Docteur Jekyll Et Monsieur Hyde Lyrics in English by Serge Gainsbourg
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Docteur Jekyll Et Monsieur Hyde by Serge Gainsbourg from French to English.
(Hello, Docteur Jekyll)
(Hello, Doctor Jekyll)
Non, je ne suis pas le Docteur Jekyll
No, I'm not Doctor Jekyll
(Hello, Docteur Jekyll)
(Hello, Doctor Jekyll)
Mon nom est Hyde, Mister Hyde
My name is Hyde, Mister Hyde
Docteur Jekyll avait en lui
Doctor Jekyll had in him
Un Monsieur Hyde qui était son mauvais génie
A Mister Hyde who was his evil genius
Mister Hyde ne disait rien
Mister Hyde said nothing
Mais en secret n'en pensait pas moins
But in secret thought no less of it
(Hello, Docteur Jekyll)
(Hello, Doctor Jekyll)
Je vous dis que je ne suis pas le docteur Jekyll
I tell you I'm not Doctor Jekyll
(Hello, Docteur Jekyll)
(Hello, Doctor Jekyll)
Mon nom est Hyde, Mister Hyde
My name is Hyde, Mister Hyde
Docteur Jekyll n'a eu dans sa vie
Doctor Jekyll only had in his life
Que des petites garçes qui se foutaient de lui
Little b*tches who didn't give a f*ck about him
Mister Hyde dans son cœur
Mister Hyde in his heart
Prenait des notes pour le docteur
Was taking notes for the doctor
(Hello, Docteur Jekyll)
(Hello, Doctor Jekyll)
Il n'y a plus de Docteur Jekyll
There's no more Doctor Jekyll
(Hello, Docteur Jekyll)
(Hello, Doctor Jekyll)
Mon nom est Hyde, Mister Hyde
My name is Hyde, Mister Hyde
Docteur Jekyll un jour a compris
Doctor Jekyll one day understood
Que c'est ce Monsieur Hyde qu'on aimait en lui
That it's this Mister Hyde people loved in him
Mister Hyde, ce salaud
Mister Hyde, this b*stard
A fait la peau, la peau du Docteur Jekyll
Killed him, killed Doctor Jekyll
(Docteur Jekyll)
(Doctor Jekyll)
(Docteur Jekyll)
(Doctor Jekyll)
(Docteur Jekyll)
(Doctor Jekyll)
(Docteur Jekyll)
(Doctor Jekyll)

Did you like this lyrics translation?
salaud — bastard / scoundrel
Salaud is a strong, somewhat vulgar term that translates to "bastard" or "scoundrel." It's not an everyday word you'd use in polite conversation, making it quite striking in a song.
In the context of Serge Gainsbourg's song, it's used to describe Mister Hyde, the evil alter ego, who ultimately "gets rid of" or "kills" Docteur Jekyll. The word perfectly captures the treacherous and malevolent nature of Hyde, adding a dramatic punch to the narrative.
