Lyrics
Voilà les matelas, les matelas, matelassiers qui passent.
Ça va carder.
Allez, allez, matelassiers.
Gloire aux matelas — aux matelas, et aux matelassiers.
Quel beau métier, car il touche toutes les couches de la société.
Les matelassiers
— Salut.
— Ah ! Salut. Ça va?
— Ça va et toil' à matelas?
— Oh, amusant. La prochaine fois, c’est moi qui vous l’dis, hein?
— D'accord? Bon.
Mon père était matelassier.
Mon grand-père était matelassier.
Mon arrière-grand-père était matelassier.
Et moi-même, je suis…
— Matelassier?
— Mais non, me soufflez pas, voyons, je l’sais… matelassier.
— Salut
— Ah vous revoilà? Alors, c’coup-là, c’est moi qui vous l’dis, hein?
Bon alors, comment ça va?
— Ça va, et vous?
— A matelas… Oh, je saisis vite, moi, vous savez… Bon, ah, oui.
Mon pantalon est sous l’matelas.
Tout mon pognon est sous l’matelas.
Par-dessus tout ça, il y a Irma.
Et moi-même, je suis…
— Sous le matelas?
— Mais non… Décidément, vous êtes bête… dans ses draps !
Les matelassiers, les mat…
— Ah bon, vous êtes partis? Bon, beuh, au r’voir… à matelas
Ha ha ha ha ha, je crois qu’j’ai eu l’mot d' la fin là !
Lyrics translation
Here are the mattresses, mattresses, quilters passing by.
It'll carve.
Come on, Come on, quilters.
Glory to mattresses — to mattresses, and to quilters.
What a beautiful profession, because it affects all layers of society.
The quilters
— Salvation.
- Ah ! Hello. What's up?
- How's the mattress?
- Oh, fun. Next time, I'll tell you, right?
- Okay? Good.
My father was a quilter.
My grandfather was a quilter.
My great-grandfather was a quilter.
And I myself am…
- Matelassier?
- But no, don't blow me, come on, I know... Quilter.
— Salvation
- Oh, you're back? So, this is me telling you, huh?
So, how are you?
- How are you?
- A mattress ... Oh, I get it fast, I, you know... well, ah, yes.
My pants are under the mattress.
All my money is under the mattress.
On top of that, there's Irma.
And I myself am…
- Under the mattress?
- But no... you're definitely stupid ... in his sheets !
The quilters, the mat…
- Well, you're gone? All right, well, at the R'vere... mattress
Ha ha ha ha ha, I think I got the end word there !
