Le Bébé Lyrics in English by Aldebert
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Bébé by Aldebert from French to English.
J'me suis dit 'tiens, invitons les! ça fait tellement longtemps
I thought, 'Hey, let's invite them! It's been so long!'
On se gargarisera de nos aventures d'anciens combattants
We'll brag about our adventures like old war veterans
L'internat, le collège, on f'ra l'inventaire du passé On doit avoir des tonnes de trucs
Boarding school, middle school, we'll take stock of the past. We must have tons of stuff
À s'dire, en tous cas
To tell each other, anyway
Vous n'avez pas changé!
You haven't changed a bit!
La nouvelle est tombée comme un coup d'trique, un coup de masse
The news hit like a blow from a club, like a sledgehammer
Le genre de dépeche qui vous fait dire 'c'est fou comme ça passe!'
The kind of news that makes you say, 'It's crazy how time flies!'
Alors comme ça, vous n'êtes plus un simple couple d'amis
So, you're no longer just a couple of friends
Sans s'en apperçevoir, vous voilà devenu famille
Without even realizing it, you've become a family
Entrez! C'est ouvert, installez vous
Come in! It's open, make yourselves at home
Des fleurs! Fallait pas!
Flowers! You shouldn't have!
C'est votre portrait tout craché, c'est fou!
She's the spitting image of you, it's crazy!
Elle a les yeux de son papa
She has her daddy's eyes
Dès lors un ouragan investit mon appartement
From then on, a hurricane invaded my apartment
Une armée en campagne avec son équipement
An army on campaign with its equipment
Blédine, tétine, lit-parapluie, table à langer, maxi-cosi
Baby food, pacifier, travel cot, changing table, Maxi-Cosi
Douillette, peluche, poussette, Youpala, talc et Mytosil
Blanket, stuffed animal, stroller, baby walker, talcum powder and Mytosil
Ils ont emmené de quoi subsister pendant deux hivers
They brought enough to last two winters
Restera-t-il quelques mètres carrés qu'on puisse boire un verre?
Will there be a few square meters left where we can have a drink?
Il est né le divin enfant
The divine child is born!
Posez hautbois, rangez les musettes
Put down the oboes, pack away the bagpipes!
Il est né le divin enfant
The divine child is born!
Tu peux faire une croix sur ta vie d'avant
You can kiss your old life goodbye!
Chantons tous son avènement
Let's all sing of his coming!
Ca y est, elle va nous faire tourner les 300 photos du poupon
Here we go, she's going to show us the 300 baby pictures
Là elle sourit, là elle prend son bain, là elle fait pipi, là elle prend son biberon!
There she is smiling, there she's taking a bath, there she's peeing, there she's having her bottle!
C'est balo! Le magnétoscope est HS, heureusement
That's a bummer! The VCR is broken, thankfully
Grâce au ciel on évite la VHS de l'accouchement
Thank goodness we're spared the VHS of the birth
Otages de leur progéniture, ils s'extasient au moindre soubresaut
Hostages to their offspring, they gush over the slightest movement
'Oôôôh comme c'est mignon, elle a mis sa tétine dans ton porto!
'Aww, how cute, she put her pacifier in your port!
Tiens! Tu veux la prendre, essaie c'est sympa tu vas voir!'
Here! Do you want to take it? Try it, it's nice, you'll see!'
Je crois qu'elle s'est laissée aller sur moi, ça sent bizarre
I think she let herself go on me, it smells strange
Il est né le divin enfant
The divine child is born!
Posez hautbois, rangez les musettes
Put down the oboes, pack away the bagpipes!
Il est né le divin enfant
The divine child is born!
Tu peux faire une croix sur ta vie d'avant
You can kiss your old life goodbye!
Déjà les faire-part m'avaient mis la puce à l'oreille
The birth announcements already tipped me off
Trois petits lapins annonçant l'arrivée de mademoiselle
Three little bunnies announcing the arrival of the little miss
Deux tonnes de mignardises dégoulinant sur un bristol plié en trois
Two tons of sweets dripping onto a card folded in three
'Un ange est né il s'appelle Léa et nous pleurons de joie!'
'An angel is born, her name is Léa, and we are crying tears of joy!'
Ca fait bien trois quarts dh'eure qu'elle hurle à coté de moi en battant l'air
She's been screaming next to me for a good three-quarters of an hour, beating the air
Font-ils des muselières pour Godzilla en grenouillère?
Do they make muzzles for Godzilla in a onesie?
C'est le moment que tu choisis pour me poser la question
And this is the moment you pick to ask me that question
C'est quand qu'on en fait un nous aussi?
When are we going to make one too?
C'est trop mignon!
It's so cute!
Il est né le divin enfant
The divine child is born!
Posez hautbois, rangez les musettes
Put down the oboes, pack away the bagpipes!
Il est né le divin enfant
The divine child is born!
Tu peux faire une croix sur ta vie d'avant
You can kiss your old life goodbye!
Chantons tous son avènement
Let's all sing of his coming!
Did you like this lyrics translation?
grenouillère — onesie / sleepsuit
Grenouillère literally translates to "frog suit", but it's the charming French word for a baby's onesie or sleepsuit. It's a delightful and somewhat whimsical term that perfectly fits the playful tone of Aldebert's song about the chaos and joy a new baby brings.
In the lyrics, the singer humorously asks, "Font-ils des muselières pour Godzilla en grenouillère?" (Do they make muzzles for Godzilla in a onesie?), highlighting the baby's surprisingly powerful and sometimes overwhelming presence, despite being dressed in an adorable outfit. It's a memorable word that captures the essence of the song's humor and theme.
