Refrain
Chorus
Du rhum, des femm's, et d'la bièr'nom de Dieu
Rum, women, and beer in the name of God
Un accordéon pour valser tant qu'on veut
An accordion to waltz as much as you want
Du rhum, des femm's, c'est ça qui rend heureux
Rum, women, that’s what makes you happy
Que l'diabl' nous emport', on n'a rien trouvé d'mieux
Let the devil take us away, we haven't found anything better
On n'a rien trouvé d'mieux
We couldn't find anything better
Hello cap'tain fais briller tes galons
Hello cap'tain, shine your stripes
Et reste bien au chaud
And stay warm
Quand on gêl' sur le pont
When we freeze on deck
Nous c'est not' pein' qui nous coul' sur le front
For us, it's our pain that falls on our foreheads
Alors tiens bien les rênes
So hold the reins tight
Tu connais la chanson
You know the song
Ca fait une paye qu'on a pas touché terre
That's a paycheck that we haven't touched the ground
Et même une paye qu'on s'fait
And even a paycheck that we make
Des gonzesses en poster
Girls in posters
Tant pis pour celle qui s'pointera la première
Too bad for the one who shows up first
J'lui démonte la pass'relle
I dismantle the gangway
La cale, la dunette arrière
The hold, the rear poop
Tout est gravé quelque part sur ma peau
It's all etched somewhere on my skin
Tell'ment qu'j'en ai les bras
So much so that I have arms
Comme des romans-phonos
Like phono novels
Blessures de guerre, culs d'bouteilles, coups d'couteaux
War wounds, bottle ends, knife wounds
Tant qu'y'aura des comptoirs
As long as there are counters
On aura des héros
We will have heroes
Trois miles du Cap, c'est les foies, c'est les glandes
Three miles from Cape Town, it's the livers, it's the glands
Quand t'as l'coeur qui dérape
When your heart is racing
Et les tripes qui fermentent
And the fermenting guts
J'essaie d'penser au claque aux filles qui s'impatientent
I try to think about smacking girls who get impatient
Pas au bateau qui craque
Not to the creaking boat
Entre deux déferlantes
Between two waves
