Comme moi vous savez
Like me you know
Les nombres des navets
Turnip numbers
Qu'on voit sur les chaînes ordinaires
That we see on ordinary channels
Leur grande utilité
Their great usefulness
C'est de nous éviter
It's to avoid us
Tout ce qui est somnifère
Anything that is sleeping
Ça je crois savoir, je crois le savoir
That I think I know, I think I know
Ça je crois savoir
That I think I know
Mes cent-quarante chats
My hundred and forty cats
Ronronnent et font du gras
Purr and make fat
La tête entre les pattes
Head between paws
En regardant un peu
Looking a little
On trouve beaucoup mieux
We find much better
À gauche comme à droite
Left and right
Et ça je crois savoir, je crois le savoir
And that I think I know, I think I know it
Ça je crois savoir
That I think I know
Les soucis, les problèmes
Worries, problems
N'en jetez plus, la cour est pleine
Don't throw any more, the yard is full
On n'a rien à déclarer
We have nothing to declare
Juste envie de se marrer
Just want to have a laugh
Les fadas, les tordus
The crazy ones, the twisted ones
La cour est pleine, n'en jetez plus
The yard is full, don't throw any more
La vie c'est une drôle d'histoire
Life is a funny story
Ça je crois le savoir
That I think I know
J'ai quelques bons amis
I have some good friends
Qui accourent quand je crie
Who run when I scream
'À table et à la nôtre!'
'At the table and at ours!'
Des gens surentraînés
Overtrained people
Qui ont, c'est confirmé
Who have, it's confirmed
Un bras plus fort que l'autre
One arm stronger than the other
Pourquoi, je crois savoir
Why, I think I know
Je crois le savoir
I think I know
Pourquoi, je crois savoir
Why, I think I know
Y a une fille alanguie
There is a languid girl
Au milieu d'un grand lit
In the middle of a big bed
Qui attend que j'appelle
Who is waiting for me to call
Si j'étais un guerrier
If I were a warrior
Et le monde à sauver
And the world to save
Je commencerais par elle
I would start with her
Ça je crois savoir, je crois le savoir
That I think I know, I think I know
Ça je crois savoir
That I think I know
Les soucis, les problèmes
Worries, problems
N'en jetez plus, la cour est pleine
Don't throw any more, the yard is full
On n'a rien à déclarer
We have nothing to declare
Juste envie de se marrer
Just want to have a laugh
Les fadas, les tordus
The crazy ones, the twisted ones
La cour est pleine, n'en jetez plus
The yard is full, don't throw any more
La vie c'est une drôle d'histoire
Life is a funny story
Ça je crois le savoir
That I think I know
C'est ma chanson pour Jacques
This is my song for Jacques
Celui qui se la coule
The one who takes it easy
Dans son jardin de Corse
In his Corsican garden
Écrite à sa manière
Written in her own way
Sans me faire une ampoule
Without giving me a blister
Sans me faire une entorse
Without spraining myself
Et ça, je crois savoir
And that, I think I know
