Du mois de septembre au mois d'août
From September to August
Faudrait des bottes de caoutchouc
Need rubber boots
Pour patauger dans la gadoue
To wade through the slush
La gadoue, la gadoue, la gadoue
Slush, slush, slush
Ouh, la gadoue, la gadoue
Ooh, slush, slush
Une à une, les gouttes d'eau
One by one, the drops of water
Me dégoulinent dans le dos
Dripping down my back
Nous pataugeons dans la gadoue
We wade through the slush
La gadoue, la gadoue, la gadoue
Slush, slush, slush
Ouh, la gadoue, la gadoue
Ooh, slush, slush
Vivons un peu sous le ciel gris-bleu
Let's live a little under the gray-blue sky
D'amour et d'eau de pluie
Of love and rainwater
Puis mettons en marche les essuie-glaces
Then let's turn on the windshield wipers
Et rentrons à Paris
And let's go back to Paris
Ça nous changerait pas d'ici
It wouldn't change us from here
Nous garderons nos parapluies
We will keep our umbrellas
Nous retrouverons la gadoue
We will find the slush
La gadoue, la gadoue, la gadoue
Slush, slush, slush
Ouh, la gadoue, la gadoue
Ooh, slush, slush
Il fait un temps abominable
It's abominable weather
Heureusement, tu as ton imperméable
Luckily you have your raincoat
Et ça n'empêche pas la gadoue
And that doesn't stop the slush
La gadoue, la gadoue, la gadoue
Slush, slush, slush
Ouh, la gadoue, la gadoue
Ooh, slush, slush
Il fallait venir jusqu'ici
We had to come here
Pour jouer les amoureux transis
To play the transfixed lovers
Et patauger dans la gadoue
And wade through the slush
La gadoue, la gadoue, la gadoue
Slush, slush, slush
Ouh, la gadoue, la gadoue
Ooh, slush, slush
Vivons un peu sous le ciel gris-bleu
Let's live a little under the gray-blue sky
D'amour et d'eau de pluie
Of love and rainwater
Puis mettons en marche les essuie-glaces
Then let's turn on the windshield wipers
Et rentrons à Paris
And let's go back to Paris
L'année prochaine, nous irons
Next year we will go
Dans un pays où il fait bon
In a country where it's good
Et nous oublierons la gadoue
And we will forget the slush
La gadoue, la gadoue, la gadoue
Slush, slush, slush
Ouh, la gadoue, la gadoue
Ooh, slush, slush
Ouh, la gadoue, la gadoue, la gadoue
Ooh, slush, slush, slush
Ouh, la gadoue, la gadoue
Ooh, slush, slush
Ouh, la gadoue, la gadoue, la gadoue
Ooh, slush, slush, slush
Ouh, la gadoue, la gadoue
Ooh, slush, slush
Ouh, la gadoue, la gadoue, la gadoue
Ooh, slush, slush, slush
Ouh, la gadoue, la gadoue
Ooh, slush, slush
Ouh, la gadoue, la gadoue, la gadoue
Ooh, slush, slush, slush
Ouh, la gadoue, la gadoue
Ooh, slush, slush
Ouh, la gadoue, la gadoue, la gadoue
Ooh, slush, slush, slush
Ouh, la gadoue, la gadoue
Ooh, slush, slush
