La mala reputacion [Brassens cover] [English translation]

In my humble town

I have a bad reputation,

Whatever I do doesn't matter,

Everybody considers it wrong.

Well, I don't think I'm causing any harm

Wanting to live apart from the flock

No, people don't like

you to have your own faith

No, people don't like

you to have your own faith

Everybody, everybody looks at me wrong

Except for the blind, naturally.

When it's a national holiday

I'll still stay in bed,

Military music

Has never been known to get me up.

Well, in this world there is no greater sin

Than to not follow the standardbearer.

No, people don't like

you to have your own faith

No, people don't like

you to have your own faith

They all show me the finger,

Except for the amputees, I want to but I can't.

If in the street a thief is running

And a rich man goes after him

I'll trip the man up

And flatten the pursuer

Yes, of course that would be a pain,

I always have to stick my foot out

No, people don't like

you to have your own faith

No, people don't like

you to have your own faith

They all run after me

Except for the lame, I believe.

There's no need to know Latin

I already know what my end will be

In town you'll start to hear,

"Death, death to the vile villain"

So I don't think I'm going to start any trouble

As long as my road doesn't go to Rome

No, people don't like

you to have your own faith

No, people don't like

you to have your own faith

Everybody, everybody looks at me wrong

Except for the blind, naturally.
