Lyrics
Il n’avait que dix ans mais il? tait d? j?
Bagarreur, insolent, plein de violence.
Il voulait? tre un dur tout comme au cin? ma Et partout, c’est lui qui menait la danse.
Il passait ses journ? es? courir dans les rues,
Ne pensant qu'? se battre, qu'? cogner…
Sa m? re d? sesp?r?e et qui n’en pouvait plus
Passait tout son temps? supplier:
«N'y vas pas, Manuel, n’y vas pas.
'y a des choses dans la vie qu’on ne fait pas
Et plus tard, tu le regretteras.
N’y vas pas ! N’y vas pas !
Quand enfin un jour tu comprendras
Que vraiment t’as eu tort de faire? a,
Il sera bien trop tard, n’y vas pas.
Manuel, n’y vas pas.»
C’est maintenant un monsieur qui n’aime pas les agents.
Il veut pas qu’on se m? le de ses affaires.
Pour avoir la belle vie, il faut beaucoup d’argent
Et pour? a, 'y pas trente-six mani? res.
Le travail, ?a l’ennuie et puis, c’est fatiguant.
Il se d? brouille tr? s bien sans trop d’effort.
Sa femme qu’il g? te beaucoup mais qui n’en demande pas tant
Lui r? p?te tous les soirs quand il sort:
«N'y vas pas, Manuel, n’y vas pas.
'y a des choses dans la vie qu’on ne fait pas
Et plus tard, tu le regretteras
N’y vas pas ! N’y vas pas !
Quand enfin un jour tu comprendras
Que vraiment t’as eu tort de faire? a,
Il sera bien trop tard, n’y vas pas.
Manuel, n’y vas pas.»
Mais de tous leurs sermons, Manuel se fout bien.
Ce soir, il fait un coup magnifique.
Ce sera le dernier car, d? s demain matin,
Il va faire peau neuve en Am? rique.
D’un pas souple et l? ger il s’en va tranquillement
Vers l’endroit o? ils ont rendez-vous.
Tout est calme et pourtant, il entend vaguement
Une voix qui vient on ne sait d’o?:
«N'y vas pas, Manuel, n’y vas pas…
'y des choses dans la vie qu’on ne fait pas…
Et plus tard, tu le regretteras…
N’y vas pas ! N’y vas pas !
Attention, Manuel, sois prudent ! Attention,
Manuel, n’y vas pas …
Manuel, ATTENTION MA-NU-EL… !
…ohhh … Manuel …»
Lyrics translation
He was only ten but he? tait d? j?
Brawler, insolent, full of violence.
He wanted to? be a tough guy just like the cin? ma and everywhere he was leading the dance.
He spent his days? is it? running in the streets,
Not thinking what? fight what? bump…
To me? re d? sesp?r?e and who could not
Spent all his time? beg:
"Don't go, Manuel, don't go.
'there are things in life that we don't do
And later, you'll regret it.
Don't go ! Don't go !
When finally one day you will understand
What was wrong with you? to,
It'll be too late, Don't go.
Manuel, don't go.»
Now he's a gentleman who doesn't like agents.
He doesn't want us to get together? his business.
To have the good life, it takes a lot of money
And for? a, ' y no thirty-six mani? re.
Work, ?bored and then it's tiring.
He gets d? TR blur? s well without much effort.
His wife he g? te a lot but who does not ask so much
R's? p?te every night when he goes out:
"Don't go, Manuel, don't go.
'there are things in life that we don't do
And later, you'll regret it
Don't go ! Don't go !
When finally one day you will understand
What was wrong with you? to,
It'll be too late, Don't go.
Manuel, don't go.»
But of all their sermons, Manuel doesn't give a shit.
Tonight, he's doing a great job.
This will be the last bus, d? s tomorrow morning,
Is he going to get a new look in Am? rique.
A soft step and l? ger he leaves quietly
To place o? they have an appointment.
Everything is calm and yet he hears vaguely
A voice that comes not known o?:
"Don't go, Manuel, don't go…
'there are things in life that we don't do…
And later, you'll regret it…
Don't go ! Don't go !
Be careful, Manuel, be careful ! Attention,
Manuel, don't go. …
Manuel, ATTENTION MA-NU-EL… !
…ohhh … Manuel …»
