Rock'n'roll
Au Bonheur des Dames Lyrics

Ah quelle misère
Expressing a feeling of despair and dissatisfaction with the current situation

Je m'désespère
Feeling hopeless and overwhelmed

Ca s'passe de commentaires
No need to comment, the situation is self-explanatory

Ca m'met en rage
Frustration and anger are building up inside

Ca m'met en nage
The intensity of emotions causes sweating and physical discomfort

J'arrête plus d'pousser des cris sauvages
Feeling so overwhelmed that one cannot help but scream out loud

J'ai le hoquet (hip! hip! hip!) {x2}
Suffering from hiccups, which are involuntary contractions of the diaphragm

J'ai le hoquet, j'ai le hoquet
Repeating the fact of having hiccups

Dieu me l'a fait
Believing that hiccups are a divine punishment or intervention

Et je ne peux plus m'arrêter
Feeling helpless and unable to control the hiccups

J'suis suffoqué
The hiccups are causing a feeling of suffocation

Je rock et je hoquète {x2}
Trying to mix dancing with hiccuping, but failing to do so

Baby baby baby fais-moi peur (hou hou hou) {x2}
Asking the partner to scare them in hopes of getting rid of the hiccups

Baby même soulage mon pauvre coeur
Asking the partner to comfort them and relieve their emotional stress

Baby baby baby pour soigner ton homme
Asking the partner to take care of their man's hiccups

Va m'chercher des r'mèdes avec d'la boule de gomme
Suggesting that the partner should get some home remedies that involve chewing gum

Mais si tu désires me guérir tout de suite
Offering a more immediate solution to the problem

Dis à belle-mère de s'amener bien vite
Asking the partner to call their mother-in-law, who has the power to scare them out of their hiccups

Rien que d'regarder sa sinistre binette
Expecting the mother-in-law's facial expression to be so scary that it will cure their hiccups instantly

En une demi-seconde, le pire hoquet s'arrête
Believing that the mother-in-law's presence has a miraculous effect on the hiccups and can stop them instantly

Faut pas s'moquer
Asking others not to make fun of them

De mon hoquet
Referring to their hiccuping condition

J'ai l'air toqué, j'ai l'air toqué, j'ai l'air toqué
Feeling embarrassed and looking crazy to others because of the hiccuping

Et je ne peux plus m'arrêter
Feeling helpless to control the hiccups despite the embarrassment

J'suis suffoqué
Feeling more and more suffocated by the hiccups with time

Peut-être que j'vais crever!
Exaggerating the severity of the situation by saying that they might die from the hiccups

Baby baby baby le remède opère
Acknowledging that the mother-in-law's presence has cured the hiccups

T'as bien fait d'aller me chercher ma belle-mère
Appreciating the partner's effort in bringing the mother-in-law to cure the hiccups

Je l'ai vu entrer dans notre appartement
Confirming that the mother-in-law arrived and is present to cure the hiccups

Et son air féroce m'a retourné les sangs
Describing the mother-in-law's look as scary and intimidating even though it worked in stopping the hiccups

J'ai plus le hoquet et je re-rock'n'roll
Feeling relieved that the hiccups are gone and ready to go back to rock and roll lifestyle

Et je vais danser avec Martine Carole
Celebrating the end of hiccups by dancing with a partner

J'ai plus d'hoquet {x2}
Repeating the fact that the hiccups are gone

Ca peut choquer, ça peut choquer, ça peut choquer
Acknowledging that hiccuping and the process of curing it can be weird and shocking for others to watch

Comme une boule de croquet
Comparing the feeling of no longer having hiccups to a sense of relief similar to finishing a game of croquet

Voilà l'bouquet
Suggesting that the issue is resolved and done with

Recommençons le banquet
Returning to a celebration and party atmosphere now that the hiccups are gone

Battez le briquet
Encouraging others to light a fire or spark a flame to continue the party atmosphere

Ouvrez vos caquets
Encouraging others to speak up and join in the fun

Fermez les loquets
Asking others to lock the doors for privacy and safety

Ouvrons les paquets
Encouraging gift-giving and sharing to continue the party atmosphere

Jouons au bilboquet
Suggesting playing games to keep the party going

Parmi les bosquets
Referring to playing games and partying among the shrubs and trees

Car c'est fini j'ai plus le hoquet
Ending the song with a final confirmation that the hiccups are gone and the party can continue
