Demandez à l'homme au piano
Ask the man at the piano
Au piano, au piano
On the piano, at the piano
De frapper à coups de marteau
To hit with a hammer
Coups de marteau, coups de marteau
Hammer blows, hammer blows
Qu'il frappe à tire larigot
Let him hit with a larigot
Larigot, juste ou faux
Larigot, just or false
J'sais qu'ses doigts ne sont pas en bois
I know his fingers aren't made of wood
Mais, quand il les cassera
But when he breaks them
On les fera remplacer
We'll have them replaced
Le principal, c'est qu'il joue
The main thing is that he plays
Comme une machine? sous
Like a machine? Under
Jusqu'au bout, sans arrêt
To the end, non-stop
P't'être que ton cœur entendra
Maybe your heart will hear
Un peu de tout ce fracas
A little bit of all that fracas
Et qu'alors tu comprendras
And then you'll understand
Que le piano joue pour toi
Let the piano play for you
Je dois chasser comme je peux
I have to hunt as much as I can
Le fantôme silencieux
The Silent Ghost
Si le bonhomme fait du bruit
If the man makes noise
C'est que moi je lui crie
It's just that I'm yelling at him
De frapper comme un sourd
To hit like a deaf
A ne sonnera jamais plus faux
A will never sound more false
Que la chanson des mots
Let the song of words
Qui parlaient de notre amour
Who talked about our love
Demandez à l'homme au piano
Ask the man at the piano
Au piano, au piano
On the piano, at the piano
De frapper à coups de marteau
To hit with a hammer
Coups de marteau, coups de marteau
Hammer blows, hammer blows
Pour casser dans mon cerveau
To break in my brain
Mon amour en morceaux
My love in pieces
Même s'il ne lui reste plus qu'un doigt
Even if he only has one finger left
Qu'il tape avec les bras
Let him clap his arms
Après tout, moi j'm'en fous
After all, I don't care
Le principal, c'est qu'il joue
The main thing is that he plays
Comme une machine à sous
Like a slot machine
Jusqu'au bout, jusqu'au bout
All the way to the end, to the end
Demandez à l'homme au piano
Ask the man at the piano
Au piano, au piano
On the piano, at the piano
Au piano
On the piano
