Lyrics and translation Hippocampe Fou - Fallait pas rigoler

Fallait pas rigoler

Fallait pas la féconder, fallait racheter des capotes
Mais tu t′es bien fait gronder et dans deux jours elle avorte
T'es sorti picoler, tu viens de rentrer
Elle te demande de la réconforter, là, faut pas rigoler
C′est pas facile vu que t'es torché, faut pas rigoler
T'as envie de blaguer sur l′IVG, faut pas rigoler
Tu sens l′émotion qui l'assaille, la tête posée sur son bassin
Tu dis "tu veux qu′on le garde dans un bocal?"

Fallait pas rigoler
Pourtant, t'as rigolé
Fallait pas rigoler
Pourtant, t′as rigolé

C'est le rôle de ta vie, le plan le plus cher du film
Tu dois te raser la tête pendant l′explosion d'un building
T'as été pistonné mais le ciné, c′est ta passion
Le réal′ vient de crier "action", faut pas rigoler
Tu veux prouver que t'es bon acteur, faut pas rigoler
T′entends le bruit du détonateur, faut pas rigoler
T'as les sinus qui piquent, rien ne pouvait t′arriver de pire
T'éternues sur l′objectif avant d'éclater de rire

Fallait pas rigoler
Pourtant, t'as rigolé
Fallait pas rigoler
Pourtant, t′as rigolé

Tu t′es trompé d'étage à l′hôpital
Tu te retrouves dans l'unité de soins palliatifs, c′est abominable
T'entends des cris d′agonie que tu peux pas ignorer
Tu croises la famille d'un malade, là, faut pas rigoler
On dirait des cris de plaisir, faut pas rigoler
T'as bédave avant de venir, faut pas rigoler
Soudain, t′es pris d′empathie et pour t'en sortir
Tu te lâches et tu dis "moi aussi, j′veux de la morphine"

Fallait pas rigoler
Pourtant, t'as rigolé
Fallait pas rigoler
Pourtant, t′as rigolé

Tu dansais dans la rave party, tu te réveilles dans un cabanon
Séquestré par un type sans répartie dont l'esprit vagabonde
T′es isolé, terrorisé
Donc t'essayes d'ironiser mais, là, faut pas rigoler
Il a une voix ridicule, faut pas rigoler
Il est trop petit son pull, faut pas rigoler
Tout ça n′est pas si marrant mais, là, tu te rappelles
Que pendant la rave, t′as pris du gaz hilarant

Quand t'as l′estomac noué, quand tu bois la tasse
Le rire c'est ta bouée, c′est ta carapace
L'humour, faut bien l′avouer, peut sauver la face
Mais, parfois vaut mieux pas glousser, attendre que ça passe

Fallait pas rigoler
Fallait pas rigoler
Fallait pas rigoler
Fallait pas rigoler
Pourtant, t'as rigolé

Fallait pas rigoler, pourtant t'as rigolé
Fallait pas rigoler, pourtant t′as rigolé
Fallait pas rigoler, pourtant t′as rigolé
Fallait pas rigoler, pourtant t'as rigolé

Don't Joke Around

You shouldn't have gotten her pregnant, you should have bought more condoms
But you got yelled at and in two days she'll have an abortion
You went out drinking, you just came back
She asks you to comfort her, now, don't joke around
It's not easy since you're wasted, don't joke around
You want to joke about the abortion, don't joke around
You feel the emotion that overwhelms her, her head resting on her hips
You say "Do you want to keep it in a jar?"

You shouldn't have joked around
Nevertheless, you did
You shouldn't have joked around
Nevertheless, you did

It's the role of your life, the most expensive shot of the movie
You have to shave your head during the explosion of a building
You were recommended, but cinema is your passion
The director just yelled "action", don't joke around
You want to prove that you're a good actor, don't joke around
You hear the sound of the detonator, don't joke around
Your sinuses are tingling, nothing worse could happen to you
You sneeze on the lens before bursting out laughing

You shouldn't have joked around
Nevertheless, you did
You shouldn't have joked around
Nevertheless, you did

You went to the wrong floor at the hospital
You end up in the palliative care unit, it's awful
You hear cries of agony that you can't ignore
You pass the family of a patient, now, don't joke around
It sounds like cries of pleasure, don't joke around
You smoked weed before coming, don't joke around
Suddenly, you're seized with empathy and to get out
You let yourself go and you say "Me too, I want morphine"

You shouldn't have joked around
Nevertheless, you did
You shouldn't have joked around
Nevertheless, you did

You were dancing at the rave party, you wake up in a shed
Kidnapped by a guy with no repartee whose mind is wandering
You're isolated, terrified
So you try to be ironic but, don't joke around
He has a ridiculous voice, don't joke around
His sweater is too small, don't joke around
It's all not so funny but, then you remember
That during the rave, you took laughing gas

When you have a nervous stomach, when you drink to excess
Laughter is your buoy, it's your shell
Humor, you have to admit, can save face
But, sometimes it's better not to laugh, to wait for it to pass

You shouldn't have joked around
You shouldn't have joked around
You shouldn't have joked around
You shouldn't have joked around
Nevertheless, you did

You shouldn't have joked around, nevertheless you did
You shouldn't have joked around, nevertheless you did
You shouldn't have joked around, nevertheless you did
You shouldn't have joked around, nevertheless you did
