Nous avons, quoiqu'on en pense
We have, whatever we think
L'amour du pays natal
Love of homeland
Et du Nord à la Provence
And from the North to Provence
On le chante et c'est normal
We sing it and it's normal
C'est pourquoi, à mon tour
This is why, in my turn
J'ai la chance de chanter
I have the chance to sing
Un p'tit coin pour moi sans égal
A little corner for me without equal
Refrain
Chorus
Les gars d'Ménilmontant
The guys from Ménilmontant
Sont toujours remontants
Are always coming back
Même en redescendant
Even going down
Les rues de Ménilmuche
The streets of Ménilmuche
Ils ont le coeur ardent
They have fiery hearts
Le coeur et tout l'restant
The heart and everything else
Tant qu'ils s'en vont chantant
As long as they go away singing
Ménilmontant
Menilmontant
Ils s'en vont la mine fière
They leave with a proud face
Droit devant eux dans la rue
Straight ahead in the street
Et s'ils baissent les paupières
And if they lower their eyelids
C'est sur un mollet dodu
It's on a plump calf
D'un coup d'oeil ils vous font l'inventaire
At a glance they give you an inventory
Des trésors bien cachés par une ingénue
Treasures well hidden by an ingénue
Refrain
Chorus
Il faut voir comme ils décochent
You have to see how they release
Tous les traits de leur esprit
All the traits of their mind
Et ce esprit de gavroche
And this gavroche spirit
C'est le bon coeur à crédit
It's the good heart on credit
Et Mimi Pinson dans leur caboche
And Mimi Pinson in their noggin
A laissé la chanson et la poésie
Left the song and the poetry
Refrain
Chorus
V'là les gars de mon village
Here are the guys from my village
Ni plus mauvais, ni meilleurs
Neither worse nor better
Que tous les gars à la plage
That all the guys at the beach
De Paris ou bien d'ailleurs
From Paris or elsewhere
Ils seront les jeunots d'un autre âge
They will be young people from another age
Qui rendra au pays toute sa grandeur
Who will restore the country to all its greatness
Refrain
Chorus
