Les Chats Karatekas Lyrics in English Oldelaf

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Les Chats Karatekas by Oldelaf from French to English.
At night in the gloom
Around the sandboxes
You see shadows prowling
Not exactly respectable
For the last kids
Packing away their shovel, their bucket
A loud meow rings out
It's the call to attack
The karate cats
We're super violent
We're the least friendly
Of all the nasty animals
The karate cats
We don't like kids
We don't like dads
We don't like moms
The other day we saw
Mrs. Flon's dog
His name was Bidibu
A cute little bichon
We gave him a beating
We filled him with sand
We put four legs on him
We turned him into a table
The karate cats
We're super violent
We're the least friendly
Of all the nasty animals
The karate cats
We don't like kids
We don't like dads
We don't like moms
Our sworn enemies
Live deep in a kennel
They're dogs called
The judopoodles
They're really strong
They trash us all the time
Without the slightest effort
It's really humiliating
The karate cats
We're super violent
We're the least friendly
Of all the nasty animals
The karate cats
We don't like kids
We don't like dads
We don't like moms
Doctor Meow
I suggest we draw up a plan
To take revenge
On those damn judopoodles
Yes, Captain Sausage
But how?
well you remember Bidibu
Mrs. Flon's dog
that we turned into a coffee table
Well, of course
We ate on it again at lunch today
Right, good
good what, Captain?
well, don't interrupt me, Doctor Meow
Okay, Captain Sausage
So, I was saying, we've got a table
So we're missing
Four chairs to go with it
For that purpose, I've devised
A giant poodle trap
Using the very latest
American technologies
but you're really
Very, very nasty, Captain Sausage
I totally get why
You're called Captain Sausage
Captain Sausage
That's right
Captain Sausage
What
Why do you yell all the time
Because
The karate cats
We're super violent
We're the least friendly
Of all the nasty animals
The karate cats
We don't like kids
We don't like dads
We don't like moms
The karate cats
The karate cats
The karate cats
The karate cats
Dear Captain Sausage
I'm writing you this letter
To tell you I've decided
In all conscience
To leave the karate cats group
To devote myself fully
To my new club
The catapult cats
On that matter
I've personally developed
A brand-new

SONG MEANING

“Les Chats Karatekas” is a tongue-in-cheek musical cartoon where house cats turn into a rowdy martial-arts gang. Every night, these so-called karate cats gather around the sandbox, howl their battle cry, and brag about being the meanest creatures in town. They bully children, terrorize a cute little dog named Bidibu, and even convert him into a living coffee table. Their sworn enemies are the judokaniches – judo-practising poodles – who usually defeat them with embarrassing ease.

Oldelaf packs the song with playful dialogue between two feline leaders, Capitaine Saucisse and Docteur Miaou, who hatch absurdly evil plans like building a giant poodle trap. The exaggerated violence and slapstick evil are so over-the-top that the listener quickly realises the song is a satire. It pokes fun at braggadocio, rivalries, and villain monologues, all while painting a hilarious picture of domesticated pets acting like comic-book bad guys. Underneath the chaos, the track reminds us not to take tough talk too seriously – sometimes the “scariest” threats come from the smallest, furriest troublemakers.
