Quand il naquit, ses pères et mères
When he was born, his fathers and mothers
Depuis longtemps, ne s'aimaient plus
For a long time, no longer loved each other
Ça fait qu'il arriva sur terre
That's how he arrived on earth
Un peu comme un enfant perdu
A bit like a lost child
Quand on est môme, ça vous dégoûte
When you're a kid, it disgusts you
De ne jamais rire de tout son cœur
To never laugh with all your heart
Alors, très jeune, il prit la route
So, very young, he hit the road
Et s'enfuit chercher le bonheur
And runs away to find happiness
Ding ding dong, chantons sa plainte
Ding ding dong, let's sing his lament
Ding ding dong, chantons-la donc
Ding ding dong, let's sing it
Il chercha dans la solitude
He searched in solitude
Il chercha aussi dans le bruit
He also searched in the noise
De chercher, ayant l'habitude
To search, having the habit
Quand il le trouva, il s'enfuit
When he found him, he ran away
Puis il aima, elle était blonde
Then he liked it, she was blonde
Elle l'aimait bien, oui mais voilà
She liked him, yes but there you go
Elle se donnait à tout le monde
She gave herself to everyone
Il la battit puis s'en alla
He beat her then left
Ding ding dong, chantons sa plainte
Ding ding dong, let's sing his lament
Ding ding dong, chantons-la donc
Ding ding dong, let's sing it
Il se dit 'les blondes sont volages
He says to himself 'blondes are fickle
Mais les cheveux noirs c'est plus sérieux'
But black hair is more serious'
Il prit un brune, promit mariage
He took a brunette, promised marriage
Pensant qu'cette fois il s'rait heureux
Thinking that this time he would be happy
Au bout de cinq à six semaines
After five to six weeks
Elle s'ennuyait à la maison
She was bored at home
'Vraiment', dit-il, 'je n'ai pas d'veine
'Really,' he said, 'I don't have a vein
Elle a pourtant pas les ch'veux blonds'
She doesn't have blonde hair though
Ding ding dong, chantons sa plainte
Ding ding dong, let's sing his lament
Ding ding dong, chantons-la donc
Ding ding dong, let's sing it
Il ne savait pas que les femmes
He didn't know that women
Ça n'aime pas l'bonheur quotidien
It doesn't like daily happiness
Et l'pauvre garçon s'torturait l'âme
And the poor boy tortured his soul
'Mais j'l'aime, bon dieu, que j'l'aime bien'
'But I love him, good God, I love him'
Et, mordu par la jalousie
And, bitten by jealousy
Y n'savait plus que s'lamenter
All he knew was to lament
'On va m'la prendre, elle est jolie'
'We'll take her, she's pretty'
Alors il voulut la tuer
So he wanted to kill her
Ding ding dong, chantons sa plainte
Ding ding dong, let's sing his lament
Ding ding dong, chantons-la donc
Ding ding dong, let's sing it
Mais elle était vraiment fidèle
But she was really faithful
Il l'aimait tant qu'il préféra
He loved her so much that he preferred
Se faire sauter la cervelle
Blow your brains out
Il en mourut et puis voilà
He died and then there it was
Si cette histoire vous fait rire
If this story makes you laugh
C'est que vous n'avez rien compris
It's because you didn't understand anything
Il cherchait le bonheur, le pire
He was looking for happiness, the worst
C'est qu'il trouva la mort, tant pis
It’s that he found death, too bad
Ding ding dong, finit sa plainte
Ding ding dong, ends his complaint
Ding ding dong, et ding et dong
Ding ding dong, and ding and dong
