1. Un jour le diable fit une java
Qu'avait tout l'air d'une mazurka
Valse à trois temps, il n'savait pas
Ce qu'il venait d'composer là
Aussitôt la terre entière
Par cet air fut enchantée
Des dancings aux cimetières
Tout l'monde la chantait
On la dansait à petits pas
Et bien souvent aux heures des r'pas
Le Diable venait sur sa java
Frapper du pied dans les estomacs
2. Des p'tits malheurs vite commencèrent
Car ce refrain de Lucifer
Planait partout, tout d'suite appris
Circonvenant bien les esprits
Vers la fin du mois d'décembre
Un député pris de court
A la tribune de la Chambre
Dit dans son discours :
"Un, deux, trois, quatre,
Un, deux, trois, quatre,
C'est mon programme est-ce qui'il vous plaît?"
A coup d'fusil on dut l'abattre
Il expira au deuxième couplet
3. La salle Pleyel n'écoutait plus
Des grands concerts un seul lui plut
Celui où l'chef d'orchestre mêla
Sébastien Bach et la java
Ronde folle, ronde folle
Brusquement un grand acteur
Au beau milieu de son rôle
Trahit son auteur...
"Un, deux, trois, quatre,
Un, deux, trois, quatre"
Ah quelle pagaille dans le théâtre
Les spectateurs montèrent sur scène
L'œil en fureur et le geste obscène
4. Au-d'là des mers ce fut bien pire
Le mal gagna c'est trop affreux
Il lui fallait pour son empire
Jusqu'au pôle Nord et la Terre de Feu
Mais le plus terrible ravage
Fut dans l'monde des banquiers
Où la grande java sauvage
Fit des victimes par milliers
"Un, deux, trois, quatre
Un, deux, trois, quatre"
Hurlaient New York et Chicago
L'or se vendit au prix du plâtre
Et le cigare au prix du mégot
Puis un jour tout d'vint tranquille
On n'entendit plus d'java
Dans les champs et dans les villes
Savez-vous pourquoi?
{Coda:}
Parce que le Diable s'aperçut
Qu'il n'touchait pas de droits d'auteur
Tout ça c'était d'l'argent d'foutu
Puisqu'il n'était même pas éditeur
Tout ça c'était d'l'argent d'foutu
Puisqu'il n'était même pas éditeur
{Parlé:}
Allez, remportons notre musique
Et retournons en enfer.
Charles Trenet (Louis Charles Auguste Claude Trenet), born May 18, 1913, in Narbonne and died February 19, 2001, in Créteil, was a highly successful French singer-songwriter. His career began in the 1930s and reached its peak between the late 1930s and the mid-1950s, although it continued until the 1990s. Trenet distinguished himself by writing most of his songs, refusing to record songs composed by other artists during a period when it was rare for singers to write their own material. Among his most famous successes are "La Mer", "Boum!" and "Y'a d'la joie". Trenet helped define the sound of French chanson, influencing generations of artists.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
