Prévert, Jacques: And The Party Continues (Et la fête continue in English)

Portre of Prévert, Jacques

Et la fête continue (French)

Debout devant le zinc

Sur le coup de dix heures

Un grand plombier zingueur

Habillé en dimanche et pourtant c’est lundi

Chante pour lui tout seul

Chante que c’est jeudi

Qu’il n’ira pas en classe

Que la guerre est fini

Et le travail aussi

Que la vie est si belle

Et les filles si jolies

Et titubant devant le zinc

Mais guidé par son fil à plomb

Il s’arrête pile devant le patron

Trois paysans passeront et vous paieront

Puis disparaît dans le soleil

Sans régler les consommations

Disparaît dans le soleil tout en continuant sa chanson.

And The Party Continues (English)

Standing in front of the bar

At the stroke of 10 o’ clock

A great barfly plumber

Dressed for Sunday even though it’s Monday

Sings for himself all alone

Sings that it’s Friday

That he won’t go to class

That the war is over

And work as well

That life is so beautiful

And the girls so pretty

And stumbling in front of the bar

But guided by his plumb-bob

He stops right in front of the bartender

Three peasants will come by and they will pay you

Then disappears into the sun

Without settling up for the check

Disappearing into the sun all the while continuing his song.
