Il a sa p'tite boutique
He's got his little shop
Il multiplie les pains dans du film plastique
It multiplies the loaves in plastic film
C'est un gars bien, un rien excentrique
He's a good guy, a little eccentric
Comme souvent, les fils uniques
As is often the case, the only sons
Il a son p'tit commerce
He's got his little business
Il offre des pépins aux filles sous l'averse
It offers glitches to girls in the rain
Donne le bras à la dame qui traverse
Give the arm to the lady who crosses
Un gars moderne
A modern guy
En jean et converses
In jeans and converses
Mais comme il sait c'qui s'passe autour
But as he knows what's going on around
Qu'il est ni aveugle ni sourd
That he is neither blind nor deaf
Sous sa veste de toile
Under his canvas jacket
Il a son gilet pare-balles
He's got his bulletproof vest
Et comme il a très bien compris
And as he understood very well
Le monde dans lequel on vit
The world we live in
Il ne sort jamais sans
It never goes out without
Son petit colt élégant
Its elegant little colt
Il a une classe folle
He's a crazy class
Il dit des mots qui envoûtent
He says words that captivate
Qui s'envolent
Soaring
Par dessus les toits les paraboles
Over the roofs the parables
Il dit « faut surtout pas qu'on s'affole »
He says" that we mustn't panic
Il parle les mains jointes
He speaks with his hands clasped
De son père au ciel
From his father to heaven
De sa mère une sainte
From her mother a saint
Qui aurait pu marcher sans laisser d'empreintes
Who could have walked without leaving footprints
Il dit « soyez cool
He says"be cool
N'ayez crainte. »
Don't be afraid. »
Mais comme il sait c'qui s'passe autour
But as he knows what's going on around
Qu'il n'est ni aveugle ni sourd
That he is neither blind nor deaf
Sous sa veste de toile
Under his canvas jacket
Il a son gilet pare-balles
He's got his bulletproof vest
Et comme il a très bien compris
And as he understood very well
Le monde dans lequel on vit
The world we live in
Il ne sort jamais sans
It never goes out without
Son petit colt et des gants
His little colt and gloves
C'est pas du tout qui vous pensez
It's not who you think at all
Lui il a 35 ans passés
He's 35 years old
Sa fiancée marie-marlène
His bride marries and marries marlene
Il la voit à chaque fin de semaine
He sees her every weekend
Il a des amis bien placés
He's got friends who's in a good place
Aux comptoirs de certains cafés
At the counters of some cafes
La bande avec laquelle il traîne
The gang he hangs out with
Ça tourne autour de la douzaine
It's about a dozen
Il leur dit que tout finira bien par changer
He tells them that everything will change eventually
Que tout finira bien
That everything will end well
Que tout finira bien par changer
That everything will eventually change
Il leur dit que tout finira bien par changer
He tells them that everything will change eventually
Que tout finira bien
That everything will end well
Que tout finira bien par changer
That everything will eventually change
Mais comme il sait c'qui se passe autour
But as he knows it's going around
Qu'il est ni aveugle ni sourd
That he is neither blind nor deaf
Et comme il a très très bien compris
And as he understood very, very well
C'est un gars bien, un rien excentrique
He's a good guy, a little eccentric
Comme souvent, l'fils unique
As is often the case, the only son
