Lyrics
Pagaie, pas gai,
Sur cette vieille Loire.
Pagaie, pas gai:
T’arriveras nulle part,
Héron.
Là-haut, guetteur,
Vois-tu, vois-tu ailleurs?
Bout d’bois,
Beau caoutchouc,
Flotte-moi
Plus loin qu’chez nous.
Baignoire,
Tu m’as menti.
Ailleurs, ailleurs c’est comme ici.
Rame, rame. Rameurs, ramez.
On avance àrien dans c’canoë.
Là-haut,
On t’mène en bateau:
Tu n’pourras jamais tout quitter, t’en aller…
Tais-toi et rame.
J’m’en vais
Mais l’eau est lasse.
Chaumont,
Langeais,
A peine Amboise.
Amour, cordon, ficelle serrée,
Lâchez, lâchez: j’veux m’en aller.
Lyrics translation
Paddle, step gay,
On this old Loire.
Paddle, step gay:
You'll get nowhere,
Heron.
Up there, watchman. ,
Do you see, do you see anywhere else?
Piece of wood,
Beautiful rubber,
Float me
Further than home.
Bathtub,
You lied to me.
Elsewhere, elsewhere it's like here.
Copper, copper. Rowers, row.
We're moving in the canoe.
Up there,
We're taking you by boat.:
You can never leave everything, go away…
Shut up and row.
I'm leaving.
But the water is tired.
Chaumont,
Langeais,
Barely Amboise.
Love, cord, tight string,
Let go, let go: I want to go.
