C'était toujours la même
It was always the same
Mais on l'aimait quand même
But we still loved him
La fugue d'autrefois
The escape of yesteryear
Qu'on jouait tous les trois
That the three of us played
On était malhabiles
We were clumsy
Elle était difficile
She was difficult
La fugue d'autrefois
The escape of yesteryear
Qu'on jouait tous les trois
That the three of us played
Eléonore attaquait le thème au piano
Eléonore attacked the theme on the piano
On trouvait ça tellement beau
We found it so beautiful
Qu'on en arrêtait de jouer pour l'écouter
That we stopped playing to listen to it
Elle s'arrêtait brusquement et nous regardait
She stopped suddenly and looked at us
Du haut de son tabouret
From the top of his stool
Et disait reprenez mi fa mi fa mi ré
And said go back mi fa mi fa mi re
C'était toujours la même
It was always the same
Mais on l'aimait quand même
But we still loved him
La fugue d'autrefois
The escape of yesteryear
Qu'on jouait tous les trois
That the three of us played
On était malhabiles
We were clumsy
Elle était difficile
She was difficult
La fugue d'autrefois
The escape of yesteryear
Qu'on jouait tous les trois
That the three of us played
Souviens-toi qu'un violon fut jeté sur le sol
Remember that a violin was thrown on the ground
Car c'était toujours le sol
Because it was still the ground
Qui gênait Nicolas quand il était bémol
Who bothered Nicolas when he was flat
Quand les voisins commençaient à manifester
When the neighbors started to demonstrate
C'était l'heure du goûter
It was snack time
Salut Jean-Sébastien et à jeudi prochain
Hi Jean-Sébastien and see you next Thursday
Un jour Eléonore a quitté la maison
One day Eléonore left the house
Emportant le diapason
Taking away the tuning fork
Depuis ce jour nous n'accordons plus nos violons
Since that day we no longer tune our violins
L'un après l'autre nous nous sommes dispersés
One by one we dispersed
La fugue seule est restée
The escape alone remained
Et chaque fois que je l'entends c'est le printemps
And every time I hear it it's spring
