Le dîner [English translation]

I don't want to go to that dinner

I don't feel up to it, I'm tired

They won't mind, come on let's not go

Anyway I need to go on a diet, my shirt's too tight

I look like a chipolata

I can't go out like that

That's nothing to do with it, I really like your friends

But I don't want to see them because I don't feel like it

We couldn't care less, we're not going

We've just got to hide oursleves under the sheets

We'll order some pizzas, you, the telly and me

We'll ring, we'll apologize, we'll improvise, we'll think of something

We've only got to tell your friends

That we don't like them and that's too bad

I'm not in the mood, everthing's getting me down and it so happens that

There's a fantastic film on telly this evening

A cinematic masterpiece which I'd like to see again, a highly commited drama

About the Saint-Tropez police

It's a social satire whose central character is played by Funes

And what's more there's aliens

We couldn't care less, we're not going

On commandera des pizzas, toi la télé et moi,

On n'a qu'à dire à tes amis

I've got the shivers and I feel weak, I think I'm unwell

It wouldn't be sensible to go out now

I'd prefer not to take any risks, It could be contagious

It's better that I stay, I don't like it but it's for the best

You're calling me selfish, how dare you say that?

Me who's unhappy and miserable and I haven't even got 'home-cinema'
