Moi, j'ai dit non [English translation]

A uncle from America, millionaire in dollars

Left his fortune and his ciguarettes

When the notary told me "Sign, please",

The money, mister, there's nothing true /not sure bout the last after the comma/

Me, I said: "No, no, no, no I want to sleep during the night"

I have no other ambition in my life!

A verry little for me, I'm happy like that

It's really very gentle/kind of you, but no, thanks!

One day Santa came laid down in my bed

A type of Marilyn, a happier

When she told me: "Marry me, please,"

"Love, mister, there's nothing true"

Me, I said: "No, no, no, no I want to sleep during the night"

I have no other ambition in my life!

A verry little for me, I'm happy like that

It's really very gentle/kind of you, but no, thanks!

Sat after two days in front of his red telephone

The poor president had the blues

When he told me: "Replace me, please"

The glory mister, there's nothing true,

Me, I said: "No, no, no, no I want to sleep during the night"

I have no other ambition in my life!

A verry little for me, I'm happy like that

It's really very gentle/kind of you, but no, thanks!
