Lyrics and translation Dalida - Son Chapeau

Son Chapeau

Il arrivait tout droit de l'Est
Ayant traversé le Far-West
Et les cowboys du coin
Regardaient tant et moins
Ses revolvers briller de loin
Il arrivait tout droit de l'Est
Avec son cheval et le reste
À l'hôtel on disait
Quel est cet étranger
Et les femmes se demandaient
Comment étaient ses yeux
Étaient-ils noirs ou bleus
Là vous m'en demandez trop
Beaucoup trop
On ne voyait que son chapeau
On ne voyait que son chapeau
(Son chapeau)
Il arrivait tout droit de l'Est
Avec deux grands trous dans sa veste
Il marchait à grands pas
Il buvait comme trois
Un vrai héros de cinéma
Il arrivait tout droit de l'Est
Il avait vraiment de beaux gestes
Suzanna devant lui
Soudain s'évanouit
Elle voyait l'homme de sa vie
Comment étaient ses yeux
Étaient-ils noirs ou bleus
Là vous m'en demandez trop
Beaucoup trop
On ne voyait que son chapeau
On ne voyait que son chapeau
(Son chapeau)
Il arrivait tout droit de l'Est
Mais il n'était pas assez leste
L'ami de Suzanna
Bien avant lui tira
Et sur sa tombe on lut cela
Comment étaient ses yeux
Étaient-ils noirs ou bleus
Là vous m'en demandez trop
Beaucoup trop
On ne voyait que son chapeau
On ne voyait que son chapeau
On ne voyait que son chapeau
On ne voyait que son chapeau

His Hat

He came straight from the East
Having crossed the Far West
And the cowboys around
Were looking so much
His revolvers shining from afar
He came straight from the East
With his horse and the rest
At the hotel it was said
Who is this stranger
And the women wondered
What his eyes were like
Were they black or blue
There you ask me too much
Far too much
We only saw his hat
We only saw his hat
(His hat)
He came straight from the East
With two big holes in his jacket
He walked with great strides
He drank like three
A real movie hero
He came straight from the East
He really had beautiful gestures
Suzanna in front of him
Suddenly fainted
She saw the man of her life
What were his eyes like
Were they black or blue
There you ask me too much
Far too much
We only saw his hat
We only saw his hat
(His hat)
He came straight from the East
But he wasn't quick enough
Suzanna's friend
Shot before him
And on his tomb we read this
What were his eyes like
Were they black or blue
There you ask me too much
Far too much
We only saw his hat
We only saw his hat
We only saw his hat
We only saw his hat
