Lyrics and translation Charles Aznavour - Le droit des femmes - Live au Palais des Congrès

Le droit des femmes - Live au Palais des Congrès

Depuis qu'avec l'homme sur terre elle fut mise
La femme pour des millénaires fut soumise
Cette tradition était clairement transmise
Elle obéissait à ses pairs et à l'église
Le droit des femmes
Le droit des femmes n'est plus
Je le proclame
Ce que jadis il fut
Ces dames se sont battues mais l'ont eu
Le droit des femmes
Et ne le lâcheront plus
Bien des choses ont évolué
Depuis que Rome
Voulait les culpabiliser
Pour une pomme
Les femmes se sont libérées
Il faut voir comme
Il faudra nous y habituer
Nous les bonshommes
Le droit des femmes
Le droit des femmes n'est plus
Je le proclame
Ce que jadis il fut
Ces dames se sont battues mais l'ont eu
Le droit des femmes
Et ne le lâcheront plus
Souvent nos mères ont vécu
L'insupportable
Subissant bafouées et cocues
L'inacceptable
Messieurs ce temps est révolu
Alors que diable
Les jeux sont faits rien ne va plus
Cartes sur table
Le droit des femmes
Le droit des femmes n'est plus
Je le proclame
Ce que jadis il fut
Ces dames se sont battues mais l'ont eu
Le droit des femmes
Et ne le lâcheront plus
Femmes poupées, femmes au foyer
Femmes qu'on vexe
Toutes ces femmes libérées
De leurs complexes
Parlent de choix, parlent d'idées
Comme de sexe
Alors messieurs ayons fair-play
Le bon réflexe
Le droit des femmes
Le droit des femmes n'est plus
Je le proclame
Ce que jadis il fut
Ces dames se sont battues mais l'ont eu
Le droit des femmes
Et ne le lâcheront plus
Ce mari cet ancien macho
Peut sans problème
Sans rougir pousser un landau
Sur les lieux même
Où tous ses copains font le beau
Devant un crème
On a l'étoffe d'un héros
Dès que l'on aime
Le droit des femmes
Le droit des femmes n'est plus
Je le proclame
Ce que jadis il fut
Ces dames se sont battues mais l'ont eu
Le droit des femmes
Et ne le lâcheront plus
Aujourd'hui le monde a changé
Tout passe et casse
La femme dans la société
A pris sa place
Pilote, écrivain, PDG
Et puis j'en passe
Comme finir à Élysée
Un jour de grâce
Le droit des femmes
Le droit des femmes n'est plus
Je le proclame
Ce que jadis il fut
Ces dames se sont battues mais l'ont eu
Le droit des femmes
Et ne le lâcheront plus
Échange de bons procédés
L'homme peut faire
Quelques uns des petits métiers
Des ménagères
On peut le voir marcher sur les
Grandes artères
Fardé, peu vêtu racoler
Ses congénères
Le droit des femmes
Le droit des femmes n'est plus
Je le proclame
Ce que jadis il fut
Ces dames se sont battues mais l'ont eu
Le droit des femmes
Et ne le lâcheront plus
Le droit des femmes
Et ne le lâcheront plus

Women's Rights - Live at the Palais des Congrès

Since she was placed on Earth alongside man,
For millennia, woman was subjected to his command.
This tradition was clearly passed down,
She obeyed her peers and the church's frown.
Women's rights,
Women's rights are no longer,
I proclaim,
What they once were before.
These ladies fought hard but they've won the war,
Women's rights,
And they won't let go anymore.
Many things have changed,
Since Rome,
Tried to make them feel the blame,
For a mere apple's claim.
Women have broken free,
You must see,
We'll have to get used to it, you and me,
Us, the menfolk, indeed.
Women's rights,
Women's rights are no longer,
I proclaim,
What they once were before.
These ladies fought hard but they've won the war,
Women's rights,
And they won't let go anymore.
Often our mothers lived through,
The unbearable,
Enduring scorned and cuckolded too,
The unacceptable.
Gentlemen, those days are through,
So what the hell,
The die is cast, no more bets to sell,
Cards on the table fell.
Women's rights,
Women's rights are no longer,
I proclaim,
What they once were before.
These ladies fought hard but they've won the war,
Women's rights,
And they won't let go anymore.
Women as dolls, women confined to the home,
Women subjected to vexation and roam,
All these women liberated,
From their complexes,
Speak of choices, speak of ideas,
Just as they do of sexes.
So gentlemen, let's have fair play,
The right reflex, I say.
Women's rights,
Women's rights are no longer,
I proclaim,
What they once were before.
These ladies fought hard but they've won the war,
Women's rights,
And they won't let go anymore.
This husband, this former macho man,
Can without a problem, you understand,
Without blushing, push a baby's pram,
In the very same place,
Where all his buddies put on their manly face,
In front of a creamy lace.
One has the makings of a hero,
As soon as one learns to love, you know.
Women's rights,
Women's rights are no longer,
I proclaim,
What they once were before.
These ladies fought hard but they've won the war,
Women's rights,
And they won't let go anymore.
Today the world has changed,
Everything passes and breaks,
Woman in society,
Has taken her rightful place.
Pilot, writer, CEO,
And many more, you know,
Like ending up at the Élysée,
One day, by grace's sway.
Women's rights,
Women's rights are no longer,
I proclaim,
What they once were before.
These ladies fought hard but they've won the war,
Women's rights,
And they won't let go anymore.
Exchange of good deeds we see,
Man can do,
Some of the little chores, you and me,
Of the housewives, naturally.
We can see him walk on the,
Big city streets, bold and free,
Made up, scantily clad, soliciting,
His peers, without restricting.
Women's rights,
Women's rights are no longer,
I proclaim,
What they once were before.
These ladies fought hard but they've won the war,
Women's rights,
And they won't let go anymore.
Women's rights,
And they won't let go anymore.
