel par dessus les toits
There is joy in the sky above the roofs
Y a d'la joie et du soleil dans les ruelles
There is joy and sunshine in the streets
Y a d'la joie partout, y a d'la
There is joy everywhere, there is
Tout le jour, mon cœur bat, chavire et chancelle
All day long, my heart beats, capsizes and staggers
C'est l'amour qui vient avec 'je ne sais quoi'
It's the love that comes with 'je ne sais quoi'
C'est l'amour, bonjour, les demoiselles
It's love, hello, ladies
Y a d'la joie, partout, y a d'la joie
There is joy, everywhere, there is joy
