Lyrics and translation Joe Dassin - Joe Macho




Joe Macho
Joe Macho
Le grand Joe Macho, un loup solitaire
Big Joe Macho, a lone wolf,
Était toujours en galère
Was always in trouble,
Et quand il sortait chasser la femelle
And when he went out hunting for women,
On entendait son cri sensuel
His sensual cry could be heard
Ah ouh-ouh-ouh, ouh-ouh-ouh
Ah ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah ouh-ouh-ouh, ouh-ouh-ouh
Ah ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
J'ai mon fusil à six coups
I have my six-shooter,
Ah ouh, ah ouh, ah ouh
Ah ooh, ah ooh, ah ooh
La jolie Marie avait le feu aux reins
Pretty Marie had fire in her loins,
Son mari était marin
Her husband was a sailor,
Quand elle a vu Joe entrer dans sa chambre
When she saw Joe enter her room,
La mignonne a planqué son alliance
The cutie hid her wedding ring
Ah ouh-ouh-ouh, ouh-ouh-oui
Ah ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-yeah
Jaillit ce cri dans la nuit
This cry erupted in the night,
Joe est revenu souvent
Joe came back often,
Et puis un soir on frappe au plus mauvais moment
And then one evening there was a knock at the worst possible moment
"Ciel, mon mari" a crié Marie
"Heavens, my husband" cried Marie,
Qui était physionomiste
Who was a physiognomist,
Il lui a dit "j'te croyais fidèle"
He said to her "I thought you were faithful"
Elle répondit "je le croyais aussi"
She replied "I thought so too"
Joe pas un geste ou tu meurs
Joe, don't move a muscle or you're dead,
Dit le trompé au trompeur
Said the deceived to the deceiver,
Maintenant tu vas payer
Now you're going to pay,
Il visait bas, il l'a touché au pied
He aimed low, he hit him in the foot
Alors Joe a filé dans le noir
So Joe ran off into the darkness,
Nu comme un vers, boîtant comme un canard
Naked as a worm, limping like a duck,
Et toute la ville l'a entendu pousser
And the whole town heard him let out,
Ce cri déchirant du chien blessé
This heartbreaking cry of a wounded dog
Ah ouh-ouh-ouh, ouh-ouh-ouh
Ah ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
J'était prévenu après tout
I was warned after all,
Marie m'avait bien juré
Marie had sworn to me,
Que son mari ne savait pas tirer
That her husband didn't know how to shoot
