Lyrics
Un fiacre allait, trottinant,
Cahin, caha,
Hu, dia, hop là!
Un fiacre allait, trottinant,
Jaune, avec un cocher blanc.
Derrièr' les stores baissés,
Cahin, caha,
Hu, dia, hop là!
Derrièr' les stores baissés
On entendait des baisers.
Puis un' voix disant: «Léon !
Cahin, caha,
Hu, dia, hop là!
Puis un' voix disant: «Léon !
Pour … causer, ôt' ton lorgnon !»
Un vieux monsieur qui passait,
Cahin, caha,
Hu, dia, hop là!
Un vieux monsieur qui passait,
S'écri': «Mais on dirait qu’c’est
Ma femme avec un quidam !
Cahin, caha,
Hu, dia, hop là!
Ma femme avec un quidam ! «I' s’lanc' sur le macadam'.
Mais i' gliss' su' l' sol mouillé,
Cahin, caha,
Hu, dia, hop là!
Mais i' gliss' su' l' sol mouillé,
Crac ! il est écrabouillé.
Du fiacre un' dam' sort et dit:
Cahin, caha,
Hu, dia, hop là!
Du fiacre un' dam' sort et dit:
«Chouett', Léon ! C’est mon mari !
Y a plus besoin d' nous cacher,
Cahin, caha,
Hu, dia, hop là!
Y a plus besoin d' nous cacher.
Donn' donc cent sous au cocher ! "
Lyrics translation
A fiacre was walking, trotting,
Cahin, caha,
Hu, dia, hop there!
A fiacre was walking, trotting,
Yellow, with a white tick.
Behind the lowered blinds,
Cahin, caha,
Hu, dia, hop there!
Behind the lowered blinds
We could hear kisses.
Then a 'voice saying:" Leon !
Cahin, caha,
Hu, dia, hop there!
Then a 'voice saying:" Leon !
To ... to talk, to your peep !»
An old gentleman passing by,
Cahin, caha,
Hu, dia, hop there!
An old gentleman passing by,
"But it looks like it's
My wife with a quidam !
Cahin, caha,
Hu, dia, hop there!
My wife with a quidam ! "I' launch 'on the macadam'.
But I 'gliss' on ' the wet ground,
Cahin, caha,
Hu, dia, hop there!
But I 'gliss' on ' the wet ground,
Crac ! he's nutty.
From fiacre a ' dam ' comes out and says:
Cahin, caha,
Hu, dia, hop there!
From fiacre a ' dam ' comes out and says:
"Chouett', Leon ! He's my husband !
There's no need to hide us anymore,
Cahin, caha,
Hu, dia, hop there!
We don't need to hide anymore.
Donn ' so a hundred under to the coachman ! "
