Mon vieux Lucien [English translation]

What chance you have

of having, Lucien,

an old boyfriend

like me.

Me, you know me.

I love laughing

and have some fun,

not true?

Then this evening,

History of laughter, and

you can believe me

without thinking,

just as to see

and without preventing

I said to the buddies:

"We are going to Lucien."

What chance you have

of having, Lucien,

an old boyfriend

like me.

You can boast,

when I think about it,

to have the chance,

you know!

But you do not say anything.

you let me speak.

I know you well.

you make me walk.

I can't do it

You can go there,

but now, it is OK

tell me why

you look so sullen

like this?

But ... look at me ...

you have swollen eyes.

Did I wake up you?

Ah no! You were writing to your sweetheart...

What is this that you hide there?

There ... in your drawer ...

Eh well, what, Show it

...

You wanted to scare me ?! ...

Ah ... Ha! you are funnyman!

What chance you have

of having, Lucien,

an old boyfriend

like me.

but I know you

better than anyone.

It is this which surprised you,

not true?

Another that I

do not understand

but i guessed that

you tease me

you want perhaps to finish

your letter ...

I am going to say to the buddies,

and then, you will join us...

What chance you have.

This is not to say that I like

laughing

believe me!

Another one but not me

would walk

to your cine.

Not me!

Go, goodbye.

see you later

don't worry, sacred prankster!

Ah no! Of course I am not afraid!

no danger for you

to see you a day

suffer and die

of love

... Lucien ! ...

Well what, Lucien ! ...

Give me that you have in hand!

Ah! This pleasant you, to be your boyfriend!

Ah no, Lucien!

Come on...

Come ! ...
