Scandale dans la famille [English translation]

Oh, dad, what a bad luck

Terrible bad luck for me

Oh, dad, what a scandal

If my mum knew that

In Trinidad, over there, in the Antilles

In Trinidad, lived a family

With a mum and dad

And the elder son,

Who is at the age of forty

Was not still married

One day, he found the girl he wanted “to marry”

So, he tells his dad:

“I’d like to marry her”

Alas my boy, alas, you can’t

Because this girl is your sister

And your mum doesn’t know that

Oh dad, what a bad luck

Oh dad, what a scandal

If mum knew that

In Trinidad, over there in the Antilles

In Trinidad, oh oh what a family

Two years passed by and the boy, one evening

Came to his dad and said hopefully,

“the school teacher wants to marry me”

But the poor dad looked overwhelmed

My boy, you can’t

You can’t do that

Because that girl is your sister

And your mum doesn’t know that!

Oh dad, what a bad luck

What a terrible bad luck for me

Oh dad, what a scandal

If mum knew that

Out of patience, he went sickened

He told his mum all the whole truth

His mum laughed

telling him: “don’t worry

Your dad is not your dad

And your dad doesn’t know it”

Oh mum, what a bad luck

Terrible bad luck for me

Oh mum, what a scandal

If dad knew that

Oh mum, what a scandal

If dad knew that
