Paroles et traduction Bodh'aktan - Commençons la semaine

Commençons la semaine

Commençons la semaine
Qu'en dis tu cher voisin
Commençons par le vin
Nous finirons de même.

On veut me faire croire
Que je mange mon bien
Mais on se trompe bien
Je ne fais que boire.

Vaut bien mieux moins d'argent
Chanter, danser et boire
Vaut bien mieux moins d'argent
Rire et boire plus souvent

Vaut mieux pas trop d'argent
Chanter danser et boire
Un p'tit peu moins d'argent
Et rire, boire plus souvent

Le receveur des tailles
Dis qu'il vendra mon lit
Je me moque de lui
Je couche sur la paille!

Si ta femme querelle
Dis lui pour l'apaiser
Que tu veux te griser
Pour la trouver plus belle

Vaut bien mieux moins d'argent
Chanter, danser et boire
Vaut bien mieux moins d'argent
Rire et boire plus souvent

Vaut mieux pas trop d'argent
Chanter danser et boire
Un p'tit peu moins d'argent
Et rire, boire plus souvent

Au compte de Barrême
Je n'aurai rien perdu
Je suis venu tout nu
Je m'en irai de même!

Providence divine
Qui veillez sur nos jours
Conservez nous toujours
La cave et la cuisine.

Vaut bien mieux moins d'argent
Chanter, danser et boire
Vaut bien mieux moins d'argent
Rire et boire plus souvent

Vaut mieux pas trop d'argent
Chanter danser et boire
Un p'tit peu moins d'argent
Et rire, boire plus souvent

Mais surtout!

Si ta femme querelle
Dis lui pour l'apaiser
Que tu veux te griser
Pour la trouver plus belle

Let's Start the Week

Let's start the week,
What do you say, dear neighbor?
Let's start with wine,
We'll end the same way.

They want me to believe
That I'm eating my fill,
But they're wrong,
I'm only drinking.

It's much better to have less money
To sing, dance, and drink,
It's much better to have less money
To laugh and drink more often.

It's better not to have too much money,
To sing, dance, and drink,
Just a little less money,
And laugh, drink more often.

The tax collector
Says he'll sell my bed,
I don't care about him,
I'll sleep on straw!

If your wife is nagging,
Tell her to calm down,
That you want to get drunk
To find her more beautiful.

It's much better to have less money
To sing, dance, and drink,
It's much better to have less money
To laugh and drink more often.

It's better not to have too much money,
To sing, dance, and drink,
Just a little less money,
And laugh, drink more often.

According to the Barème,
I haven't lost anything,
I came naked,
I'll leave the same way!

Divine Providence,
Who watches over our days,
Always preserve for us
The cellar and the kitchen.

It's much better to have less money
To sing, dance, and drink,
It's much better to have less money
To laugh and drink more often.

It's better not to have too much money,
To sing, dance, and drink,
Just a little less money,
And laugh, drink more often.

But most importantly!

If your wife is nagging,
Tell her to calm down,
That you want to get drunk
To find her more beautiful.
