Just got back from Paris, France
All they do is sing and dance
All they've got there is romance
What a tragedy
Every boulevard has lovers
Every lover's in a trance
The poor people of Paree
I feel sorry for the French
Every guy has got a wench
Every couple's got a bench
Kissing shamelessly
Night and day they're making music
While they're making love in French
The poor people of Paree
Milk or water from the sink
Make a true Parisian shrink
Wine is all he'll ever drink
And it worries me
For with wine as cheap as water
Oh, it makes one stop and think
The poor people of Paree
Sister met a boy named Pierre
Had the craziest affair
And the day they parted there
He cried bitterly
Pierre was there to bid her farewell
But he brought his new girl, Claire
The poor people of Paree
So don't go to Paris, France
Not unless you like to dance
Not unless you want romance
Like those poor inhabitants of Paree
Ésgourdez rien qu'un instant
La goualante du pauvre Jean
Que les femmes n'aimaient pas
Mais n'oubliez pas
Dans la vie y a qu'une morale
Qu'on soit riche ou sans un sou
Sans amour on n'est rien du tout
(On n'est rien du tout)
Il vivait au jour le jour
Dans la soie et le velours
Il piaussait dans de beaux draps
Mais n'oubliez pas
Dans la vie on est peau de balle
Quand notre coeur est au clou
Sans amour on n'est rien du tout
(On n'est rien du tout)
Il bectait chez les barons
Il guinchait dans les salons
Et lichait tous les tafias
Mais n'oubliez pas
Rien ne vaut une belle fille
Qui partage notre ragoût
Sans amour on n'est rien du tout
(On n'est rien du tout)
Pour gagner des picaillons
Il fut un méchant larron
On le saluait bien bas
Mais n'oubliez pas
Un jour on fait la pirouette
Et derriere les verrous
Sans amour on n'est rien du tout
(On n'est rien du tout)
Ésgourdez bien jeunes gens
Profitez de vos vingt ans
On ne les a qu'une fois
Et n'oubliez pas
Plutôt qu'une cordelette
Mieux vaut une femme à son cou
Sans amour on n'est rien du tout
(On n'est rien du tout)
Et voilà mes brave gens
La goualante du pauvre Jean
Qui vous dit en vous quittant
Aimez-vous...
La goualante du pauvre Jean - The Poor People Of Paris (Jean's Song)
Paroles - words by Rene Rouzaud Musique - music by Marguerite Monnot
(1905 - 1976) (1903 - 1961)
"The Poor People of Paris" is a very popular song. It was adapted by Jack Lawrence in 1954 from the French language song "La goualante du pauvre Jean".
The title arises in part from a misapprehension of the French title, as "pauvre Jean" was taken for the same-sounding "pauvre gens,"
which translates as "poor people." A recording of the song by Les Baxter's orchestra was a number-one hit on the Billboard Singles Chart in the US during 1956.
recordings: Bing Crosby & Rosemary Clooney... Maurice Chevalier... Ray Coniff Vocal Group... Dean Martin...
