Lyrics

Quand il traîne les rues de mon quartier
Toutes les filles sont émerveillées
Quand il leur regarde dans les yeux
Elles gémissent «Quel filou, oh mon Dieu»

Quand il traîne les rues de Montparnasse
Toutes les dames désirent qu’il les embrasse
Elles murmurent «Quel homme fabuleux»
Elles gémissent «Quel filou, oh mon Dieu»

Quel filou, quel filou, quel filou
Elles donneraient tout pour une aventure nocturne
Quel filou, quel filou, quel filou
Elles donneraient tout, mais le filou, lui, il s’en fout

Regardez comme il passe les cafés
Admirez son élégance, sa légèreté
Écoutez quand il chante les chansons du temps passé
Quel filou, oh mon Dieu

Quel filou, quel filou, quel filou
Elles donneraient tout pour une aventure nocturne
Quel filou, quel filou, quel filou
Elles donneraient tout, mais le filou, lui, il s'en fout

Et pourtant, moi, je l’admire
Mais jamais je m’laisse aller
Son sourire, son imposante posture me plaît

Mais un jour il m’a regardé
Dès ce jour il s’est métamorphosé
Il m’a vu et il est tombé à genoux
Et il gémit «Pour toi je ferai tout»

Quel filou, quel filou, quel filou
Il donnerait tout pour une aventure nocturne
Quel filou, quel filou, quel filou
Il donnerait tout, mais moi, oui, je m’en fous

Quel filou, quel filou, quel filou
Il donnerait tout pour une aventure nocturne
Quel filou, quel filou, quel filou
Il donnerait tout, mais moi, oui, je m’en fous

Il donnerait tout, mais moi, oui, je m’en fous
Il donnerait tout, mais moi, j’m’en fous du filou

Lyrics translation

When trolling the streets in my neighbourhood All the girls are amazed When they look in the eyes They moan "What a faker, oh my God" When he's trolling the streets of Montparnasse, All the ladies wish that he embraces They murmur, "What a fabulous man," They cry, "What a faker, oh my God" What a faker, what a faker, what a fraud They would give everything for an adventure night-What a faker, what a faker, what a fraud They would give everything, but the trickster, him, he doesn't care Look as he goes to the cafés, Admire its elegance, its lightness Listen to when he sings the songs of the time past What a faker, oh my God, What a faker, what a faker, what a fraud They would give everything for an adventure night-What a faker, what a faker, what a fraud They would give everything, but the trickster, he doesn't care And yet, I admire him, But never I let go of His smile, his imposing posture appeals to me, But one day he looked at me From that day on, it has changed beyond recognition, He saw me and he dropped to his knees And he groaned, "For you I will do everything" What a faker, what a faker, what a faker He would give everything for an adventure night-What a faker, what a faker, what a faker He would give everything, but me, yes, I don't care What a faker, what a faker, what a faker He would give everything for an adventure night-What a faker, what a fraud what a faker He would give everything, but me, yes, I don't care He would give all, but for me, yes, I don't care He would give all, but for me, I don't care for the trickster
