Lyrics
Un certain dimanche matin
Il prit dans son armoire
Sans avoir à chercher bien loin
Sa vieille veste noire
Mais monsieur le soleil
Tout à coup se réveille
Aussitôt, Oh ! Oh !
Il se dit: «Aujourd'hui
Les soucis sont finis
J' vais sortir le gris»
Qu’il était beau le complet gris
Que ce jour-là, il avait mis
Et le temps, justement, pour lui plaire
Avait pris sa couleur la plus claire
En le voyant, on aurait dit
Que le printemps chantait pour lui
Qu’il était beau, le complet gris
Que ce jour-là il avait mis
On n’a pas besoin d’aller loin
Surtout quand on sait plaire
Et quand elle apparut soudain
Il fit ce qu’il faut faire
Et les voilà partis
Pour tout l’après-midi
Aussitôt, Oh ! Oh !
Que voulez-vous qu’elle fît
Devant un complet gris
Sinon lui dire oui?
Qu’il était beau le complet gris
Que ce jour-là, il avait mis
Et le temps, justement, pour lui plaire
Avait pris sa couleur la plus claire
En le voyant, on aurait dit
Que le printemps chantait pour lui
Qu’il était beau, le complet gris
Que ce jour-là il avait mis
Nul ne peut prévoir le destin
Elle sut tellement lui plaire
Qu’il alla dès le lendemain
La d’mander à son père
Mais n’ayant pas d’habit
Pour la cérémonie
Aussitôt, Oh ! Oh !
Elle lui dit: «Mon chéri
Te fais pas de soucis
Remets donc le gris»
Qu’il était beau le complet gris
Que ce jour-là, il avait mis
Et le temps, justement, pour lui plaire
Avait pris sa couleur la plus claire
En le voyant, on aurait dit
Que le printemps chantait pour lui
Qu’il était beau, le complet gris
Que ce jour-là il avait mis
Lyrics translation
A certain Sunday morning
He took it in his closet
Without having to look far away
His old black jacket
But monsieur le soleil
Suddenly wakes up
Right Away, Oh ! Oh !
He said to himself, "today
Worries are over
I'll take out the gray»
That it was beautiful the gray suit
That day he had put
And the time, precisely, to please him
Had taken its lightest color
When we saw him, it looked like
That spring sang for him
That he was beautiful, the gray suit
That day he had put
We don't have to go far
Especially when you know how to please
And when she suddenly appeared
He did the right thing.
And here they are gone
For the whole afternoon
Right Away, Oh ! Oh !
What do you want her to do
In front of a gray suit
Or say yes?
That it was beautiful the gray suit
That day he had put
And the time, precisely, to please him
Had taken its lightest color
When we saw him, it looked like
That spring sang for him
That he was beautiful, the gray suit
That day he had put
No one can foresee fate
She knew how to please him so much
That he went the next day
The mander to his father
But not having a habit
For the ceremony
Right Away, Oh ! Oh !
She said to him, "My Dear
Don't worry
Put the Grey back on»
That it was beautiful the gray suit
That day he had put
And the time, precisely, to please him
Had taken its lightest color
When we saw him, it looked like
That spring sang for him
That he was beautiful, the gray suit
That day he had put
