Original text with translation
Fernandel
Je ne sais pas pourquoi, quand je parlais, les gens riaient
Je ne sais pas pourquoi, depuis toujours, c'était comme ça
A l'école, déjà tout enfant,
Lorsque je répondais: «Présent !»
Toute la classe, riait, riait !
Et ces rires, me rendaient triste…
Mais la vie n’est pas une scène
Et souvent j’avais de la peine
Et les gens, qui riaient sans savoir
C’est bizarre…
Comme tout le monde, j’ai eu vingt ans,
Je suis parti au régiment,
Tous mes copains, riaient, riaient !
Et ces rires, me rendaient triste…
J'étais toujours sur la sellette,
Comme un troupier d’une opérette.
Les gens riaient sans savoir,
C’est bizarre…
Puis un jour, j’ai connu l’amour,
J’ai dit: «Je t’aimerai toujours !»
Mais la fille, riait, riait !
Et ses rires m’ont rendu triste…
J’me suis dit: «T'as pas trop de veine.»
Mais j’ai eu beaucoup de la peine.
Les gens riaient de me voir,
C’est bizarre…
Un jour j’en ai fait mon métier
Un peu forcé, presque obligé,
Et le public, riait, riait !
Et je n'étais plus triste !
J’avais trouvé mon existence
Et quelquefois quand je repense
Aux gens qui riaient de me voir
C’est bizarre…
Maintenant, je sais pourquoi, quand je parlais, les gens riaient
Maintenant, je sais pourquoi, quand j’suis heureux comme ça
I don't know why when I was talking people were laughing
I don't know why it's always been like this
At school, already as a child,
When I answered: “Present!”
The whole class, laughing, laughing!
And those laughs, made me sad...
But life is not a stage
And often I was in pain
And the people, who laughed without knowing
It's weird...
Like everyone else, I was twenty,
I went to the regiment,
All my friends were laughing, laughing!
And those laughs, made me sad...
I was always in the hot seat,
Like a troupe from an operetta.
People laughed without knowing,
It's weird...
Then one day I knew love,
I said, "I will always love you!"
But the girl, laughed, laughed!
And his laughter made me sad...
I thought to myself, "You don't have too much luck."
But I had a lot of pain.
People laughed to see me,
It's weird...
One day I made it my job
A little forced, almost forced,
And the audience was laughing, laughing!
And I was no longer sad!
I had found my existence
And sometimes when I think back
To people who laughed to see me
It's weird...
Now I know why when I was talking people were laughing
Now I know why, when I'm happy like this
