J's'rai content quand tu s'ras mort
I'll be happy when you're dead
Vieille Canaille
Old Rascal
J's'rai content quand tu s'ras mort
I'll be happy when you're dead
Vieille Canaille
Old Rascal
Tu ne perds rien pour attendre
You lose nothing for waiting
Je saurai bien te descendre
I know how to take you down
J's'rai content d'avoir ta peau
I'm happy to have your skin
Vieux Chameau
Old Camel
Moi je t'ai reçu à bras ouverts
I received you with open arms
Vieille Canaille
Old Rascal
Y'avais toujours ton couvert
You still had your cover
Vieille Canaille
Old Rascal
T'as brûlé tous mes tapis
You burned all my rugs
T'as même fumé dans mon lit
You even smoked in my bed
T'as sifflé tout mon Wisky
You drank all my Wisky
Vieux Bandit
Old Bandit
Puis j't'ai présenté ma femme
Then I introduced you to my wife
Vieille Canaille
Old Rascal
J't'ai présenté ma femme
I introduced you to my wife
Vieille Canaille
Old Rascal
Tu lui a fait du baratin
You gave him a bullshit
Tu l'as embrassé dans les coins
You kissed it in the corners
Dès que j'avais tourné le dos
As soon as I turned my back
Vieux Chameau
Old Camel
Mais j'suis parti avec elle
But I left with her
Vieille Canaille
Old Rascal
Oui je suis parti avec elle
Yes I left with her
Vieille Canaille
Old Rascal
En emportant la vaisselle
Taking the dishes
Le dessus d'lit en dentelle
The lace bedspread
Tes cassettes ton magnéto
Your cassettes your tape recorder
Vieux Chameau
Old Camel
j'ai sorti mon fusil
I took out my rifle
Vieille Canaille
Old Rascal
j'ai sorti mon fusil
I took out my rifle
Vieille Canaille
Old Rascal
Et quand j'te tiendrai au bout
And when I hold you to the end
Je rigolerai un bon coup
I'll have a good laugh
Et j't'aurai vite refroidi
And I'll quickly cool you down
Vieux Bandit
Old Bandit
Mais on te mettra dans un' tombe
But we will put you in a grave
Vieille Canaille
Old Rascal
Et moi j'irai faire la bombe
And I will go and make the bomb
Vieille Canaille
Old Rascal
À coups de petits verres d'eau-de vie
With small glasses of brandy
La plus belle cuite de ma vie
The most beautiful bake of my life
Sera pour tes funérailles
Will be for your funeral
Vieille Canaille
Old Rascal
Vieille Canaille
Old Rascal
