Parfaitement à jeun
Perfectly fasted
Vous me voyez surpris
You see me surprised
De ne pas trouver mon lit, ici
Not to find my bed here
Parfaitement à jeun
Perfectly fasted
Je le vois qui recule
I see him stepping back
Je le vois qui bascule aussi
I see it rocking too
Guili, guili, guili
Guili, Guili, Guili
Viens là mon petit lit
Come here my little bed
Si tu ne viens pas à moi
If you don't come to me
C'est pas moi qu'irai t'à toi
It's not me who will go to you
Mais qui n'avance pas recule
But who does not advance, retreats
Comme dit, Monsieur Dupneu
As said, Mr Dupneu
Un mec qui articule
A guy who articulates
Et qui est chef du contentieux
And who is head of litigation
Parfaitement à jeun
Perfectly fasted
Je reviens d'une belle fête
I'm back from a great party
J'ai enterré Huguette ce matin
I buried Huguette this morning
Parfaitement à jeun
Perfectly fasted
J'ai fait semblant d'pleurer
I pretended to cry
Pour ne pas faire rater la fête
To not miss the party
Z'étaient tous en noir
They were all in black
Les voisins, les amis
neighbors, friends
Il y avait qu'moi qui étais gris
It was only me who was gray
Dans cette foire
In this fair
Y avait beau maman, belle papa
There was beautiful mum, beautiful dad
Z'avez pas vu Mirza?
Haven't you seen Mirza?
Et puis Monsieur Dupneu
And then Monsieur Dupneu
Qui est chef du contentieux
Who is Chief Legal Officer
Parfaitement à jeun
Perfectly fasted
En enterrant ma femme
By burying my wife
J'ai surtout enterré
I mostly buried
La maîtresse d'André
Andrew's Mistress
Je ne l'ai su que c'matin
I only knew it this morning
Et par un enfant de chœur
And by an altar boy
Qui m'racontait qu'sa sœur, ça
Who told me that his sister, that
Enfin il me reste deux solutions
Finally I have two solutions
Ou bien frapper André
Or hit André
Ou bien gnougnougnaffer la femme d'André
Or gnougnougnaffer André's wife
Sur son balcon
On his balcony
Ou bien rester chez moi
Or else stay at home
Feu cocu mais joyeux
Cuckold but happy fire
C'est ce que me conseille André
This is what André advises me
André, André Dupneu
André, André Dupneu
Qui est mon chef du contentieux
Who is my General Counsel
Parfaitement à jeun
Perfectly fasted
Vous me voyez surpris
You see me surprised
De ne pas trouver mon lit
Of not finding my bed
