Qui ne sort que la nuit

A de tr? s gros ennuis
A tr? s big trouble
Mais c'est un? go? ste
But is it one? Go? Ste
Il les garde pour lui
He keeps them to himself
Et tous les gros ennuis
And all the big trouble
Du petit monsieur triste
From the sad little gentleman
Le suivent dans la nuit
Follow him into the night
Courent derri? re lui
Run behind? re him
Galopent sur la piste
Galloping on the track
Du petit monsieur triste
From the sad little gentleman
Qui a des tas d'ennuis
Who's in a lot of trouble
Le petit monsieur triste
The sad little gentleman
A beaucoup de chagrin
A lot of grief
Sa femme aimait chopin
His wife loved chopin
Lui n'? tait pas pianiste

Et le regrettait bien
And he regretted it well
Or, sa femme, un matin
Now, his wife, one morning
Suivit un grand pianiste
This was followed by a great pianist
Qui jouait du chopin
Who played the chopin
Pour faire du chagrin
To make grief
Au petit monsieur triste
To the sad little gentleman
Qui n'? tait pas pianiste
Who doesn't? was not pianist
Et le regrettait bien
And he regretted it well
Alors, m? lancolique
So, m? lacoolic
Et le c? ur tout meurtri
What about the c? ur all bruised
Il ramena chez lui
He took him home
Un piano m? canique
A piano m? canique
Pour calmer ses ennuis
To calm his troubles
Et puis il revendit
And then he resold
Cette bo? te? musique
That bo? You? Music
Qui faisait trop de bruit
Who was making too much noise
Et jouait dans la nuit
And played in the night
Comme une m? canique

Des airs m? lancoliques
Airs m? lacochemicals
Qui doublaient ses ennuis
Who doubled his troubles
Le petit monsieur triste
The sad little gentleman
Qui ne sort que la nuit
Who only goes out at night
Car le sommeil le fuit
Because sleep is running away from him
Boit seul, en? go? ste
Drink alone, in? Go? Ste
Pour noyer ses ennuis
To drown his troubles
Il boit toute la nuit
He drinks all night
Le petit monsieur triste
The sad little gentleman
Puis il rentre chez lui
Then he goes home
Et, seul, dans son grand lit
And, alone, in his big bed
Le petit monsieur triste
The sad little gentleman
Are? ve qu'il est pianiste
Are? ve that he's a pianist
Et qu'il n'a plus d'ennuis
And that he's out of trouble
Il are? ve d'un joli piano
Are he? ve of a nice piano
Sur lequel il ferait des gammes
On which he would make scales
De belles gammes pour sa femme
Beautiful ranges for his wife
Do are? mi fa sol la si do
Do are? mi fa sol la si do
