Un singe en hiver [English translation]

I re-entered Indochina yesterday morning

I took back dahlias and jasmine

I left there my youth and my bike

I re-entered Indochina

On the slope of Ho-Chi-Minh I would have danced

In honour of Vietminh I would have smoked

I re-entered Indochina yesterday morning

I took back dahlias and jasmine

Bob Morane stretched out

Brigitte Béjot heard

Oh, oh, oh

Here a monkey in winter

Oh, oh, oh

I hear more helicopters

I re-entered Indochina and I found

A life far too easy, so stupid I'd die

I put down my dahlias and my jasmine

I re-left, I said hello and I am going to see further

Further is always the Indo that I found

Everywhere it's the Indo my life there we know

And since I go out every night,

I leave a dahlia at the foot of our lives

Oh, oh, oh

Here a monkey in winter

Oh, oh, oh

I hear more helicopters
