Lyrics and translation Vianney - La galopin (Live)




La galopin (Live)
The Tramp (Live)
T′avais des yeux de terre
Your eyes were the color of the earth
Et les voiles à gadoue
And your sails were muddy
Mille millier de mers,
A thousand thousand seas,
Sur tes joues
On your cheeks
Je te tiens par le bras
I hold you by the arm
Je ne dis rien, tu vois
I don't say anything, you see
Il faut dire: que le dire
We must say: that saying
N'aide pas
Doesn't help
Si on pensait à rien
If we thought of nothing
Le temps d′un galopin
For the time of a tramp
Parfois penser peu,
Sometimes thinking little,
C'est bien
It's good
Et se dire qu'on est bien
And to tell ourselves that we are well
C′est mieux
It's better
Y a des milliers de voiles
There are thousands of sails
Qui n′ont jamais vu l'eau
That have never seen the water
Nous, faut pas qu′on s'installe
We must not settle down
De trop
Too much
Passés les mille matins
After a thousand mornings
Si le temps nous éteint
If time extinguishes us
Alors parler peu
Then speaking little
Sera bien
Will be good
Mais se dire qu′on est bien,
But to tell ourselves that we are well,
Sera mieux
It will be better
Regarder, les étoiles
Look at the stars
Et nous sentir humain
And feel ourselves human
Se dire: on est que dalle
Tell ourselves: we are nothing
Oh que rien
Oh so nothing
On fera comme on peut
We will do as we can
On aura des gamins
We will have children
S'inquiéter un peu
Worry a little
C′est bien,
It's good,
Mais se dire qu'on est bien,
But to tell ourselves that we are well,
C'est mieux
It's better
Il y a tant de parfums
There are so many perfumes
Au marché de Clichy
At the Clichy market
J′y ai trouvé le tien samedi
I found yours on Saturday
J′en ai fait mon savon
I made it my soap
J'en ai fait ma chanson
I made it my song
Ça paraît, je sais,
It seems, I know,
Très con
Very stupid
Mais tu verras demain
But you will see tomorrow
Ce que font les refrains
What choruses do
Oh pleurer un peu,
Oh to cry a little,
C′est bien
It's good
Et se dire qu'on est bien,
And to tell ourselves that we are well,
C′est peu
It's little
Mais mieux
But better
