Lyrics
Jean le routier roule sur la route.
Il y a les arbres, il y a les champs,
La pluie qui tombe? grosses gouttes,

Il y a le froid et le soleil.
Il y a le jour, il y a la nuit
Et la fatigue, et le sommeil
Et les quinze tonnes, ?a fait du bruit
…Mais il y a aussi? la maison
Sa petite Martine et sa chanson.
«Jean va rentrer de sa tourn? e»,
Chante Martine dans sa cuisine.
«Il sera s? rement fatigu?,
Il aura sa pauvre petite mine
Mais je pourrai le regarder
Et l’embrasser pendant qu’il d? ne Et le soigner, le cajoler

Il aura sa pauvre petite mine.
…Je vais le soigner, le cajoler…
Et me serrer sur sa poitrine
Plus tard quand il s’endormira…
Non ! Non ! NON …
Jean… Jean…
Oh ! Jean !"
Lyrics translation
Jean Le routier is driving on the road.
There are trees, there are fields,
The falling rain? large drops,
'there's the turns, there's the wind.
There is cold and sun.
There's day, there's night
And fatigue, and sleep
And the fifteen tons, ?made noise
... But there are also? house
Her little Martine and her song.
"Is Jean coming back from his tourn? U.S.A.»,
Martine sings in her kitchen.
"It will be s? rement fatigu?,
He'll have his poor little mine
But I can watch it
And kiss him while he d? do and care for him, cajole him
And squeeze me on his chest.
Later when he falls asleep
I'll be in her arms…»

He's a gentleman with a letter.
He looks dark and ennuy?.
"The Company ... Condolence? ances…

That's not true ... she doesn't believe it.

Later when he falls asleep…
No ! No ! NO …
