Lyrics and translation Patachou - Maman, papa (feat. Georges Brassens)




Maman, papa (feat. Georges Brassens)
Mother, Father (feat. Georges Brassens)
Maman, maman, en faisant cette chanson
Mother, mother, in writing this song
Maman, maman, je r'deviens petit garçon
Mother, mother, I am again a little boy
Alors je suis sage en classe
So I am good in class
Et pour te faire plaisir
And to please you
J'obtiens les meilleures places
I get the best seats
Ton désir
Your wish
Maman, maman, je préfère à mes jeux fous
Mother, mother, I prefer my crazy games
Maman, maman, demeurer sur tes genoux
Mother, mother, remaining in your lap
Et sans un mot dire, entendre tes refrains charmants
And without saying a word, hear your charming refrains
Maman, maman, maman, maman
Mother, mother, mother, mother
Papa, papa, en faisant cette chanson
Father, father, in writing this song
Papa, papa, je r'deviens petit garçon
Father, father, I am again a little boy
Et je t'entends sous l'orage
And I hear you in the storm
User tout ton humour
Using all your humor
Pour redonner du courage
To give courage again
A nos cœurs lourds
To our heavy hearts
Papa, papa, il n'y eut pas entre nous
Father, father, there was not between us
Papa, papa, de tendresse ou de mots doux
Father, father, of tenderness or sweet words
Pourtant on s'aimait, bien qu'on ne se l'avouât pas
Yet we loved each other, although we did not admit it
Papa, papa, papa, papa
Father, father, father, father
Maman, papa, en faisant cette chanson
Mother, father, in writing this song
Maman, papa, je r'deviens petit garçon
Mother, father, I am again a little boy
Et, grâce à cet artifice
And, thanks to this artifice
Soudain je comprends
Suddenly I understand
Le prix de vos sacrifices
The price of your sacrifices
Mes parents
My parents
Maman, papa, toujours je regretterai
Mother, father, I will always regret
Maman, papa, de vous avoir fait pleurer
Mother, father, making you cry
Au temps nos cœurs ne se comprenaient encor pas
At the time when our hearts did not understand each other yet
Maman, papa, maman, papa
Mother, father, mother, father
