Lyrics
Clémentine, oh ma Clémentine !
Tu n’avais que dix sept ans
Et tes mines enfantines
Affolaient tous les garçons
Oh Clémentine, oh ma Clémentine !
Les braves gens des environs
Te donnaient, ô gente gamine
Oui, le bon Dieu sans confession
Radieuse et orgueilleuse
Quand les garçons suivaient tes pas
Ton beau sourire semblait leur dire
«Non Messires, ne m’approchez pas»
Eh ! Clémentine, oh ma Clémentine !
Ta poitrine, tes beaux cheveux
Tes beaux yeux bleus et ta jambe fine
Ont fait plus d’un malheureux
Mais tout ça, oh ma Clémentine !
Se passait il y a longtemps
Aujourd’hui, voisins et voisines
Ont fêté tes cent deux ans
Et, la main sur sa poitrine
Le préfet fait son discours
Pendant ce temps là, oh toi Clémentine !
Tu repenses aux anciens jours
Plus personne, plus personne Clémentine
A présent, ne t’approchera
La vie passe et tout se termine
Clémentine, tant pis pour toi
Lyrics translation
Clementine, Oh my Clementine !
You were only seventeen
And your childish mines
Freaked out all the boys
Oh Clementine, Oh my Clementine !
The good people of the area
They gave you, O children
Yes, The Good Lord without confession
Radiant and proud
When the boys followed in your footsteps
Your beautiful smile seemed to tell them
"No, gentlemen, don't come near me.»
Eh ! Clementine, Oh my Clementine !
Your chest, your beautiful hair
Your beautiful blue eyes and your thin leg
Have made more than one unhappy
But all this, oh my Clementine !
Happened a long time ago
Today, neighbors and neighbors
Have celebrated your one hundred and two years
And, hand on his chest
The prefect makes his speech
Meanwhile, Oh you Clementine !
You think back to the old days
More nobody, more nobody Clementine
Now, will not approach you
Life passes and everything ends
Clementine, too bad for you
