Gloire à qui freine à mort de peur d'écrabouiller
Glory to those who brake to death for fear of crashing
Le hérisson perdu, le crapaud fourvoyé
The lost hedgehog, the misguided toad
Et gloire à don Juan, d'avoir un jour souri
And glory to don Juan, for having one day smiled
A celle à qui les autres n'attachaient aucun prix
To the one to whom others attached no value
Cette fille est trop vilaine, il me la faut
This girl is so naughty, I need her
Gloire au flic qui barrait le passage aux autos
Glory to the cop who blocked the way to cars
Pour laisser traverser les chats de Léautaud
To let Léautaud’s cats cross
Et gloire à don Juan d'avoir pris rendez-vous
And glory to don Juan for having made an appointment
Avec la délaissée, que l'amour désavoue
With the abandoned, whom love disavows
Cette fille est trop vilaine, il me la faut
This girl is so naughty, I need her
Gloire au premier venu qui passe et qui se tait
Glory to the first comer who passes and remains silent
Quand la canaille crie haro sur le baudet
When the scoundrel shouts haro on the donkey
Et gloire à don Juan pour ses galants discours
And glory to don Juan for his gallant speeches
A celle à qui les autres faisaient jamais la cour
To the one to whom others never courted
Cette fille est trop vilaine, il me la faut
This girl is so naughty, I need her
Et gloire à ce curé sauvant son ennemi
And glory to this priest saving his enemy
Lors du massacre de la Saint-Barthélémy
During the Saint-Barthélémy Day massacre
Et gloire à don Juan qui couvrit de baisers
And glory to don Juan who covered with kisses
La fille que les autres refusaient d'embrasser
The girl others refused to kiss
Cette fille est trop vilaine, il me la faut
This girl is so naughty, I need her
Et gloire à ce soldat qui jeta son fusil
And glory to this soldier who threw his rifle
Plutôt que d'achever l'otage à sa merci
Rather than finishing off the hostage at his mercy
Et gloire à don Juan d'avoir osé trousser
And glory to don Juan for daring to bring
Celle dont le jupon restait toujours baissé
The one whose petticoat always remained down
Cette fille est trop vilaine, il me la faut
This girl is so naughty, I need her
Gloire à la bonne soeur qui, par temps pas très chaud
Glory to the good sister who, in not very hot weather
Dégela dans sa main le pénis du manchot
The penguin's penis thawed in his hand
Et gloire à don Juan qui fit reluire un soir
And glory to don Juan who made it shine one evening
Ce cul deshérité ne sachant que s'asseoir
This disinherited ass only knowing how to sit
Cette fille est trop vilaine, il me la faut
This girl is so naughty, I need her
Gloire à qui n'ayant pas d'idéal sacro-saint
Glory to those who have no sacrosanct ideal
Se borne à ne pas trop emmerder ses voisins
Just don't bother your neighbors too much
Et gloire à don Juan qui rendit femme celle
And glory to don Juan who made her a woman
Qui, sans lui, quelle horreur serait morte pucelle
Who, without him, what horror would have died virgin
Cette fille est trop vilaine, il me la faut
This girl is so naughty, I need her
