Текст и перевод песни Pierre Perret - Le bonheur conjugal

Le bonheur conjugal

On s′est connus
Au restaurant du tors-boyaux
C'est des frissons plein la peau
Qu′on est r'venus
Moi j'ai pens?
Qu′entre la chaleur de son corps
Et la chaleur de mon corps
? A pourrait chauffer
{Refrain:}
Jusque l? rien d′anormal
Nul ne le contestera
Le bonheur conjugal
Nous tendait les bras
On s'? tait dit
Qu′entre ses parents hyst? riques
Et mes parents alcooliques
? A pourrait coller
On a pens?
Que sa frangine sortant d'une maison
Et mon p′tit fr? re de prison
? A pouvait gazer
{Au Refrain}
Je me r? jouis
Son parfum d'ail me plut autant
Que la couleur de ses dents
Un peu vert-de-gris
Son teint blafard
Etait pour s? r un don des cieux
Ainsi que ses yeux chassieux
Pas besoin de fard
{Au Refrain}
Or les copains
S? rement jaloux que j′ai eu du flair
Ont pr? tendu que son fr? re
Me refusait sa main
Mais halte-l?
Ne nous laissons point abuser
Y pouvait pas me la refuser
Elle n'en avait pas
{Au Refrain}
Comble de joie
Elle avait une jambe de bois
Du c? t? gauche par bonheur
Moi du c? t? droit
J'? tais joyeux
Sa famille n′avait pas de maison
La mienne couchait sous les ponts
C′? tait merveilleux
{Au Refrain}
Seulement voil?
Elle faisait des fautes de fran? ais
Personnellement? a me g? nait
J'ai le certificat
Pour comble un jour
Dans une conversation d′amour
Elle me sortit tout de go
J'aime les z′haricots
{Au Refrain}
C'? tait vraiment pas normal
Nul ne le contestera
Et ce trou c? r? bral
Venait me couper les bras
J′ai rompu mes fian? ailles
Mais le remords me tenaille
Car pour moi l'id? al
C'est le bonheur conjugal

Marital Bliss

We met,
At the "Twisted Gut" restaurant
Chills ran down my skin,
When we came back.
I thought,
That between the heat of her body
And the heat of my body,
We could warm up.
{Chorus:}
Nothing unusual so far,
No one will dispute that
Marital bliss
Was just around the corner.
We had told ourselves
That between her hysterical parents
And my alcoholic parents,
We could stick together.
We thought
That her sister, fresh out of rehab,
And my little brother, out of prison,
Could make it work.
{Chorus}
I reveled
Her garlic perfume pleased me as much
As the color of her teeth,
A little verdigris.
Her sallow complexion
Was surely a gift from heaven,
As were her rheumy eyes.
No need for makeup.
{Chorus}
But my friends,
Surely jealous that I had good taste,
Claimed that her brother
Refused to give me her hand.
But stop right there.
Let's not be fooled.
He couldn't refuse me her hand
Because she didn't have one.
{Chorus}
Overjoyed,
She had a wooden leg
Fortunately on the left side
I on the right.
I was delighted.
Her family didn't have a house.
Mine slept under bridges.
It was wonderful.
{Chorus}
But the only thing was,
She made some really bad grammar mistakes.
Personally, it bothered me,
I have my diploma.
And to top it all off,
One day in a love conversation,
She blurted out,
I love carrots.
{Chorus}
This really wasn't normal,
No one will dispute that.
And that mental gap
Was killing me.
I broke off our engagement.
But remorse gnaws at me,
Because for me, the ideal
Is marital bliss.
