Le duel


Monsieur Dupont est fort en gueul'.
Monsieur Durand n'est pas bégueul'
Mais l'un et l'autr' possèd'nt à fond
Le bel esprit des traditions !
Monsieur Dupont est avocat,
Monsieur Durand est fonctionnaire.
Ils ont l'air très bien, très bourgeois :
Canne, chapeau melon,
Moustaches légendaires
Mais qu'y a-t-il donc ?
Mais qu'y a-t-il donc ?
Ce soir, m'sieur Durand vocifère
Puis il insulte Monsieur Dupont
Qui lui réplique, autoritaire :
"Nous laverons ça dans le sang, mon ami,
Dans le sang, dans le sang, je vous jure.
Nous laverons ça dans le sang, mon ami,
Dans le sang, dans le sang, je vous dis !"

Ils partirent au petit jour
Dans un paysage d'amour.
Quelques vaches se retournèrent.
Dans le ciel, le soleil rouillé
Luisait et les arbres mouillés
Se racontaient à leur manière :
"C'est Monsieur Dupont, c'est Monsieur Durand
Qui vont vider leur querelle
Et qui brandissent en tremblant
Un revolver ancien modèl'.
C'est Monsieur Dupont, c'est Monsieur Durand
Qui vont se battre, mal à l'aise,
A la française !"

Tous les témoins se réunissent
Avec des figures de jauniss',
Puis ils se font photographier
Par les reporters envoyés !
Un premier plan, très cinéma,
Nous montre les deux duellist's.

Dès l'instant qu'ils lèvent le bras,
Avec un peu de flou
Pour faire plus artiste,
Mais qu'y a-t-il donc ?
Mais qu'y a-t-il donc ?
On dirait que Durand s'énerve.
Comme tremble son pantalon !
Comme il s'agite sans réserve !
"Nous laverons ça dans le sang, mon ami,
Dans le sang, dans le sang, je vous jure.
Nous laverons ça dans le sang, mon ami,
Dans le sang, dans le sang, je vous dis !"

Le coup partit au petit jour
Dans un paysage d'amour.
Quelques vaches se retournèrent
Tandis qu'un perdreau qui passait,
Tournoyant dans le ciel, blessé
Par une balle meurtrière...
Car Monsieur Dupont, car Monsieur Durand
Avaient, pour vider leur querelle,
Tué, dans le bleu firmament,
Un perdreau et deux tourterell's
Qu'ils ont dévoré de leurs belles dents
Au cours d'un repas, très à l'aise,
A la française !

Biografia

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.
