Je suis pour le communisme, je suis pour le socialisme
I'm for communism, I'm for socialism
Et pour le capitalisme parce que je suis opportuniste
And for capitalism because I'm an opportunist
Il y en a qui contestent, qui revendiquent et qui protestent
There are those who contest, who demand and who protest
Moi je ne fais qu'un seul geste, je retourne ma veste, je retourne ma veste
I only do one thing, I turn my jacket inside out, I turn my jacket inside out
Toujours du bon côté
Always on the good side
Je n'ai pas peur des profiteurs ni même des agitateurs
I'm not afraid of profiteers or even agitators
J'fais confiance aux électeurs et j'en profite pour faire mon beurre
I trust the voters and I take advantage of it to make my money
Il y en a qui contestent, qui revendiquent et qui protestent
There are those who contest, who demand and who protest
Moi je ne fais qu'un seul geste, je retourne ma veste, je retourne ma veste
I only do one thing, I turn my jacket inside out, I turn my jacket inside out
Toujours du bon côté
Always on the good side
Je suis de tous les partis, je suis de toutes les partys
I'm from all parties, I'm from all parties
Je suis de toutes les coteries, je suis le roi des convertis
I am of all cliques, I am the king of the converted
Il y en a qui contestent, qui revendiquent et qui protestent
There are those who contest, who demand and who protest
Moi je ne fais qu'un seul geste, je retourne ma veste, je retourne ma veste
I only do one thing, I turn my jacket inside out, I turn my jacket inside out
Toujours du bon côté
Always on the good side
Je crie vive la révolution, je crie vive les institutions
I shout long live the revolution, I shout long live the institutions
Je crie vive les manifestations, je crie vive la collaboration
I shout long live the demonstrations, I shout long live the collaboration
Non jamais je ne conteste, ni revendique ni ne proteste
No, I never contest, nor claim nor protest
Je ne sais faire qu'un seul geste, celui de retourner ma veste
I only know how to do one thing, that of turning my jacket inside out
De retourner ma veste toujours du bon côté
To always turn my jacket right side out
Je l'ai tellement retournée qu'elle craque de tous côtés
I turned it over so much that it cracked on all sides
A la prochaine révolution, je retourne mon pantalon
At the next revolution, I turn my pants inside out
