The Greatness of Mazouni's song "écoute-moi canarade

 

I'm not even sure when this song was recorded, but I adore "écoute-moi canarade.  I just ordered the compilation and it's in the mail.  Still, I think this is a perfect song.  I love the solo trumpet.  You can hear it here: "écoute-moi canarade" by Mazouni

Taz on YouTube translated the lyrics: 

Oh listen to me comradeDrop this girlYou hear meShe will make you sickAnd you will suffer a long timeI know you love himYou gave him your soulI know you love himYou gave him your soulBut she never liked you comradeShe takes advantage of you and you are happyEven his words are coldYou must feel itHoweverLook well in the mirrorAnd think it's importantYou chose a thorny alasIt's not a spring roseI know you love himYou gave him your soulI know you love himYou gave him your soulDo not count on his promises anymoreShe will not love youEven at one hundred yearsShe played you double-facedIt will change every momentHow she took you for a foolBut you find all this is goodDo not tell me no, it's uselessBecause for meYou are a conI know you love himYou gave him your soulI know you love himYou gave him your soulI know you love himYou gave him your soulI know you love himYou gave him your soulBe a little proudLeave her aloneShe's making fun of youCan not you see it?I understand youIt is not easyBecause where are you goingYou shout his nameIt's not for your beautiful eyes, by the wayIf she took your arm in front of peopleYou want to play Romeo and JulietBut she does not thinkWhat has her loversI know you love himYou gave him your soulI know you love himYou gave him your soulYou're getting drunkBecause of a little girlYou who believe you to be intelligentExcuse me reallyYou are stupidIt's not your faultMr. PigeonI beg you oh comradeYou look like you're not hereI know these jokesI have already been thereI know you love himYou gave him your soulI know you love himYou gave him your soulBut who is this comrade?I speak aloneNobody is thereSo it's me the comradeThe poor conAnd here I am
