Original text with translation
Édith Piaf
Il descend dans les grands hôtels
Il a beaucoup de personnel
Il a aussi beaucoup d’argent
C’est pour ça qu’il est mon amant
C’est un Monsieur très distingué
C’est un Monsieur qui est marié
Ses enfants seront très bien él'vés;
Comme il se doit, sa femme est blonde
(Variante: Sa femme est née dans le grand monde)
C’est un Monsieur très demandé
Tous les gens l'écoutent parler
Il est de la haute société
C’est c’qu’on appelle un homme du monde
2. Il a aussi un petit chien
On dit qu’il fait beaucoup de bien
Sa femme, moi et puis le chien
Nous faisons partie de ses biens
C’est un Monsieur très distingué
C’est un Monsieur qui est marié
Ses enfants seront très bien él'vés
Comme il se doit, je n’suis pas blonde
(Variante: Je n’suis pas née dans le grand monde.)
Ce Monsieur-là peut tout ach’ter
Même l’illusion d'être aimé
Il est de la haute société
C’est c’qu’on appelle un homm' du monde
3. Je sais pourtant qu’un jour viendra
Où doucement, il me dira:
«Chère amie, je suis désolé
Nos relations doivent cesser»
C’est un Monsieur très distingué
C’est un Monsieur qui est marié
Ses enfants seront très bien él'vés
Comme il se doit, sa femme est blonde
(Variante: Sa femme est née dans le grand monde.)
Je resterai seule à pleurer
Mon amour sera bien payé
C’est comm'ça dans la haut' société
C’est c’qu’on appelle les gens du monde
He stays in the big hotels
He has a lot of staff
He also has a lot of money
That's why he's my lover
He is a very distinguished gentleman
He is a gentleman who is married
His children will be very well brought up;
As it should be, his wife is blonde
(Variation: His wife was born in the great world)
He's a very popular gentleman
All the people hear him talk
He's high society
That's what we call a man of the world
2. He also has a small dog
It is said to do a lot of good
His wife, me and then the dog
We are part of his possessions
He is a very distinguished gentleman
He is a gentleman who is married
His children will be very well brought up
As it should be, I'm not blonde
(Variation: I wasn't born in the big world.)
This gentleman can buy everything
Even the illusion of being loved
He's high society
That's what we call a man of the world
3. Yet I know that one day will come
Where softly he will say to me:
"Dear friend, I'm sorry
Our relations must end”
He is a very distinguished gentleman
He is a gentleman who is married
His children will be very well brought up
As it should be, his wife is blonde
(Variation: His wife was born in the great world.)
I'll be left alone crying
My love will be well paid
That's how it is in high society
That's what we call people of the world
