Lyrics
Son papa s’appelle Abraham
Il est l’enfant du macadam
Tout comm' sa môme en est la fille
A la Bastille
A quinze ans a s’app’lait Nini
All' tait grosse et grass' comme un I
A f’sait des travaux à l’aiguille
A la Bastille
Quand alle eut seize ans révolus
A s’app’lait… je n’me rappell' pus
A s’prom’nait autour de la grille
A la Bastille
On la rencontrait tous les soirs
Parfois l'éclat d’ses grands yeux noirs
Faisaient pâlir la lun' qui brille
A la Bastille
Maint’nant a sert dan' eun' maison
Où qu’on boit d’la bière à foison
Et du champagne qui pétille
A la Bastille
Ses tables sont un rendez-vous;
Les jeunes, les vieux y vont tous;
I' faut voir comme a les étrille
A la Bastille
Pour eun' thune a r’tir' son chapeau
Pour deux thun’s a r’tir' son manteau
Pour un sigue on la déshabille
A la Bastille
Alle a pas encore eu d’amant
Alle a qu’son père et sa maman
C’est ell' qui soutient sa famille
A la Bastille
Son papa s’appelle Abraham
Il est l’enfant du macadam
Tout comm' sa môme en est la fille
A la Bastille
Lyrics translation
His dad's name is Abraham
He is the child of macadam
Everything like her kid is her daughter
At the Bastille
At fifteen a s'app'late Nini
All 'tait fat and grass' like a I
A f'know of Needlework
At the Bastille
When alle turned sixteen
A s'app'milk... I don't remember' pus
A walks around the grid
At the Bastille
We met her every night.
Sometimes the glow of her big black eyes
Made the lun shine pale
At the Bastille
Maint'nant a SERT dan' eun ' maison
Where we drink plenty of beer
And sparkling champagne
At the Bastille
His tables are a rendezvous;
The young, the old all go there;
I ' must see how has the etrils
At the Bastille
For eun 'thune has R'tri' his hat
For two Thun's A R'tri ' his coat
For a sigue we undress her
At the Bastille
Alle hasn't had a lover yet.
Alle has only her father and mother
It is she who supports her family
At the Bastille
His dad's name is Abraham
He is the child of macadam
Everything like her kid is her daughter
At the Bastille
