Lyrics

Jean rentre au village
Son père chercher,
Le cherche trois heures,
Où s’est-il caché?
Mais un brave c ur lui dit:
Ton papa, pauvre petit,
Il est en hospice,
Le bon Dieu n’est pas gentil.
Jean va-t-en hospice
Son père chercher.
Le cherche trois heures,
Où s’est-il caché?
Mais un brave c ur lui dit
Ton papa pauvre petit
L’est déjà-t-en morgue,
Le bon Dieu n’est pas gentil.
Jean s’en va-t-en morgue
Son père chercher,
Le cherche trois heures,
Où s’est-il caché?
Mais un brave c ur lui dit
Ton papa, pauvre petit,
L’est déjà-t-en bière,
Le bon Dieu n’est pas gentil.
Jean s’en va-t-en bière
Son père chercher,
Le cherche trois heures,
Où s’est-il caché?
Mais un brave c ur lui dit
Ton papa, pauvre petit,
L’est déjà-t-en route,
Le bon Dieu n’est pas gentil.
Jean s’en va-t-en route
Son père chercher,
Le cherche trois heures,
Où s’est-il caché?
Mais un brave c ur lui dit
Ton papa, pauvre petit,
L’est déjà-t-en terre,
Le bon Dieu n’est pas gentil.
Jean s’en va-t-en terre
Son père chercher,
Le cherche trois heures,
Où s’est-il caché?
Mais un brave c ur lui dit
Ton papa, pauvre petit,
L’est déjà-t-en cendres,
Le bon Dieu n’est pas gentil.

Lyrics translation

Jean returns to the village
His father seek,
Looking for him three hours,
Where did he hide?
But a brave heart tells him:
Your daddy, you poor little boy.,
He's in hospice.,
God is not nice.
Jean goes to hospice
Her father's looking.
Looking for him three hours,
Where did he hide?
But a brave heart tells him
Your poor little daddy
Is it already in the morgue,
God is not nice.
Jean is leaving the morgue
His father seek,
Looking for him three hours,
Where did he hide?
But a brave heart tells him
Your daddy, you poor little boy.,
Is it already in beer,
God is not nice.
Jean is going to beer
His father seek,
Looking for him three hours,
Where did he hide?
But a brave heart tells him
Your daddy, you poor little boy.,
Is it already on its way?,
God is not nice.
Jean is leaving
His father seek,
Looking for him three hours,
Where did he hide?
But a brave heart tells him
Your daddy, you poor little boy.,
Is it already in the ground,
God is not nice.
Jean is leaving Earth
His father seek,
Looking for him three hours,
Where did he hide?
But a brave heart tells him
Your daddy, you poor little boy.,
Is it already in Ashes,
God is not nice.
