Текст и перевод песни Adamo - Le Barbu sans barde

Le Barbu sans barde

Avez-vous vu un barbu sans barbe
Avez-vous vu un poilu sans poils
Car ce barbu m'a laissé sa barbe
Oui ce poilu m'a laissé ses poils

Poils de chameau faux que je précise
Car ce salaud m'a piqué Lise
Quand on l'a vue penaud crotté
Ma femme et moi eurent pitié
L'avons lavé et bien rasé
Il était bien beau il a remercié

Comme trois amis on s'est mis à table
Repas sans fin il avait faim à pauvre diable
Il a raconté qu'il a tout raté
C'était touchant de le voir pleurer
L'avons bien plein réconforté
L'avons mit couché et bien bordé

Le lendemain manquait ma valise
Mon costume neuf ma plus belle chemise
Pas étonnant que mes effets lui aillent
Car le coquin était de ma taille

Mais près de moi y'avait plus ma Lise
Elle a pas voulu lâcher la valise
Quelle infamie, c'est renversant
La pauvre fille m'appelle sûrement

Il est parti ma valise à la main
Mais ce qui est pis ma Lise à l'autre main
L'avez-vous vu ma valise à la main
L'avez-vous vu ma Lise à l'autre main

Avez-vous vu un barbu sans barbe
Avez-vous vu un poilu sans poils
Car ce barbu m'a laissé sa barbe
Oui ce poilu m'a laissé ses poils

The Bearded Man Without a Beard

Have you seen a bearded man without a beard
Have you seen a hairy man without hair
Because this bearded man left me his beard
Yes this hairy man left me his hair

Phony camel hair, I must clarify
Because this bastard stole my Lise
When we saw him shamed and dirty
My wife and I took pity
Washed him and shaved him clean
He was quite handsome and he thanked us

Like three friends we sat down at the table
Endless meal, he was starving poor devil
He told us how he had failed at everything
It was touching to see him cry
We consoled him well
Put him to bed and tucked him in

The next morning my suitcase was missing
My new suit, my best shirt
No wonder my belongings fit him
Because the scoundrel was my size

But next to me Lise was gone
She didn't want to let go of the suitcase
What infamy, it's outrageous
The poor girl is surely calling me

He left with my suitcase in his hand
But what's worse, Lise in his other hand
Have you seen him, my suitcase in his hand
Have you seen him, Lise in his other hand

Have you seen a bearded man without a beard
Have you seen a hairy man without hair
Because this bearded man left me his beard
Yes this hairy man left me his hair
