OtherDave Dance Track of La Bastringue wanted (23) La Bastingue lyrics in French, with translation 31 Dec 12


Lyrics based on those posted at the YouTube video with La Bolduc, along with my translation. (Note: some of the French is informal or slangy, the way you'd say "oughta" or "wanna" in English. E.g., "toé" for "toi," "you")

ELLE:
Monsieur, Monsieur je voudrais danser
oh la bastringue et pis la bastringue!
Monsieur, Monsieur je voudrais danser
la bastringue dans votre café.

LUI:
Venez, venez, j'vas vous faire danser
la bastringue et pis la bastringue,
venez, venez j' vas vous faire danser
la queue d'votre robe vas r'voler.

ELLE:
Avec toé je veux pas danser,
Ah la bastringue, pis la bastringue!
avec toé je veux pas danser,
tu es bien trop excité.

LUI:
Mais dis moi donc t'es pas gênée,
la bastringue, la bastringue,
mais dis moi donc t'es pas gênée
d'vnir m' insulter dans une veillée.

ELLE:
T'as pas besoin de te fâcher,
ah la bastringue et pis la bastringue!
t'as pas besoin de te fâcher,
j'ai fait ça, c'est pour t'étriver.

LUI:
Me voilà donc le cœur brisé,
la bastringue et pis la bastringue,
me voilà donc le cœur brisé
d'la peine que tu m'as donnée.

ELLE:
Viens dans mes bras mon cher André,
oh la bastringue, pis la bastringue!
viens dans mes bras mon cher André,
viens donc je vas t'embrasser.

LUI:
T'as donc un beau bec sucré,
la bastringue, la bastringue,
t'as donc un beau bec sucré.
Je suis prêt à r'commencer.


SHE:
Mister, mister, I'd like to dance
The bastringue, and then the bastringue
Mister, Mister, I want to dance
The bastrignue in your café.

HE:
C'mon, I'll dance with you
la bastringue et pis la bastringue,
C'mon, I'll dance with you
The hem of your dress is going to spin.

SHE:
I don't wanna dance with ya
la bastringue et pis la bastringue,
I don't wanna dance with ya
You're way too worked up.

HE:
So, tell me how come you're not embarrassed
la bastringue et pis la bastringue,
So how come you're not ashamed
To come here and insult me at a party

SHE:
Hey, you don't need to get upset
la bastringue et pis la bastringue,
You don't need to get upset
I just said that to mess with you.
(étriver, to tie cords together, make a bend in rope)

HE:
Well, here I am, broken-hearted
la bastringue et pis la bastringue
Look at me, all broken-hearted
from the trouble you've given me

SHE:
Come to my arms, dear André
la bastringue et pis la bastringue,
C'mere, sweet André
C'mon, I'm going to give you a kiss

HE:
You've got some sweet lips
la bastringue et pis la bastringue
You sure have sweet lips
And I'm ready to start again
