These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Je suis l'homme à la tête de chou
I am the man with the cabbage head
Moitié légume, moitié mec
Half vegetable, half man
Pour les beaux yeux de Marilou
For Marilou's beautiful eyes
Je suis allé porter au clou ma Remington
I went to nail my Remington
Et puis mon break
And then my station wagon
J'étais à fond de cale, à bout de nerfs
I was at the bottom of the hold, at my wit's end
J'avais plus un kopeck
I no longer had a kopek
Du jour où je me mis avec elle je perdis
From the day I started with her I lost
À peu près tout
Almost everything
Mon job à la feuille de chou
My cabbage leaf job
À scandales
To scandals
Qui m'donnait le bifteck
Who gave me the steak
J'étais fini, foutu, échec
I was finished, screwed up, failed
Et mat aux yeux d'Marilou
And checkmate in the eyes of Marilou
Qui m'traitait comme un blanc-bec
Who treated me like a greenhorn
Et m'rendait moitié coucou
And half hello to me
Ah non, tu peux pas savoir mec
Oh no, you can't know man
Il lui fallait les discothèques
He needed discos
Et bouffer au Kangourou club
And eat at the Kangaroo club
Alors j'signais des chèques sans provision j'étais fou, fou
So I was signing bad checks, I was crazy, crazy
À la fin j'y fis le caillou comme un melon
In the end I made the stone there like a melon
Une pastèque
A watermelon
Mais comment
But how
J'vais pas tout déballer comme ça, aussi sec
I'm not going to unpack everything like that, so dry
Quoi? Moi? L'aimer encore? Des clous
What? Me? Still love her? Nails
Qui et où suis-je?
Who and where am I?
Chou ici ou
cabbage here or
Dans la blanche écume varech
In the white kelp foam
Sur la plage de Malibu
On the beach in Malibu
