Paroles et traduction Pierre Perret - Don Quichotte et Sancho Panca

Don Quichotte et Sancho Panca

Connaissez-vous Don Quichotte et l'écuyer Sancho?
Deux vaillants chevaliers qui n'étaient pas manchots
Les moulins à vent, pourtant de vrais géants dodus
Étaient brisés, hachés, moulus, rasés, tondus

Don Quichotte et Sancho Pança
Saperlotte, vous auriez vu ça
Don Quichotte et Sancho Pança
La tremblote, ils ignoraient complètement ça

Sur la brave Rossinante et le patient Grison
Ils s'en allaint faire justice aux quatre horizons
Passant d'un pays à l'autre, ils étaient si forts
Qu'aux douaniers ils ne montraient même pas l'passeport

Don Quichotte et Sancho Pança
Saperlotte, vous auriez vu ça
Don Quichotte et Sancho Pança
La tremblote, ils ignoraient complètement ça

Pendant qu'sur un arbre surveillait Sancho Pança
Seul, Don Quichotte provoquait les armées du roi
Il tordait tellement de cous, arrachait tant de têtes
Qu'il se reposait parfois, fumant une cigarette

Don Quichotte et Sancho Pança
Saperlotte, vous auriez vu ça
Don Quichotte et Sancho Pança
La tremblote, ils ignoraient complètement ça

Un jour, Don Quichotte, le valeureux, le hardi
Près d'une muraille rencontra un malpoli
D'un seul coup de poing au creux du mur le fit rentrer
Ne lui laissant qu'le bras dehors pour saluer

Don Quichotte et Sancho Pança
Saperlotte, vous auriez vu ça
Don Quichotte et Sancho Pança
La tremblote, ils ignoraient complètement ça

Les ennemis, la soif, la faim et les intempéries
Usaient souvent jusqu'à leur peau et leurs habits
C'est la mort dans l'âme que chacun retrouvait sa maison
Ses amis, les pantoufles et la télévision

Don Quichotte et Sancho Pança
Saperlotte, vous auriez vu ça
Don Quichotte et Sancho Pança
La tremblote, ils ignoraient complètement ça

Don Quixote and Sancho Panza

Do you know Don Quixote and his squire, Sancho, my dear?
Two valiant knights who were quite the pair, you see?
Windmills, though plump and giant-like and real,
Were smashed, minced, ground, shaved, and sheared with zeal.

Don Quixote and Sancho Panza
Good heavens, darling, you should have seen the danza!
Don Quixote and Sancho Panza
Trembling? They didn't know the meaning, not a chance, huh?

On brave Rocinante and the patient Grison,
They went to bring justice to every horizon.
Passing from one country to another, so strong were they,
They didn't even show their passports, come what may.

Don Quixote and Sancho Panza
Good heavens, sweetheart, you should have seen the danza!
Don Quixote and Sancho Panza
Trembling? They didn't know the meaning, not a glance, huh?

While Sancho Panza kept watch in a tree so tall,
Don Quixote, alone, provoked the king's armies, all.
He twisted so many necks, pulled off so many heads,
That sometimes he rested, smoking cigarettes in his beds.

Don Quixote and Sancho Panza
Good heavens, love, you should have seen the danza!
Don Quixote and Sancho Panza
Trembling? They didn't know the meaning, no answer, huh?

One day, Don Quixote, the valiant, the bold and free,
Near a wall, he met a rude fellow, you see.
With a single punch, he drove him into the wall's recess,
Leaving only his arm sticking out, I confess.

Don Quixote and Sancho Panza
Good heavens, my dear, you should have seen the danza!
Don Quixote and Sancho Panza
Trembling? They didn't know the meaning, no defense, huh?

Enemies, thirst, hunger, and stormy weather's plight,
Often wore down their skin and clothes, day and night.
With heavy hearts, each returned to his own home's embrace,
To his friends, his slippers, and the TV's grace.

Don Quixote and Sancho Panza
Good heavens, honey, you should have seen the danza!
Don Quixote and Sancho Panza
Trembling? They didn't know the meaning, not a trace, huh?
