Translation of Les Balloches from French to English
One evening when I was on stage
A group of young fools
Held obscene talks to me
So that I make a song out of it
There's no question about it
Show us your balls, Patoche
Show us your balls, Patoche
Show us your balls, Patoche
It's a national pride, show us your ba-balls
Show us your balls, Patoche
Show us your balls, Patoche
I am shocked
I am outraged
How can one to this extent
Disrespect me?
How can one imagine
That people could listen to this
And even more imagine
That people could sing this
Show us your balls, Patoche
Show us your balls, Patoche
Show us your balls, Patoche
And even if it causes a scandal, show us your ba-balls
Show us your balls, Patoche
Show us your balls, Patoche
I am shocked
I am hurt
How can one to this extent
Attack my pride?
The only thing missing would be at the parade
On the fourteenth of July
A military band
Playing this on the Champs-Elysées
Patoche
Patoche
Patoche
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, Patoche
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, Patoche
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, Patoche
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la
And that the foreign legion cheerfully sings this refrain
And that even the president sings it clapping his hands
Show us your balls, Patoche
Show us your balls, Patoche
Show us your balls, Patoche
Show us your balls, Patoche
Show us your balls, Patoche
Show us your balls, Patoche
Show us your balls, Patoche
Show us your balls, Patoche
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, Patoche
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, Patoche
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, Patoche
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, Patoche
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, Patoche
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, Patoche
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la
Patoche, Patoche, Patoche, Patoche, Patoche
