La mauvaise réputation (Bad Reputation) - Georges Brassens
In the village, without pretention,
I have a bad reputation.
Whether I make an effort or whether I keep quiet,
I am regarded as a I don’t know what.
Yet I don’t do harm to anyone
Going on my own sweet way.
But the good folk don’t like that
You follow another way than them,
No the good folk don’t like that
You follow another way than them.
Every-one speaks ill of me…
Except for the dumb: that goes without saying.
On the day of the 14th of July,
I keep to my cosy bed.
The marching music,
That doesn’t concern me.
Yet I don’t do harm to anyone,
By not listening to the bugle that sounds.
But the good folk don’t like that
You follow another way than them;
No the good folk don’t like that
You follow another way than them.
Everyone points at me…
Except for those without arms: that goes without saying.
When I run into an unlucky thief,
Chased by cultural chap;
I stick out my foot and why keep it quiet,
The cultural chap finds himself on the ground.
Yet I don’t do harm to anyone
By letting apple thieves have a run.
But the good folk don’t like that
You follow another way than them;
No the good folk don’t like that
You follow another way than them.
Everybody pounces on me…
Except for those without legs: that goes without saying.
No need to be a Jeremiah
To guess the fate that awaits me;
If they find a rope to their liking,
They will put it around my neck.
Yet I don’t do harm to anyone
By following the paths that don’t lead to Rome.
But the good folk don’t like that
You follow another way than them;
No the good folk don’t like that
You follow another way than them.
Everybody will come to see me hanged…
Except for the blind: of course!-
