Lyrics
Dans les chansons d’avant guerre
Celles de nos chanteurs des rues
Il fallait faire pleurer la France enti? re Raconter des histoires v? cues
H? ros d’la classe ouvri? re De Jean Jaur? s? Duclos
La mode? tait aux sanglots populaires
Plus tristes encore que les journaux
C'? tait toujours une pauvrette
Qu’avait pas d’papa d’maman
Qu’un bourgeois s? duisait? la sauvette
Et plaquait immanquablement
Elle se retrouvait fille-m? re Et comme de bien entendu
Pour? chapper? sa triste mis? re Elle allait se vendre? la rue
C'? taient de longs m? lodrames
Qui finissaient crescendo
L’homme? puis? le soir battait sa femme
Et buvait sa paye au bistrot
Chansons r? volutionnaires
Pav? s d’la rue Damr? mont
Le temps des c’rises sur un vieux limonaire
Sauver sa Patrie sa Nation
Chanson des anniversaires
Un p’tit air d’accord? on Pour faire guincher les Milou les Prosp? re Dans un bougnat bois et charbon
Toutes les chansons populaires
Celles de nos chanteurs des rues
S’en sont all? s rejoindre? leur mani? re Les brumes comme de bien entendu
H? ros d’la classe ouvri? re De Jean Jaur? s? Duclos
Qui chaviraient le coeur de ma grand-m? re Joinville n’est plus au bord de l’eau
Lyrics translation
In pre-war songs
Those of our street singers
It was necessary to make France cry whole? re tell stories v? cues
H? ros from the open class? King of Jean Jaur? s? Duclos
Fashion? silence to popular sobs
Sadder than the newspapers
C'? always a poor girl
What did not have a mom's dad
That a bourgeois s? duisait? the sauvette
And was unfailing
Was she Meeting girl-m? re and as of course
For? chapper? his sad mis? re She was going to sell? street
C'? were long m's? lodrames
Who ended up crescendo
The man? then? in the evening beat his wife
And drank his paycheck at the bistro
R songs? volutionaries
Pav? s from Damr Street? Mont
The time of the C'rises on an old limonaire
Saving his homeland his Nation
Birthday song
A little air, okay? what about making the Milou the Prosps squeal? re in a bougnat wood and coal
All popular songs
Those of our street singers
Are they gone? s join? their mani? re mists as of course
H? ros from the open class? King of Jean Jaur? s? Duclos
Who would crush my grand-m's heart? re Joinville is no longer by the water
