Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jean Loup et la belle Claire avec un vieux canard

Partirent poiur la guerre, mais ils étaient en retard

Ils suivaient leurs petits rêves de gloire

Le long de la mer, sous les étoiles

Mais ils étaient encore et toujours en retard

"Viens Jean Loup, viens vieux canard

N'ayez pas peure de quelque hasard

Des fusils, de leur "pum pum"

Ainsi disait la belle Claire qui marchait ...

Poi videro un soltato che lor disse così

"La guerra è ormai perduta, andate via di qui!"

Viens Jean Loup, viens vieux canard

On va chercher d'autres rêves de gloire

J'vous en prie, allez, plus vite

J'vous en prie plus vite, plus vite...

Ils suivaient d'autres petits rêves de gloire

Le long de la mer sous les étoiles

Mais ils étaient encore et toujours en retard...
