Paroles et traduction Mireille - Les trois gendarmes

Les trois gendarmes

En m'en allant à Bergame, L'autre jour, vendre mes ufs
J'ai rencontré trois gendarmes
Un tout jeune et deux grands vieux
En m'apercevant les lâches
Ils m'ont barré le chemin
Le petit frisa ses moustaches
Et m'a prise par les mains
Ne croyez pas que les gendarmes
Soient toujours des gens sérieux...
Mais non, mais non, mais non Mesdames
Mais non, mais non, mais non Messieurs
Malgré mes cris et mes larmes
Ils ont voulu voir mes ufs
Mais oui, mais oui Mesdames
Mais oui, mais oui Messieurs
Hélas! j'eus beau me débattre
Mes ufs étaient sacrifiés
Le premier m'en prit vingt quatre
Le second vida l'panier
Quant au pauvre petit troisième
Il ne lui restait rien du tout
Alors il m'a dit: "J'vous aime..."Et il m'a prise sur ses genoux
Ne croyez pas que les gendarmes
Soient toujours des gens sérieux...
Mais non, mais non, mais non Mesdames
Mais non, mais non, mais non Messieurs
Le petit sécha mes larmes
Les deux grands gobèrent mes ufs
Mais oui, mais oui Mesdames
Mais oui, mais oui Messieurs
Pendant que ses deux camarades
Mangeaient plus que de raison, Au point d'en être malades
Le petit, sur le gazon
M'avait déchiré ma robe
En me couvrant de baisers
Il m'a dit: "C'est toi que j'gobe
Viens par là, j'vais t'épouser"Ne croyez pas que les gendarmes
Soient toujours des gens sérieux...
Mais non, mais non, mais non Mesdames
Mais non, mais non, mais non Messieurs
Et je suis devenue la femme
Du petit qu'aimait pas les ufs
Mais oui, mais oui Mesdames
Mais oui, mais oui Messieurs

The Three Gendarmes

As I was going to Bergamo, The other day, to sell my eggs
I met three gendarmes
A very young one and two old ones
On seeing me the cowards
Blocked my way
The little one twirled his mustache
And took me by the hands
Don't think that the gendarmes
Are always serious people...
But no, but no, but no Ladies
But no, but no, but no Gentlemen
Despite my cries and tears
They wanted to see my eggs
But yes, but yes Ladies
But yes, but yes Gentlemen
Alas! I fought in vain
My eggs were sacrificed
The first one took twenty-four from me
The second emptied the basket
As for the poor little third
Nothing was left for him at all
Then he said to me: "I love you..."And he took me on his lap
Don't think that the gendarmes
Are always serious people...
But no, but no, but no Ladies
But no, but no, but no Gentlemen
The little one dried my tears
The two big ones gobbled up my eggs
But yes, but yes Ladies
But yes, but yes Gentlemen
While his two comrades
Were eating more than was reasonable, To the point of being sick
The little one, on the lawn
Had torn my dress
Covering me with kisses
He said to me: "It's you I gobble up
Come this way, I'm going to marry you"Don't think that the gendarmes
Are always serious people...
But no, but no, but no Ladies
But no, but no, but no Gentlemen
And I became the wife
Of the little one who didn't like eggs
But yes, but yes Ladies
But yes, but yes Gentlemen
