Paroles et traduction Gilbert Bécaud - Le train de la vie

Le train de la vie

Tchou, tchou
Tchou, tchou, tchou, tchou, ah
Le train de la vie
C′est un joli petit train qui te mène du berceau jusqu'à la fin de la fin
Il fait des "youp", des "bravos", des "holala"
Des "pourquoi t′es pas venu", des "comment t'es déjà là"
Chacun le prend, y'en a qui voyagent assis, d′autres qui dorment debout
C′est ça le train d'la vie, vive la vie mais si tu manques la marche, on n′en parle plus
Le train de la vie
C'est un petit train qui va des montagnes de l′ennui aux collines de la joie
Il fait des "oui", des "peut-être" et puis des "non"
Il fait le jour et la nuit, ça dépend de la station
"Gare de triage, attention départ"
Oh les beaux wagons que voilà, si ça dépendait de moi, j'les prends tous à la fois
"Attention tu vas rester sur le quai"
J′ai peur de me tromper de voie, chanteur, pasteur, avocat mais le train n'attend pas
Le train de la vie
C'est un petit train qui fait des arrêts pipi au lit, des arrêts café au lait
Il fait des "tiens", des "comme c′est curieux", des "ah bon, t′en es bien sûr"
Des "vraiment je savais pas"
Chacun le prend, y'en a qui voyagent assis, d′autres qui dorment debout
C'est ça le train d′la vie, vive la vie mais si tu manques la marche, on n'en parle plus
Il fait pousser des jolis ventres tout ronds
Des "oh le joli bébé, oh le vilain moribond"
Il fait des "oui", des "peut-être" et puis des "non"
Il fait le jour, il fait la nuit, ça dépend de la station
"Terminus, tout l′monde descend"
Oh, vraiment ce train va trop vite, c'est une course poursuite à travers les années
"Attention il faut dégager les quais"
Les autres voyageurs sont là, ils te bousculent de joie et le train n'attend pas
Le train de la vie
C′est un petit train qui va des montagnes de l′ennui aux collines de la joie
Le train de la vie
C'est un petit train tout bleu qui te mène de l′ennui jusqu'au pays du Bon Dieu
Chacun le prend, y′en a qui voyagent assis, d'autres qui dorment debout
C′est ça le train d'la vie, vive la vie mais si tu manques la marche, on n'en parle plus
Le train de la vie
C′est un joli petit train qui te mène du berceau jusqu′à la fin de la fin
Il fait des "youp", des "bravos", des "holala"
Des "pourquoi t'es pas venu", des "comment t′es déjà là"
Chacun le prend, y'en a qui voyagent assis, d′autres qui dorment debout
C'est ça le train d′la vie
Chacun le prend, y'en a qui voyagent assis, d'autres qui dorment debout
C′est ça le train d′la vie
Chacun le prend, y'en a qui voyagent assis, d′autres qui dorment debout
C'est ça le train d′la vie
Chacun le prend, y'en a qui voyagent assis, d′autres qui dorment debout
C'est ça le train d'la vie
Chacun le prend, y′en a qui voyagent assis, d′autres qui dorment debout
C'est ça le train d′la vie
Le prend, voyagent assis, debout, assis
C'est ça le train d′la vie
Chacun le prend, y'en a qui voyagent assis, d′autres qui dorment debout
C'est ça le train d'la vie

The Train of Life

Choo, choo
Choo, choo, choo, choo, ah
The train of life
It's a pretty little train that takes you from the cradle to the very end
It goes "woohoo", "bravo", "whoa"
"Why didn't you come", "how are you already here"
Everyone takes it, some travel seated, others sleep standing up
That's the train of life, long live life, but if you miss the step, we don't talk about it anymore
The train of life
It's a little train that goes from the mountains of boredom to the hills of joy
It goes "yes", "maybe" and then "no"
It makes day and night, it depends on the station
"Sorting station, attention departure"
Oh, the beautiful wagons here, if it were up to me, I'd take them all at once
"Be careful, you'll stay on the platform"
I'm afraid of taking the wrong track, singer, pastor, lawyer, but the train doesn't wait
The train of life
It's a little train that makes pee-pee stops in bed, coffee with milk stops
It goes "here", "how curious", "oh really, are you sure"
"I really didn't know"
Everyone takes it, some travel seated, others sleep standing up
That's the train of life, long live life, but if you miss the step, we don't talk about it anymore
It makes pretty round bellies grow
"Oh, the pretty baby, oh, the ugly dying man"
It goes "yes", "maybe" and then "no"
It makes day, it makes night, it depends on the station
"Terminus, everyone get off"
Oh, this train really goes too fast, it's a chase through the years
"Be careful, you have to clear the platforms"
The other travelers are there, they jostle you with joy and the train doesn't wait
The train of life
It's a little train that goes from the mountains of boredom to the hills of joy
The train of life
It's a little blue train that takes you from boredom to the land of the Good Lord
Everyone takes it, some travel seated, others sleep standing up
That's the train of life, long live life, but if you miss the step, we don't talk about it anymore
The train of life
It's a pretty little train that takes you from the cradle to the very end
It goes "woohoo", "bravo", "whoa"
"Why didn't you come", "how are you already here"
Everyone takes it, some travel seated, others sleep standing up
That's the train of life
Everyone takes it, some travel seated, others sleep standing up
That's the train of life
Everyone takes it, some travel seated, others sleep standing up
That's the train of life
Everyone takes it, some travel seated, others sleep standing up
That's the train of life
Everyone takes it, some travel seated, others sleep standing up
That's the train of life
Take it, travel seated, standing, seated
That's the train of life
Everyone takes it, some travel seated, others sleep standing up
That's the train of life
