Grand-maman c'est New York (Live au Théâtre de l'Étoile)

C'était un enfant de quarant' cinq ans
Qui voyageait seul avec sa grand-mère.
C'était un enfant de quarant' cinq ans
Qui voyageait seul avec sa maman.
Sa grand' barbe noire aux longs poils frisants
F'sait l'admiration d'la famille entière.
Sa grand'barbe noire aux longs poils frisants, F'sait l'admiration de tous ses parents.
Sur un bateau, il s'embarqua, Croyant partir pour l'Kamtchatka
Mais au bout d'huit jours, quel drame! Il s'écria "Mesdames: Grand-maman, c'est new-York! C'est New-York.
Je vois les bateaux-remorques, Grand-maman, c'est New-York.
Je vois les bateaux dans le port de New-York.
Les mouettes font bonjour.
Dans le ciel je vois les jolies mouettes, Les mouettes me font bonjour
Et je sens en moi de longs frissons d'amour.
Sa grand-mère le calma
Avec un bout de chocolat
Mais l'enfant, le c ur en fête, Criait à tue-tête: Grand-maman, c'est New-York, C'est New-York: je vois les bateaux-remorques.
Grand-maman c'est New-York! Je vois les bateaux dans le port de New-York.
Comme il était dans la diplomatie, Il faisait parfois de charmants voyages.
Comme il était dans la diplomatie, Il visitait tout, l'Europe et l'Asie.
Il vécut ainsi
Quatre-vingt-douze ans, Toujours escorté de sa vieill' grand-mère.
Il vécut ainsi quatre-vingt-douze ans, Toujour escorté de sa vieill' maman.
Le jour d'sa mort, elle était làQui lui donnait du chocolat, Mais, perdu dans son délire
Il ne savait que dire: Grand-maman, c'est New-York! C'est New-York.
Je vois les bateaux-remorques, Grand-maman, c'est New-York! Je vois les bateaux dans le port de New-York.
Les mouettes me font bonjour.
Dans le ciel je vois les jolies mouettes, Les mouettes me font bonjour
Et je sens en moi de longs frissons d'amour.
Quand au ciel, il arriva, L'Empire State il retrouva.
Les anges lisaient le Daily News
En disant: Sacré bon Dious, Mon p'tit gars c'est New-York, C'est New-York, tu vois les bateaux remorques.
Mon p'tit gars c'est New-York! Tu vois les bateaux dans le port de New-York, Tu vois les bateaux dans le port de New-York.

Grandma, This Is New York (Live at the Theatre of the Star)

He was a child of forty-five years old,
Who travelled alone with his grandmother.
He was a child of forty-five years old,
Who travelled alone with his mother.
His great, long, curly black beard
Was admired by the entire family.
His great, long, curly black beard, was admired by all his family.
He boarded a boat, believing he was leaving for Kamchatka
But after eight days, what a drama! He exclaimed "Ladies: Grandma, this is New York! This is New York.
I see the tugboats, Grandma, this is New York.
I see the boats in the port of New York.
The seagulls say hello.
In the sky I see the beautiful seagulls, the seagulls bid me hello
And I feel a long shiver of love within me.
His grandmother calmed him
With a piece of chocolate
But the child, his heart filled with joy, shouted at the top of his lungs: Grandma, this is New York, this is New York: I see the tugboats.
Grandma this is New York! I see the boats in the port of New York.
As he was in diplomacy, he sometimes went on charming trips.
As he was in diplomacy, he visited everything, Europe and Asia.
He lived like this
Ninety-two years, always escorted by his old grandmother.
He lived like this for ninety-two years, always escorted by his old mother.
The day he died, she was there and gave him chocolate, but lost in his delirium
He only knew how to say: Grandma, this is New York! This is New York.
I see the tugboats, Grandma, this is New York! I see the boats in the port of New York.
The seagulls bid me hello.
In the sky I see the beautiful seagulls, the seagulls bid me hello
And I feel a long shiver of love within me.
When he arrived in heaven, he found the Empire State Building.
The angels were reading the Daily News
Saying: Holy cow, my boy, this is New York, this is New York, you see the tugboats.
My boy this is New York! You see the boats in the port of New York, you see the boats in the port of New York.
