Текст и перевод песни Alain Chamfort - Cap aux Antilles

Cap aux Antilles

Le Roi de France
Qui tant dança
Ruinât la France
Tant il dança
Valsez Versailles
Parquets cirés
Que la piétaille
N′a pas souillés
Ce Roi des Rois
Danse à merveille
Dança, dança
Ce Roi Soleil
Plus un écu...
Le Roi s'émoit:
"Bon Saint Eloi,
"Le choc est là..."
"Cap aux Antilles"
Dit Saint Eloi
"Recrutons mille
"Et cent soldats."
"Pirates des mers:
"Cinquante-cinquante,
"ça vous tente?"
"Terreurs des terres:
"L′amnistie,
"ça vous dit?
"Filez, corsaires,
"Le Roi vous mène,
"Pillez corsaires,
"Ces mers lointaines..."
Et que l'or de vos bassesses
Emplisse enfin nos caisses...

Heading to the Antilles

The King of France
Who danced so much
Ruined France
As he danced so much
Waltz Versailles
Waxed parquet floors
That the rabble
Had not soiled
This King of Kings
Dances wonderfully
Danced, danced
This Sun King
Not a penny more...
The King is moved:
"Good Saint Eloi,
"The shock is here..."
"Heading to the Antilles"
Says Saint Eloi
"We'll recruit a thousand
"And a hundred soldiers."
"Pirates of the seas:
"Fifty-fifty,
"Are you tempted?"
"Land-based terrors:
"An amnesty,
"Does that sound good?"
"Off with you, privateers,
"The King leads you,
"Plunder, privateers,
"These distant seas..."
And may the gold of your foul deeds
Finally fill our coffers...
