Le Con

I
Quand la chouette aux yeux jaunes
La nuit en plein mois d'Aot
D'un long cri qui rsonne
Appelle son hibou
Les braves gens du village
La mine rjouie
Savent bien que ce ramage
C'est pas l'oiseau de nuit
Refrain
Ils dis' tiens c'est la Corinne
Qui a encor' trouv un' pine
La p'tit noire du garde chass'
C'est un vrai pige bcass'
A l'unisson les paroissiens
Dir' y a qu'a qui lui fait du bien
II
Et quand l'hiver s'en vient
Sous les premiers flocons
D'un grand coup de surin
On saigne le cochon
Est-ce la bt' qui agonise
De qui provienn't ces cris
Pousss derrir' l'glise
Mais les fidl' qui prient
Refrain
Disent tiens c'est la Corinne
Qui a encor trouv un' pine
C'est cell' du berger Bobby
A le chang' de ses brebis
L'unisson les paroissiens
Dir' y a qu'a qui lui fait du bien
III
Elle emm'na en Afrique
Son mari Casimir
Qui crut entendre un soir
Un lphant barrir
Mais ce long cri sauvage
Cett' froce clameur
Les guerriers du village
La connaissaient par par c? ur
Refrain
Ils dir' tiens c'est la Corinne
Qui a encore trouv un' pine
Sr'ment cell' du grand sorcier
Qui lui agit' le couscoussier
L'unisson les Africains
Dir' y a qu'a qui lui fait du bien
IV
Dans un transatlantique
Su' l'chemin du retour
Ils croisr' des baleines
Poussant des cris d'amour
Mais dans la nuit obscure
Ces cris de supplicis
Les marins les r'connurent
Ainsi qu'les plaisanciers
Refrain
Ils dir' tiens c'est la Corinne
Le capitain' la taquine
Cette heur' l en

The Con

I
When the owl with yellow eyes
At night in full August
With a long cry that resonates
Calls his owl
The brave people of the village
Mine happy
Know well that this racket
This is not the night bird
Refrain
They say oh dear it's Corinne
Who has found another pine
The little black girl of the game warden
She's a real woodcock trap
In unison the parishioners
Say only he who does good to her
II
And when winter comes
Under the first snowflakes
With a great blow of a knife
We bleed the pig
Is it the beast that agonizes
From whom come these cries
Poussed behind the church
But the loyal who pray
Refrain
Say oh dear it's Corinne
Who has found another pine
It's that of the shepherd Bobby
To change his sheep
The unison the parishioners
Say only he who does good to her
III
She took me to Africa
Her husband Casimir
Who thought he heard one evening
An elephant roar
But this long savage cry
This fierce clamor
The warriors of the village
Knew it by heart
Refrain
They say oh dear it's Corinne
Who has found another pine
Surely that of the great sorcerer
Who stirs her couscous pot
The unison the Africans
Say only he who does good to her
IV
In a transatlantic
On the way back
They meet whales
Pushing out cries of love
But in the dark night
These cries of supplication
The sailors recognized them
As well as the boaters
Refrain
They say oh dear it's Corinne
The captain teases her
This time there in
