Mon ami est un type énorme
My friend is a huge guy
Il aime la trompette et le clairon
He likes the trumpet and the bugle
Tout en préférant le clairon
While preferring the bugle
Qu'est une trompette en uniforme
What a trumpet in uniform
Mon ami est une valeur sûre
My friend is a safe bet
Il dit souvent sans prétention
He often says unpretentious
Qu'à la minceur des épluchures
That to the thinness of the peels
On voit la grandeur des nations
We see the greatness of nations
Subséquemment, subséquemment
Subsequently, subsequently,
Subséquemment que j'comprends pas
Subsequently I don't understand
Pourquoi souvent, ses compagnons
Why often, his companions
L'appellent, l'appellent
Call it, call it
Caporal casse-pompon
Corporal's pump-breaking
Mon ami est un doux poète
My friend is a sweet poet
Dans son jardin, quand vient l'été
In his garden, when summer comes
Faut l'voir planter ses mitraillettes
You have to see him plant his machine guns
Ou bien creuser ses p'tites tranchées
Or dig his sliced little ones
Mon ami est un homme plein d'humour
My friend is a humorous man
C'est lui, c'est lui qu'a trouvé ce bon mot
It was he, he found the right word
Que je vous raconte à mon tour
Let me tell you in turn
Ich slaffen at si auz wihr prellen so
Ich slaffen at si auz wihr prellen so
Mon ami est un doux rêveur
My friend is a sweet dreamer
Pour lui, paris, c'est une caserne
For him, betting is a barracks
Et berlin, un petit champ de fleurs
And Berlin, a small field of flowers
Qui va de moscou à l'auvergne
Who goes from Moscow to Auvergne
Son rêve : revoir paris au printemps
His dream: to see bets again in the spring
Re-défiler à la tête de son groupe
Re-scrolling at the head of his group
En chantant comme tous les vingt-cinq ans
Singing like every twenty-five years
Baisse ta gaine gretchen que je baise ta croupe
Put down your gretchen sheath so I fuck your rump
Subséquemment, subséquemment
Subsequently, subsequently,
Subséquemment que nous ne comprenons
Subsequently, we don't understand
Comment nos amis les franzosen
How our friends the franzosen
Ils osent, ils osent l'appeler
They dare, they dare to call it
Caporal casse-pompon
Corporal's pump-breaking
