Original text with translation
Georges Brassens
Avant de chanter
Ma vie, de fair' des
Harangues
Dans ma gueul' de bois
J’ai tourné sept fois
Ma langue
J’suis issu de gens
Qui étaient pas du gen-
Re sobre
On conte que j’eus
La tétée au jus
Mes parents on dû
M’trouver au pied d’u-
Ne souche
Et non dans un chou
Comm' ces gens plus ou
Moins louches
En guise de sang
(O noblesse sans
Pareille!)
Il coule en mon c?
ur
La chaude liqueur
D’la treille…
Quand on est un sa-
Ge, et qu’on a du sa-
Voir-boire
On se garde à vue
En cas de soif, u-
Ne poire
Une poire ou deux
Mais en forme de
Bonbonne
Au ventre replet
Rempli du bon lait
Jadis, aux Enfers
Cert’s, il a souffert
Tantale
Quand l’eau refusa
D’arroser ses a-
Mygdales
Etre assoiffé d’eau
C’est triste, mais faut
Bien dire
Que, l'être de vin
C’est encore vingt
Fois pire…
Hélas !
il ne pleut
Jamais du gros bleu
Qui tache
Qu’ell’s donnent du vin
J’irai traire enfin
Les vaches
Que vienne le temps
Du vin coulant dans
La Seine !
Les gens, par milliers
Courront y noyer
Leur peine…
Before singing
My life of doing
harangues
In my hangover
I turned seven times
My tongue
I came from people
Who weren't gen-
Re sober
It is said that I had
Breastfeeding juice
My parents had to
Find me at the foot of a-
Don't strain
And not in a cabbage
Like these people more or
less shady
As Blood
(O nobility without
Same!)
It flows into my heart
ur
The hot liquor
From the trellis...
When you're a sa-
Ge, and that we have sa-
see-drink
We keep in sight
In case of thirst, u-
don't pear
A pear or two
But in the shape of
carboy
Bellied
Filled with good milk
Formerly, in the Underworld
Certainly he suffered
Tantalum
When the water refused
To water his a-
Mygdala
To be thirsty for water
It's sad, but you have to
say well
That, being of wine
It's still twenty
Times worse...
Alas!
it's not raining
Never big blue
Who stains
Let them give wine
I will finally milk
The cows
Come the time
Wine flowing in
The Seine!
People, by the thousands
Will run to drown there
Their pain...
