Tonton Cristobal est revenu
Uncle Cristobal came back
Des pesos des lingots il en a le cul cousu
Pesos, ingots, his ass is sewn up
La famille hypocrite crie vive le barbu
The hypocritical family shouts long live the bearded man
Tonton Cristobal est revenu
Uncle Cristobal came back
A nous ses petits neveux on nous disait il s'est taillé
To us his little nephews we were told he cut himself
En Amérique du Sud sans un pélot tout débraillé
In South America without a scruffy pad
Mes enfants que la Vierge nous patafiole
My children, may the Virgin pamper us
Plutôt que de revoir un jour sa fiole
Rather than one day seeing his vial again
A Buenos Aires il faisait la traite
In Buenos Aires he trafficked
D'on ne sait quel produit
From we don't know what product
Il est revenu fortune faite
He returned with his fortune made
Plein de cadeaux jolis
Lots of pretty gifts
Une poupée qui fait pipi qui se mouche
A doll that pees and blows its nose
Et qui a des seins qui se gonflent avec la bouche
And who has breasts that swell with their mouth
Tonton Cristobal est revenu
Uncle Cristobal came back
Des pesos des lingots il en a le cul cousu
Pesos, ingots, his ass is sewn up
La famille hypocrite crie vive le barbu
The hypocritical family shouts long live the bearded man
Tonton Cristobal est revenu
Uncle Cristobal came back
Depuis que tonton est là on fume de la marijuana
Since uncle has been here we have been smoking marijuana
On fout des coups de pétard partout nos parents mouftent pas
We're setting off firecrackers everywhere, our parents don't mind
Le matin après le chocolat on chique
In the morning after chocolate we chew
Et on crache à six pas comme au Mexique
And we spit at six paces like in Mexico
Il était chef guérillero et dur comme un silex
He was a guerrilla leader and tough as flint
Il a battu José Corral au poignard en solex
He beat José Corral with a solex dagger
Estafilé de l'oreille à la bouche
Cut from ear to mouth
L'autre avait un bel abreuvoir à mouches
The other had a nice fly trough
Tonton Cristobal est revenu
Uncle Cristobal came back
Des pesos des lingots il en a le cul cousu
Pesos, ingots, his ass is sewn up
La famille hypocrite crie vive le barbu
The hypocritical family shouts long live the bearded man
Tonton Cristobal est revenu
Uncle Cristobal came back
Je vais maintenant vous le décrire il est petit mignon
I will now describe him to you, he is little cute
Il a le tuyau d'échappement plutôt près du gazon
It has the exhaust pipe rather close to the grass
Des pieds au blair il est plein de cicatrices
From the feet to the blair it is full of scars
Truffé de valdas dans le tiroir à saucisses
Full of valdas in the sausage drawer
Avec ses escalopes il sait toujours d'où vient le vent
With his cutlets he always knows where the wind is coming from
Il lui reste une dent en or juste sur le devant
He has one gold tooth left right on the front
Cristobal vous sentez un peu la chèvre
Cristobal you smell a little like a goat
Disait ma mère en lui tendant ses lèvres
Said my mother, offering him her lips
Tonton Cristobal est revenu
Uncle Cristobal came back
Des pesos des lingots il en a le cul cousu
Pesos, ingots, his ass is sewn up
La famille hypocrite crie vive le barbu
The hypocritical family shouts long live the bearded man
Tonton Cristobal est revenu
Uncle Cristobal came back
Tonton est mort un jour d'avoir oublié de respirer
Uncle died one day from forgetting to breathe
Sa distraction fatale nous ses copains nous fit pleurer
His fatal distraction made us his friends cry
Honteux de voir nos parents qui plaisantent
Ashamed to see our parents joking
Autour de sa dépouille encore fumante
Around his still smoking remains
Mais un fantôme depuis punit cette famille ingrate
But a ghost has since punished this ungrateful family
Quand ces bourreaux nous ont meurtri les miches à coups de savate
When these executioners bruised our ass with sandals
Il vient la nuit tirer les pieds de ma mère
He comes at night to pull my mother's feet
Qui aussitôt fout une baffe à mon père
Who immediately slaps my father
Tonton Cristobal est revenu
Uncle Cristobal came back
Des pesos des lingots il en a le cul cousu
Pesos, ingots, his ass is sewn up
La famille hypocrite crie vive le barbu
The hypocritical family shouts long live the bearded man
Tonton Cristobal est revenu
Uncle Cristobal came back
Tonton Cristobal est revenu
Uncle Cristobal came back
Des pesos des lingots
Pesos, ingots
Rien ne sera perdu
Nothing will be lost
Car le testament lègue aux neveux les écus
Because the will bequeaths to the nephews the crowns
Tonton Cristobal est revenu
Uncle Cristobal came back
