Ton arrière-arrière grand-père il a défricher la terre
Ton arrière grand-père il a labourrer la terre
Et pis ton grand-père a rentabiliser la terre
Pis ton pere il la vendu pour devenir fonctionaire
Et pi toé mon ptit gars tu cé pu ske tu va faire
Ds ton ptit 3 1/2 bin trop cher frette en hiver
Il te vien des envie de devenire propriétaire
Et tu reve la nuit ... davoir ton ptit lopain de terre ...

Quand tu fait des conneries tu ten sauve en avortant
Mais ya des matins tu te reveille en pleurent quand tu reve la nuit ... dune grande table entourer d'enfants ...

Ton arrière-arrière grand-père a vécus la grosse misère

Heureusement que dans vie certaines chose refuse de changer
Enfille tes plus beau habits... car nous allons se soirs danser!

Degenerations

Your great-great-grandfather cleared the land
Your great-grandfather ploughed the land
And your grandfather made profit from the land
And your father sold it to become a civil servant
And you, my boy, don't know what to do
In your tiny flat that's much too expensive and cold in winter
You're thinking of becoming an owner
And you dream at night of having your own little plot of ground

Your great-great-grandmother had 14 children
Your great-grandmother had ALMOST as many
And your grandmother had 3 that was enough
And your mother didn't want any you were an accident
And you, my dear girl, you keep changing partners
When you make mistakes you excuse yourself by having an abortion
But there are some mornings you wake up crying when you dream at night of a large table surrounded by children ...

Your great-great-grandfather lived through the Great Depression
Your great-grandfather collected pennies
And your grandfather, by a miracle, became a millionaire
Your father inherited from him and put everything in his retirement account
And you, little youth, you owe your life to the ministry
No way of getting a loan from a bank
To calm your urge to rob the cashier you read books that talk of ... voluntary simplicity

Your great-great-grandparents knew how to party
Your great-grandparents had a blast at evening parties
And your grandparents experienced the yé-yé era
Your parents were disco bunnies and that's where they met
And you, my friend, what do you do with your evening
Turn off your TV you shouldn't stay indoors
Fortunately, in life some things refuse to change
Put on your finest clothes ... because we're going dancing tonight!
