L'équipe à Jojo [English translation]
L'équipe à Jojo [English translation]
Lulu sold his paintings
Jacquot crashed in a bar
Dédé was tasting wines
I was a strong worker at the Halles*
And Gégé was washing cars
Pierrot did nothing
We were saving up
To buy an old jalopy
With a rusty cowl
That dreamt of Provence
and died at Fontainebleau
We lit a cigarette and all the lights came on
And we had a ball, on the fourteenth of July
there was never a friend too many
in Jojo's lot
There were less guitarless nights than days without bread
We were sharing everything, and we had nothing
How crazy we were, how little we cared
What a good time we had
Renting for peanuts
The four walls of an old loft
On the verge of crumbling
But for all of a fortune
We would not have moved out
We lit a cigarette and all the lights came on
And we had a ball, on the fourteenth of July
there was never a friend too many
in Jojo's lot
There were less guitarless nights than days without bread
We were sharing everything, and we had nothing
How crazy we were, how little we cared
What a good time we had
Lucienne set sail
And Jaques bought a bar
Where André is drinking water
I'm no longer the strong one at the Halles
Roger is auditing taxes
Pierre is looking for a job
I changed my guitar
But I guarded like a gift
A spirit that is keeping me warm
Deep in my memories
That of Jojo's lot
We lit a cigarette and all the lights came on
And we had a ball, on the fourteenth of July
there was never a friend too many
in Jojo's lot
There were less guitarless nights than days without bread
We were sharing everything, and we had nothing
How crazy we were, how little we cared
What a good time we had
