Lyrics
Y avait une fois deux bons copains
Poil dans la main, rien dans la poche
Mais des tas d’choses dans la caboche
Qui s’en allaient par les chemins
Y avait un p’tit et puis un grand
Le p’tit avait l’intelligence
Le grand il avait la puissance
Dans les coups durs, y s’mettait d’vant
Et tous les deux
Le p’tit et l’grand
Le coeur joyeux allaient chantant
Bras d’ssus bras d’ssous comme des fous
Tralalala, on s’en va Mais un jour on reviendra
On aura beaucoup bu Et beaucoup retenu
Rien qu’avec nos souv’nirs
On pourra s’enrichir
Tralalala, on s’en va Mais un jour on reviendra
Ils eurent soif, ils eurent faim
Crev? rent de froid, firent naufrage
S’remplirent la t? te d’un tas d’mirages
S’coll?rent des ampoules plein les mains
Ils s’en allaient tout droit d’vant eux
Passant de l’Europe en Afrique
Et puis de l? en Am? rique
Les v’la un jour rev’nus chez eux
Et tous les deux
Le p’tit et l’grand
Le coeur joyeux allaient chantant
Bras d’ssus bras d’ssous comme des fous
Tralalala, nous voila
C’est assez roul? comme? a Approchez, les amis
On a vu du pays
Rien qu’avec nos souv’nirs
On va vous enrichir
Tralalala, nous voila
C’est assez roul? comme? a Ils s’croyaient des types merveilleux
Parce qu’ils savaient des tas d’histoires
Mais personne ne voulait les croire
On n’les prenait pas au s? rieux
Et, d? go?t?s, les deux copains
Froid dans le coeur, rien dans la poche
Mais des tas d’choses dans la caboche
Sont repartis par les chemins
Et tous les deux
Le p’tit et l’grand
Pleurs dans les yeux, s’en vont gueulant
Bras d’ssus bras d’ssous «bah, on s’en fout !»
Tralalala, on s’en va Ces gens-l? n’nous comprennent pas
Y travaillent jusqu’au bout
Pour finir dans un trou
Sans rien? se raconter
Quand y s’ront d’l’autre c? t?
Tralalala, on s’en va
V’la notre soleil qui brille l?-bas
Tralalala lalalala
Lyrics translation
Once Upon a time there were two good friends
Hair in the hand, nothing in the pocket
But lots of things in the head
Who went by the paths
There was a little bit and then a big one
The little guy had the intelligence.
The great he had the power
In hard blows, he boasted
And both
The little and the big
The Joyful Heart went singing
Ssus arms ssous arms like crazy
Tralalala, we're leaving but one day we'll come back
We'll have a lot of drinking and a lot of holding
Just with our Souv'nirs
We can get rich
Tralalala, we're leaving but one day we'll come back
They were thirsty, they were hungry
Crev? rent of cold, made shipwreck
Filled the t? you from a bunch of mirages
S'coll?rent bulbs full hands
They were going straight away
Moving from Europe to Africa
And then l? am? rique
The V'la one day Rev'nus at home
And both
The little and the big
The Joyful Heart went singing
Ssus arms ssous arms like crazy
Tralalala, here we are
Is that hard enough? like? come closer, friends.
We've seen some country.
Just with our Souv'nirs
We will enrich you
Tralalala, here we are
Is that hard enough? like? a they thought they were wonderful types
Because they knew a lot of stories
But no one wanted to believe them
We didn't take them in the s? rieux
And, d? go?t?s, both buddies
Cold in the heart, nothing in the pocket
But lots of things in the head
Are left by the paths
And both
The little and the big
Crying in the eyes, go away yawning
Arms of ssus arms of ssus " well, we don't care !»
Tralalala, shall we leave these people? do not understand us
Work to the end
To end up in a hole
With nothing? tell each other
When will they go to the other c? t?
Tralalala, we're leaving.
V'la our sun shining l?-low
Tralalala lalalala
