Paroles et traduction Pierre Vassiliu - Armand

Armand

Ce pauvre gosse naquit dans la misère
Aussitôt on lui demanda
S′il voulait vivre avec sa mère
Puisqu'il n′avait plus de papa

REFRAIN:
C'était un pauvre gars
Qui s'appelait Armand
Y avait pas de papa
Y avait pas de maman

Son père disparut à treize ans
Un soir dans la cour de l′école
Alors qu′il jouait gentiment
A la balle et à pigeon vole

REFRAIN

Sa mère fût mordue subite ment
Un soir qu'elle jouait dans la neige
Avec un tout petit serpent
Qu′elle avait pris pour une asperge.

REFRAIN

La seule fille qui en fut amoureuse
Ne savait que garder ses moutons
Elle lui refila la fièvre aphteuse
Et c'est lui qui garda ses boutons

REFRAIN

Mais un jour pendant la tétée
Trouvant la nounou un peu plate
Il lui souffla dans les nénés
Jusqu′à ce que la nounou éclate

REFRAIN

Armand

This poor boy was born in poverty
He was asked right away
If he wanted to live with his mother
Since he didn't have a father anymore

CHORUS:
He was a poor guy
Whose name was Armand
He didn't have a father
He didn't have a mother

His father disappeared when he was thirteen
One evening in the schoolyard
While he was playing nicely
Dodgeball and tag

CHORUS

His mother was bitten suddenly
One evening when she was playing in the snow
With a tiny snake
That she had mistaken for asparagus.

CHORUS

The only girl who was in love with him
Knew only how to tend to her sheep
She gave him foot-and-mouth disease
And he was the one who kept her buttons

CHORUS

But one day during the feeding
Finding the nanny a bit flat-chested
He blew in her breasts
Until the nanny exploded

CHORUS
