Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Un P'tit Bock by Yves Montand from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Dans un cabaret somptueux, il est entré clignant les yeux
Into a sumptuous cabaret he entered blinking his eyes
Mais le garçon très obséquieux lui dit 'Que prendra donc Monsieur
But the very obsequious boy said to him, 'What will Monsieur take?
Consommation, 300 francs, Whisky, Gin Fizz, Manhattan, Egg-nogg
Consumption, 300 francs, Whiskey, Gin Fizz, Manhattan, Egg-nogg
Porto Flip, Pick me up, Pick me up Un p'tit bock, un p'tit bock
Porto Flip, Pick me up, Pick me up A little bock, a little bock
Ce sera dans mes prix, un p'tit bock
It will be in my price, a little bock
Tout le monde s'est mis a rigoler, la pauvre gars était gêné
Everyone started laughing, the poor guy was embarrassed
Pour se rattraper il dit vivement 'Avec une paille évidemment'
To make up for it he said quickly 'With a straw obviously'
Un p'tit bock, ça me choque, je préfère croire que Monsieur se moque
A little beer, that shocks me, I prefer to believe that Monsieur is making fun
Il a regardé, a dit bien fort 'Mais je suis le Duc de Klingsor'
He looked, said loudly 'But I am the Duke of Klingsor'
Avec un fort accent anglais, 'Je ne bois que ça dans mon palais
With a strong English accent, 'I only drink that in my palate
Un p'tit bock, please, un p'tit bock, please
A little beer, please, a little beer, please
Ça m'est égal si ça vous choque'
I don't care if it shocks you'
Certains snobs qui étaient là, à cette soirée de gala
Some snobs who were there at this gala evening
Se mirent a commander aussi le verre de la démocratie
They also began to order the glass of democracy
Et un p'tit bock, garçon, un p'tit bock
And a little beer, boy, a little beer
Écoutez, mais c'est divin, c'est tout bonnement divin
Listen, but it's divine, it's simply divine
Et puis c'est tellement, comment dirais-je, tellement Paris
And then it’s so, how would I say, so Paris
Et d'une simplicité, écoutez, n'est-ce pas
And with a simplicity, listen, don't you
