I know a friend who is really nice
He is funny and crazy but when I have worries
I go to find him where he has hidden
I'm sure you know him
He has been traveling a lot for a very long time
He made our mothers and grandparents laugh
He's a good boy but a rascal
And when he arrives we shout his name

It's Guignol, it's Guignol
With his black hat
His big eyebrows and his stick
It's Guignol, it's Guignol
Engraved in the memory
Of little girls and little boys
It's Guignol, it's Guignol
Who hits the policemen
With his companion Gnaffron
It's Guignol, it's Guignol
Who makes us laugh to tears

With his braid and his bow tie
He has children he has a whole family
Money troubles to survive in the city
But he can do everything and does business
Which often make him angry
He lives in a puppet theater
From evening to morning he hits on the head
Of his enemies here and there
But he is with me today

It's Guignol, it's Guignol
With his black hat
His big eyebrows and his stick
It's Guignol, it's Guignol
Engraved in the memory
Of little girls and little boys
It's Guignol, it's Guignol
Who hits the policemen
With his companion Gnaffron
It's Guignol, it's Guignol
Who makes us laugh to tears
With his braid and his bow tie

It's Guignol, it's Guignol
With his black hat
His big eyebrows and his stick
It's Guignol, it's Guignol
Engraved in the memory
Of little girls and little boys
It's Guignol, it's Guignol
Who hits the policemen
With his companion Gnaffron
It's Guignol, it's Guignol
Who makes us laugh to tears
With his braid and his bow tie

It's Guignol, it's Guignol
Who is of all times
The first friend of all children
The children: it's Guignol!
