Johnny Monfarleau Lyrics by Tri Yann

An Naoned

1972

Messieurs et Mesdames
Veuillez m'excuser si par un coup de théâtre
Je suis mal habillé ou si mal vêtu
Je n'ai point d'argent pour payer
[Refrain]
Fa di dou daille, Fa di dou dai
Fa di dou daille di dou daille da dai
Fa di dou daille, Fa di dou dai
Fa di dou daille di dou dai
Fa di dou daille, Fa di dou dai
Fa di dou dailledi dou daille da dai
Fa di dou daille, Fa di dou dai
Fa di dou daille di dou dai
Johnny Monfarleau passait dans la rue
Avec une punaise qu'était grosse comme un veau
Il a pris sa peau pour en faire un capot:
Hourrah! Pour Johnny Monfarleau...
[Refrain]
Avec sa viande, ainsi que ses os
Je me suis décidé de faire un tricot
J'ai tout invité: les parents, les amis
Ainsi que Johnny Monfarleau...
[Refrain]
Je l'ai vu à Gaspé se promener
Ce pauvre vieux en char à bœufs
Sa jupe de côté, sa ceinture percée:
Hourrah! Pour Johnny Monfarleau!
[Refrain]
Quand j’étais tout p'tit gars, à la messe du Cap Chat
Il me menait à l'église avec sa jument grise
Sa vieille carriole de peau de popiau
Hourrah! Pour Johnny Monfarleau!
[Refrain]
Depuis le mois d'octobre, puis dans les forêts
En costume de bain garni en peau de lapin
Avec sa vieille couverte tricotée au crochet
Hourrah! Pour Johnny Monfarleau!
[Refrain]
Je l'ai vu allant par de-ci, par là
Il se promène en pyjama
Sa veste de castor traînant sur le traineau
Hourrah! Pour Johnny Monfarleau!
[Refrain]
