Paroles et traduction Alain Bashung - Herr major

Herr major

Pas les yeux dans les poches
Il revient le temps du muguet
Pas les yeux dans les poches
Avec les moutons y'a pas de mai y'a pas de mai

L'anguille est sous la roche
J'ai tous les noms sur mon cahier, tout y est
Antoine et Cléopâtre se sont revus,
Je l'ai su, je l'ai su

Herr Major encore
À vue d'oeil on s'améliore
Major, encore, one more

L'ambiance est au pressing
Ma petite amie est vache
Elle joue du cor dès qu'elle se lève très à l'aise
Et ses parties de chasse
Mon kiki je te l'accorde raide, corde raide

L'anguille est sou sla roche
L'ennemi à mis le cheik à la fraise
Vive la fraise
On a repris le pont d'Arcole
La guêpière en plein vol, pas folle

Frau Major nous cajole
Deux ou trois heures de colle
Je raffole

Herr Major encore
A vue d'oeil on s'améliore
Major, encore, one more
L'ambiance est au pressing

Zoé paye la note du jazz
Tout se passe comme, prévu
L'oncle Tom recule de deux cases
Il a Zoé éperdue, perdue, perdue

Herr Major encore
À vue d'oeil on s'améliore
Major, encore, one more
L'ambiance est au pressing

Pas de sous dans les poches

Herr Major

No eyes in my pockets
The time has come again for lily of the valley
No eyes in my pockets
With the sheep, there is no May, no May

The eel is under the rock
I have all the names in my notebook, everything is there
Antony and Cleopatra have met again,
I knew it, I knew it

Herr Major again
By the looks of it, we're getting better
Major, again, one more

The atmosphere is being ironed out.
My girlfriend is a cow
She plays the horn as soon as she gets up, very comfortably
And her hunting parties
My cock, I grant you stiff, tightrope stiff

The eel is under the rock
The enemy has put the sheik in the strawberry
Long live the strawberry
We have retaken the bridge of Arcole
The corset in full flight, not crazy

Frau Major pampers us
Two or three hours of detention
I love it

Herr Major again
By the looks of it, we're getting better
Major, again, one more
The ambiance is being ironed out

Zoe pays the jazz bill
Everything is going as planned
Uncle Tom moves back two squares
He has Zoe distraught, lost, lost

Herr Major encore
By the looks of it, we're getting better
Major, encore, one more
The ambiance is being ironed out

No money in my pockets
