Scandale dans la famille [English translation]

Oh Dad,

What a misfortune! What a terrible misfortune for me

Oh Dad,

What a scandal if mom knew that

In Trinidad, in French Antilles over there

In Trinidad, lived a family

The Mama and the Dad and the big eldest son

Who is 40 years old, wasn’t married yet

One day he found the girl he wanted

And said to his father: "I want to marry her."

Alas, my boy, unfortunately you can’t

Because this girl is your sister and your mother doesn’t know

Oh Dad,

What a misfortune! What a terrible misfortune for me

Oh Dad,

What a scandal if mom knew that

In Trinidad, in French Antilles over there

In Trinidad, oh, what a family

Two years passed and one evening the boy

Came to his father and hopeful said,:

"The school teacher wants to marry me"

But the poor father felt overwhelmed:

My son you can’t

You can’t do that

Because this girl is your sister and your mother doesn’t know it!

Oh Dad,

What a misfortune! What a terrible misfortune for me

Oh Dad,

What a scandal if mom knew that

Losing patience,

He ran disgusted

Told his mother all the truth

The mother began laughing and said to him "don’t worry"

Your father isn’t your father

And your father doesn’t know it…

Oh Mama,

What a happiness! What a great happiness for me

Oh Mama,

What a scandal if Dad knew that…
