Lyrics
Si les mystères de la vie
Vous mènent àzéro,
N’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas trop.
Pourquoi, lorsque tombe la pluie,
Nous vient-elle d’en haut?
N’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas trop.
Pourquoi la lune a-t-elle une influence
Sur les marées des océans immenses?
Pourquoi le paon dit-il «Léon»,
Le coq «Cocorico»?
N’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas trop.
Si vous avez soif la nuit
Et qu’il n’y ait pas d’eau,
N’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas trop.
Si, pour traverser Paris,
Vous prenez le métro,
N’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas trop.
Un peu d’oubli ne fait pas de mal en toutes choses
Et trop de génie vous rend parfois morose.
Si vous jouez de la guitare
Et pas du banjo,
N’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas trop.
Pourquoi dit-on mon beau-frère
A un type pas beau?
N’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas trop.
Et pourquoi: ver «solitaire»
Avec tant d’anneaux?
N’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas trop.
Pourquoi dit-on qu’elle est grande, cette petite?
Pourquoi le saumon
A-t-il le goût de la truite?
Pourquoi cette bonne est mauvaise
Et ces bas sont hauts?
N’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas trop.
Si vous ignorez l’algèbre,
Les points cardinaux,
N’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas trop.
Si vous confondez le zèbre
Avec le taureau,
N’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas trop.
Soyez heureux
Avec le peu de science
Qui rend joyeux
Les braves gens sans méfiance.
Pourquoi les vaches ont des puces
Et les puces pas de veaux?
N’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas trop.
Laissez faire le monde qui tourne.
C’est la loi d’En-Haut.
N’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas, n’y pensez pas trop.
Lyrics translation
If the mysteries of life
Take you to zero,
Don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it too much.
Why, when the rain falls,
Is it from above?
Don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it too much.
Why does the Moon have an influence
On the tides of the huge oceans?
Why does the peacock say " Leo»,
The "Cocorico" Roosters?
Don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it too much.
If you are thirsty at night
And that there is no water,
Don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it too much.
So, to cross Paris,
You take the subway,
Don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it too much.
A little forgetfulness does not hurt in all things
And too much genius sometimes makes you morose.
If you play the guitar
And no banjo,
Don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it too much.
Why do they say my brother-in-law
A bad-looking guy?
Don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it too much.
And why: worm " solitaire»
With so many rings?
Don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it too much.
Why do they say she's big?
Why salmon
Does it taste like Trout?
Why this good is bad
And those stockings are high?
Don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it too much.
If you ignore algebra,
The cardinal points,
Don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it too much.
If you confuse the zebra
With the bull,
Don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it too much.
Be happy
With little science
That makes it joyful
The brave unsuspecting people.
Why cows have fleas
And fleas no calves?
Don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it too much.
Let the world go round.
It's the law from above.
Don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it too much.
