Текст и перевод песни Salvatore Adamo - Le Barbu Sans Barbe

Le Barbu Sans Barbe

Avez-vous vu un barbu sans barbe? Avez-vous vu un poilu sans poil?
Car ce barbu m'a laissé sa barbe, oui, ce poilu m'a laissé ses poils

Poils de chameau, faut qu'je précise, car ce salaud m'a chipé Lise
Quand on l'a vu penaud, crotté, ma femme et moi, eûmes 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 le pauvre diable

Il a raconté qu'il a tout raté, c'était touchant de le voir pleurer
L'avons bien plaint, réconforté, l'avons mis 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 n'a pas voulu lâcher la valise
Quel infamie, c'est renversant, la pauvre fille m'appelle sûrement
Il est parti ma valise à la main
Mais c'qui est pire, 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 poil?
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 a hair?
Because this bearded man left me his beard, yes, this hairy man left me his hairs

Camel hair, I must specify, because this bastard stole Lise from me
When we saw him dejected, dirty, my wife and I, had pity
We washed him and shaved him well, he was quite handsome, he thanked us
As three friends we sat at the table
An endless meal, the poor devil was hungry

He told us that he had failed at everything, it was touching to see him cry
We pitied him, comforted him, put him to bed and tucked him in
The next day my suitcase was missing
My new suit, my most beautiful shirt
No wonder my things fit him, because the scoundrel was my size

But beside me, there was no more Lise
She wouldn't let go of the suitcase
What a disgrace, it's unbelievable, 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 with my suitcase in his hand?
Have you seen him with Lise in his other hand?

Have you seen a bearded man without a beard? Have you seen a hairy man without a hair?
Because this bearded man left me his beard, yes, this hairy man left me his hairs!
