Salvatore Adamo "Le barbu sans barbe" lyrics

Translation to:elen

Le barbu sans barbe

Avez-vous vu un barbu sans barbe?Avez-vous vu un poilu sans poils?Car ce barbu m'a laissé sa barbeOui ce poilu m'a laissé ses poils

Poils de chameau faut qu'je préciseCar ce salaud m'a piqué LiseQuand on l'a vu penaud, crottéMa femme et moi, eûmes pitiéL'avons lavé et bien raséIl était bien beau, il a remercié

Comme trois amis on s’est mis à tableRepas sans fin, il avait faim le pauvre diableIl a raconté qu'il a tout ratéC'était touchant de le voir pleurerL'avons bien plaint, reconfortéL'avons mis couché et bien bordé

Le lendemain manquait ma valiseMon costume neuf, ma plus belle chemisePas étonnant que mes effets lui aillentCar le coquin était de ma taille

Mais près de moi, y avait plus ma LiseElle a pas voulu lâcher la valiseQuelle infamie, c'est renversantLa pauvre fille m'appelle sûrement

Il est parti ma valise à la mainMais ce qui est pire, ma Lise à l'autre mainL'avez-vous vu ma valise à la main?L'avez-vous vu ma Lise à l'autre main?

Avez-vous vu un barbu sans barbe?Avez-vous vu un poilu sans poils?Car ce barbu m'a laissé sa barbeOui ce poilu m'a laissé ses poils

The Bearded Man With No Beard

Have you seen a bearded man with no beard?Have you seen a hairy man with no hair?Because this bearded man left me his beardYes, this hairy man left me his hair

Nasty hair, I must addBecause that bastard snatched my LiseWhen we saw him confused, dirtyMy wife and I had pityWe washed and shaved himHe was fine, he thanked us

Like three friends, we sat at the tableAn endless meal, the poor devil was hungryHe said he'd messed it all upIt was touching to see him cryWe pitied and comforted himWe put him to bed that was properly made

The next day my suitcase was missingMy new suit, my best shirtNo wonder my clothes fit himBecause the rascal was my size

But my Lise wasn't near meShe wouldn't let go of the suitcaseWhat a disgrace, it's astoundingThe poor girl is surely calling me

He left with my suitcase in his handBut what is worse, with my Lise in his other handHave you seen my suitcase in his hand?Have you seen my Lise in his other hand?

Have you seen a bearded man with no beard?Have you seen a hairy man with no hair?Because this bearded man left me his beardYes, this hairy man left me his hair
