Original text | |
Adieu ta belle jeunesse. Allez, tu t'es bien amusé. Tu as dilapidé tes biens, maintenant tu vas le regretter. S'il est vrai que tu as fait ripaille, que tu as dansé dans des palais, allez, reste nu sur la paille, et bourré de foin comme un âne. Refrain: Adieu pauvre, adieu pauvre, adieu pauvre Carnaval. Tu t'en vas et je m'en reviens. Adieu pauvre Carnaval. Tchi ri tchi tchi tchitchi tchitchi Ecoute bien, l'ami Jacques, Tchi ri tchi tchi tchitchi tchitchi écoute bien ce que je te dis. Adieu, toi qui te la coulais douce, toi qui t'es vu adulé. Adieu l'argent que tu jetais par les fenêtres, maintenant la roue a tourné. Il te faut changer de train de vie, et si tu ne veux pas en pâtir, pour te punir de tes crimes, vermine, on va t'achever ! Refrain Adieu vieux père pervers, le carême est arrivé. C'est le jour de la justice. Adieu à toi qui vas crever. Tout le peuple te salue, lui revient, et toi, tu t'en vas. Ta dernière heure est venue. Adieu pauvre Carnaval. Refrain | |

Farewell to Carnival Goodbye your beautiful youth. Come on, you had a great time. You squandered your possessions, now you will regret it. If it is true that you had a feast, that you danced in palaces, come on, stay naked on the straw, and stuffed with hay like a donkey. Chorus: Farewell poor, farewell poor, farewell poor Carnival. You go away and I come back. Goodbye poor Carnival. Tchi ri tchi tchi tchitchi tchitchi Listen carefully, friend Jacques, Tchi ri tchi tchi tchitchi tchitchi listen carefully to what I'm telling you. Goodbye, you who took it easy, you who saw yourself adored. Goodbye the money you threw out the windows, now the wheel has turned. You have to change your lifestyle, and if you don't want to suffer, to punish you for your crimes, vermin, we're going to finish you off! Chorus Goodbye old perverted father, Lent has arrived. It is the day of justice. Farewell to you who are going to die. All the people greet you, comes back to him, and you leave. Your last hour has come. Goodbye poor Carnival.
