Le grand joe macho, un loup solitaire
The big macho joe, a lone wolf
Était toujours en galère
Was always in trouble
Et quand il sortait chasser la femelle
And when he went out to hunt the female
On entendait son cri sensuel
You could hear his sensual cry
Ououou ou-ou-ou
Ououou or-or-or
Ououou ou-ou-ou
Ououou or-or-or
J'ai mon fusil à six coups
I've got my six-shot shotgun
Aou aou aou
Aou aou aou
La jolie marie avait le feu aux reins
The pretty bride had fire in her kidneys
Son mari était marin
Her husband was a sailor
Quand elle a vu joe entrer dans sa chambre
When she saw joe enter her room
La mignonne a planqué son alliance
The cute one stashed her wedding ring
Ououou ou-ou-oui
Ouou or-or-yes
Jaillit ce cri dans la nuit
Jails that cry in the night
Joe est revenu souvent
Joe came back a lot
Et puis un soir on frappe au plus mauvais moment
And then one night we hit at the worst time
'ciel, mon mari!' a crié marie
'Heaven, my husband!' shouted bride
Qui était physionomiste
Who was a physiologist
Il lui a dit: 'j'te croyais fidèle'
He told her, 'I thought you were faithful'
Elle répondit: 'je le croyais aussi'
She said, 'I thought so too.'
'joe pas un geste ou tu meurs!'
'Joe not a move or you die!'
Dit le trompé au trompeur
Says the deceived to the deceitful
Maintenant tu vas payer
Now you're going to pay
Il visait bas, il l'a touché au pied
He was aiming low, he hit him in the foot
Alors joe a filé dans le noir
So joe spun in the dark
Nu comme un vers, boîtant comme un canard
Naked as a worm, limping like a duck
Et toute la ville l'a entendu pousser
And the whole town heard him grow
Ce cri déchirant du chien blessé
This heartbreaking cry from the wounded dog
Ououou ou-ou-ou
Ououou or-or-or
'j'était prévenu après tout
'I was warned after all
Marie m'avait bien juré
Mary swore to me
Que son mari ne savait pas tirer'
That her husband didn't know how to shoot'
