Original text with translation
Georges Brassens, Pierre Nicolas
On n'était pas des Barbe-Bleue
Ni des pelés, ni des galeux
Porteurs de parasites
On n'était pas des spadassins
On venait du pays voisin
On venait en visite
On n’avait aucune intention
De razzia, de déprédation
Aucun but illicite
On venait pas piller chez eux
On venait pas gober leurs oeufs
On venait en visite
On poussait pas des cris d’Indiens
On avançait avec maintien
Et d’un pas qui hésite
On braquait pas des revolvers
On arrivait les bras ouverts
On venait en visite
Mais ils sont rentrés dans leurs trous
Mais ils ont poussé les verrous
Dans un accord tacite
Ils ont fermé les contrevents
Caché les femmes, les enfants
Refusé la visite
On venait pas leur imposer
Notre manière de penser
Pas leur prendre leur site
On venait leur dire en passant
Un petit bonjour innocent
On venait en visite
On venait pour se présenter
On venait pour les fréquenter
Pour qu’ils nous plébiscitent
Dans l’espérance d'être admis
Et naturalisés amis
On venait en visite
Par malchance, ils n’ont pas voulu
De notre amitié superflue
Que rien ne nécessite
Et l’on a refermé nos mains
Et l’on a rebroussé chemin
Suspendu la visite
We weren't Bluebeards
Neither skinned nor scabby
Parasite carriers
We were not swashbucklers
We came from the neighboring country
We were coming to visit
We had no intention
Of raid, of depredation
No Illegal Purpose
We didn't come to loot their house
We didn't come to gobble their eggs
We were coming to visit
We weren't screaming Indians
We moved forward steadily
And with a step that hesitates
We weren't pointing guns
We came with open arms
We were coming to visit
But they got back in their holes
But they pushed the locks
In tacit agreement
They closed the shutters
Hidden women, children
Denied visit
We weren't coming to impose on them
Our way of thinking
Not take them their site
We came to tell them in passing
An innocent little hello
We were coming to visit
We came to introduce ourselves
We came to hang out
So that they acclaim us
Hoping to be admitted
And naturalized friends
We were coming to visit
Unfortunately, they didn't want
Of our superfluous friendship
That nothing requires
And we closed our hands
And we turned back
Suspended visit
