{refrain1:}
"Refrain1:"
On ne sait où il habite
We don't know where he lives
On l'appelle 'la marmite'
It's called 'the pot'
Ce n'est pas un apprenti mitron
He's not a mitron apprentice
C'est un joyeux vagabond
He's a merry wanderer
En attendant qu'on lui serve
Waiting for it to be served
Dans sa boîte de conserve
In his can
Un peu plus que son pain quotidien
A little more than his daily bread
'la marmite' va et vient
'the pot' comes and goes
{couplet}
'couplet'
Tout tranquille
Quiet
Par la ville
By the city
Il s'en va cueillir les restes d'un repas
He goes to pick up the leftovers of a meal
Et bien vite
And soon
'la marmite'
'The Pot'
Près du feu, qui lui réchauffe un plat de roi
By the fire, which warms him a king's dish
Quand midi sonne
When noon rings
Oublie les hommes
Forget the men
Oublie la vie dans une samba frénétique
Forget life in a frantic samba
{refrain 2:}
'refrain 2:'
Et revoilà 'la marmite'
And here's the 'pot' again
Gonflé à la dynamite
Inflated with dynamite
Le voilà qui revient en frappant
Here he comes back by hitting
Sur sa boîte de fer blanc
On his tin can
Et l'après-midi entière
And the whole afternoon
Agrippé à la portière
Grabbed at the door
Des tramways qu'il attrape en chemin
Trams he catches on the way
'la marmite' va et vient
'the pot' comes and goes
{coda}
'coda'
On ne sait où il habite
We don't know where he lives
On l'appelle 'la marmite'
It's called 'the pot'
Ce n'est pas un apprenti mitron
He's not a mitron apprentice
C'est un joyeux vagabond
He's a merry wanderer
C'est un joyeux vagabond
He's a merry wanderer
C'est un joyeux vagabond
He's a merry wanderer
