On les retrouve en raccourci
We find them in shortcut
Dans nos petites amours d'un jour
In our little loves for a day
Toutes les joies, tous les soucis
All the joys, all the worries
Des amours qui durent toujours
Loves that last forever
C'est là le sort de la marine
This is the fate of the navy
Et de toutes nos petites chéries
And all our little darlings
On accoste, vite un bec
We dock, quickly a beak
Pour nos baisers, le corps avec
For our kisses, the body with
Et les joies et les bouderies
And the joys and the sulks
Les fâcheries, les bons retours
The annoyances, the good returns
Y a tout ça en raccourci
There's all that in shorthand
Des grands amours dans nos p'tits
Great loves in our little ones
On a ri, on s'est baisés
We laughed, we kissed
Sur les noeunoeils, les nénés
On the noeunoeils, the tits
Dans les cheveux, à plein bécots
In the hair, with lots of kisses
Pondus comme des œufs tout chauds
Laid like hot eggs
Tout ce qu'on fait dans un seul jour
Everything we do in a single day
Et comme on allonge le temps
And as we lengthen time
Plus de trois fois, dans un seul jour
More than three times, in a single day
Content, pas content, content
Happy, not happy, happy
Y a dans la chambre une odeur
There is a smell in the room
D'amour tendre et de goudron
Of tender love and tar
Ça vous met la joie au cœur
It brings joy to your heart
La peine aussi et c'est bon
The pain too and it's good
On n'est pas là pour causer
We're not here to talk
Mais on pense, même dans l'amour
But we think, even in love
On pense que demain, il fera jour
We think that tomorrow it will be day
Et que c'est une calamité
And it's a calamity
C'est là le sort de la marine
This is the fate of the navy
Et de toutes nos petites chéries
And all our little darlings
On accoste, mais on devine
We dock, but we guess
Que ça ne sera pas le paradis
That it won't be paradise
On aura beau se dépêcher
No matter how hard we hurry
Faire, bon Dieu la pige au temps
Do, damn it, freelancing at the time
Et le bourrer de tous nos péchés
And stuff it with all our sins
Ça ne sera pas ça, et pourtant
It won't be that, and yet
Toutes les joies, tous les soucis
All the joys, all the worries
Des amours qui durent toujours
Loves that last forever
On les trouve en raccourci
We find them in shortcut
Dans nos petites amours d'un jour
In our little loves for a day
