Song : Le petit pain au chocolat

French English
Tous les matins il achetait

 

Son petit pain au chocolat.

La boulangère lui souriait,

Il ne la regardait pas.

Et pourtant, elle était belle.

Les clients ne voyaient qu’elle.

Il faut dire qu’elle était vraiment

très croustillante.

Autant que ses croissants.

Et elle rêvait mélancolique

Le soir dans sa boutique

A ce jeune homme distant

Il était myope voilà tout,

Mais elle ne le savait pas

Il vivait dans un monde flou

Où les nuages volaient bas.
Il ne voyait pas qu’elle était belle

Ne savait pas qu’elle était celle

Que le destin lui envoyait à l’aveuglette

Pour faire son bonheur

Et la fille qui n’était pas bête

Acheta des lunettes

A l’élu de son coeur.

Dans l’odeur chaude des galettes,

Des baguettes et des babas,

Dans la boulangerie en fête

Un soir on les maria.

Tout en blanc, qu’elle était belle!

Les clients ne voyaient qu’elle.

Et de leur union sont nés des tas de petits gosses,

Myopes comme papa,

Gambadant parmi les brioches,

Se remplissant les poches

De petits pains au chocolat.

Et pourtant elle était belle

Les clients ne voyaient qu’elle

Et quand on y pense,

La vie est très bien faite,

Il suffit de si peu.

D’une simple paire de lunettes

Pour rapprocher deux êtres

Et pour qu’ils soient heureux

Every morning, he used to buy

 

his little chocolate roll.

The woman at the bakery smiled at him.

He didn’t look at her.

Nonetheless she was beautiful

The other customers only saw her

You’ve gotta say she was

Really every bit as tasty

As her croissants.

And she dreamed sadly

In the evenings in her shop

Of the distant young man.

He was short-sighted

But she didn’t know

He lived in a blurred world

Where the clouds flew low
He didn’t see that she was beautiful

He didn’t know that she was after him

that destiny was sending him the blindness

to make her happy.

And the girl, who wasn’t stupid

Bought glasses

For the one of her heart

In the hot fragrance of the cakes

And the breads and the tarts

In the bakery  in one party

One night, they got married.

All in white she was so beautiful

The customers only saw her

And from their union were born

Heaps of little children

Short-sighted like their father

Gambolling among the cakes

Filling up their pockets

with little chocolate rolls

And yet she was beautiful

The customers only saw her

And when you think about it

Life is very well made

It takes as little as

A simple pair of glasses

To bring two people together

And to make them happy
