Ecoutez, bonnes gens, la cruelle
Look, good people, the cruel
Et douloureuse histoire des frères dalton
And painful story of the dalton brothers
Qui furent l'incarnation du mal
Who were the embodiment of evil
Et que ceci serve d'exemple
And let this serve as an example
A tous ceux que le diable écarte du droit chemin
To all those whom the devil deviates from the right path
Tout petits à l'école
Toddlers at school
A la place de crayons ils avaient des limes
Instead of pencils they had limes
En guise de cravates des cordes de lin
As ties of linen strings
Ne vous étonnez pas, si leur tout premier crime
Don't be surprised, if their very first crime
Fut d'avoir fait mourir leur maman de chagrin
Was to have made their mother die of grief
Tagada, tagada, voilà les dalton
Tagada, tagada, these are the daltons
Tagada, tagada, voilà les dalton
Tagada, tagada, these are the daltons
C'étaient les dalton
It was the daltons
Tagada, tagada, y a plus personne
Tagada, tagada, there's no one left
Les années passèrent
The years passed
Ils s'étaient débrouillés pour attraper la rage
They had managed to catch rabies
Et ficeler le docteur qui faisait les vaccins
And tie up the doctor who was making the vaccines
Et puis contaminèrent les gens du voisinage
And then contaminated the people in the neighborhood
S'amusant à les mordre, puis accusaient les chiens
Having fun biting them, then accused the dogs
Tagada, tagada, voilà les dalton
Tagada, tagada, these are the daltons
Tagada, tagada, voilà les dalton
Tagada, tagada, these are the daltons
C'étaient les dalton
It was the daltons
Tagada, tagada, y a plus personne
Tagada, tagada, there's no one left
Ils devinrent des hommes
They became men
Un conseil, mon ami, avant de les croiser
A word of advice, my friend, before you run into them
Embrasse ta femme, serre-moi la main
Kiss your wife, shake my hand
Vite sur la vie va te faire assurer
Quick on life will make you insure
Tranche-toi la gorge et jette-toi sous l'train
Cut your throat and throw yourself under the train
Tagada, tagada, voilà les dalton
Tagada, tagada, these are the daltons
Tagada, tagada, voilà les dalton
Tagada, tagada, these are the daltons
C'étaient les dalton
It was the daltons
Tagada, tagada, y a plus personne
Tagada, tagada, there's no one left
Mais la justice veillait
But justice was watching
Comme tous les jours leurs têtes augmentaient d'vingt centimes
As every day their heads increased by twenty cents
Des centimes américains
U.S. pennies
Qu'ils étaient vaniteux et avides d'argent
That they were vain and greedy for money
Ils se livrèrent eux-mêmes pour toucher la prime
They indulged themselves to receive the bounty
Car ils étaient encore plus bêtes que méchants
For they were even dumber than wicked
Tagada, tagada, voilà les dalton
Tagada, tagada, these are the daltons
Tagada, tagada, voilà les dalton
Tagada, tagada, these are the daltons
C'étaient les dalton
It was the daltons
Tagada, tagada, y a plus personne
Tagada, tagada, there's no one left
