Original text with translation
Serge Reggiani
Qui donc t’a fait reprendre
Les routes de Jude
Judas qui ne jurait
Que par les filles tendres
Que par les filles tendres
Qui donc a fait descendre
De Nazareth un soir
Une juive aux yeux noirs
Cheveux de palissandre
Cheveux de palissandre
Son corps tait prendre
Pour quelques pices d’or
Toi, tu couchais dehors
O tu pouvais t’tendre
Quand tu pouvais t’tendre
Pauvre Judas qui tendait les mains
Judas le mendiant, Judas les mains vides
Qui t’a rappel tous les parricides
Qui se sont commis pour quelques putains
Tu es all surprendre
Au Mont des Oliviers
Le seul bien d’amiti
Qu’il te restait vendre
Qu’il te restait vendre
L’avais-tu fait attendre?
Enfin, elle est partie
En laissant dans son lit
La corde pour te pendre
La corde pour te pendre.
Who made you take back
Roads of Jude
Judas who did not swear
Only by tender girls
Only by tender girls
Who then sent down
From Nazareth one evening
A dark-eyed Jewess
Rosewood Hair
Rosewood Hair
Her body was taking
For a few gold coins
You were sleeping outside
where you could reach out
When you could stretch
Poor Judas holding out his hands
Judas the beggar, Judas empty-handed
Who reminded you of all the parricides
Who committed themselves for a few whores
You are going to surprise
On the Mount of Olives
The only good of friendship
That you had left to sell
That you had left to sell
Did you keep him waiting?
Finally she left
Leaving in his bed
The rope to hang you
The rope to hang you.
