These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Un peu de boue, un bout de ciel
A little mud, a piece of sky
Me voici tel que m'a créé
Here I am as created me
Je ne sais quel artiste au génie triste
I don't know which artist with a sad genius
Couché debout pauvre mortel
Lying upright poor mortal
Me voici tel que je suis né
Here I am as I was born
Sous le pinceau du grand Picasso de là haut
Under the brush of the great Picasso from above
Holà mon pote, sors de l'église
Hey buddy, get out of the church
Tout ça mon pote c'est des bêtises
All this, my friend, is nonsense
Et loin de l'orgue, retrouve ton orgueil
And far from the organ, find your pride
Laisse tomber le vin de messe
Ditch the sacramental wine
Et laisse plutôt tomber ta main aux fesses
And instead drop your hand to your butt
De la souris qui vient de te faire
Of the mouse that just made you
de l'œil, de l'œil, de l'œi, lde l'œil
of the eye, of the eye, of the eye, of the eye
Mais la souris sourit aux anges
But the mouse smiles at the angels
Et sous sa frange son front est pur
And under his bangs his forehead is pure
Et dans ses yeux rayonne tant d'azur
And in his eyes shines so much azure
Qu'elle me plonge dans un dilemme
That it plunges me into a dilemma
Et je ne sais plus si je l'emmène
And I don't know if I'm taking him anymore
Dans un hôtel ou bien alors devant l'autel
In a hotel or in front of the altar
Holà mon pote sors de l'église
Hello my friend come out of the church
Tout ça mon pote c'est des bêtises
All this, my friend, is nonsense
Sors de la chapelle et remets ton chapeau, ton chapeau
Come out of the chapel and put your hat back on, your hat on
Il faut avoir les pieds sur terre
You have to have your feet on the ground
Les seins des filles c'est pas des saint Pierre
Girls' breasts are not Saint Peter's
Et les cantiques, on gagne peu dans ce boulot
And hymns, we earn little in this job
Boulot, boulot, boulot, boulot
Work, work, work, work
Un peu de boue un bout de ciel
A little mud a piece of sky
Me voici tel que m'a créé
Here I am as created me
Je ne sais quel artiste au génie triste
I don't know which artist with a sad genius
Couché debout, pauvre mortel
Lying upright, poor mortal
Me voici tel que je suis né
Here I am as I was born
Sous le pinceau du grand Picasso de là-haut
Under the brush of the great Picasso from up there
de là-haut, ho ho ho!
from up there, ho ho ho!
Sors de l'église
Leave the church
Sors de l'église, de a montagne
Get out of the church, out of the mountain
Sors de l'église
Leave the church
Sors de l'église
Leave the church
Sors de l'église
Leave the church
Sors!
Go outside!
