J'vais pas vous draguer, promis juré
I won't hit on you, I swear
J'suis célibataire, depuis hier, putain
I've been single since yesterday, damn
J'peux pas faire d'enfant et bon, c'est pas...
I can't have kids and well, that's not...
Hé, reviens, cinq minutes quoi, j't'ai pas insultée
Hey, come back, just five minutes, I didn't insult you
J'suis poli, courtois, et un peu fort bourré
I'm polite, courteous, and a little too drunk
Mais pour les mecs comme moi
But for guys like me
Vous avez autre chose à faire, hein
You've got better things to do, huh
M'auriez vu hier

Because you got married? That's just a ring
Mec, t'emballes pas
Dude, don't get carried away
Elle va t'larguer comme elles le font chaque fois
She'll dump you like they always do
Et puis l'autre fille, tu lui en as parlé?
And that other girl, did you tell her?
S'tu veux j'lui dis, comme ça c'est réglé
Want me to tell her, then it's settled
Et au petit aussi, enfin si vous en avez
And the kid too, I mean if you have one
Attends trois ans, sept ans et là vous verrez

Hey kid, oh sorry, kiddo
Tu sais dans la vie, y a ni méchants ni gentils
You know in life, there's no bad guys or good guys
Si Maman est chiante
If Mom's a pain
C'est qu'elle a peur d'être mamie
It's 'cause she's scared of being a grandma
Si Papa trompe Maman
If Dad cheats on Mom
C'est parce que Maman vieillit, tiens
It's 'cause Mom's getting old, see
Pourquoi t'es tout rouge? Ben reviens gamin
Why are you all red? Hey, come back, kid
Et qu'est-ce que vous avez tous
And what's with all of you
À me regarder comme un singe, vous?
Staring at me like I'm a monkey, huh?
Ah oui, vous êtes saints, vous
