About this song : It talks about...a song ! About the author : Les Frères Jacques are a vocal quatuor formed after the war. They had a long career, from 1946 to 1982. They were : - André Bellec, the founder and the one who maintained discipline, - his brother Georges Bellec, the funny little guy, - François Soubeyran, was the tallest, and brought stability, - Paul Tourenne, was the tenor, the photograph and the interpret of female role. The fifth member of the group was the pianist : for the first twenty years, Pierre Philippe, and then Hubert Degex, till the group disbanded. They were famous both for their scene play and their costumes, designed by Jean-Denis Malclès. Their two other most famous songs are "la confiture" and "le général castagnetas".

Les paroles, and their approximate translation : C'est
une chanson sans calcium, chantée par un pauvre homme qui a mauvaise mine
C'est une chanson sans calcium, une chanson à la gomme qui manque de vitamine This is a song without calcium, a pointless song who lacks vitamin
This is a song with a virus, a song without tonicity, it is appalling
This is not a fashionable song, it needs fortifying, so much as it’s so pathetic
33,33,33,33,33,33
Les paroles sont squelettiques, la musique rachitique, pas question qu'ça balance The lyrics are skeletal, the music rickety, rhythm is out of question
This is a song without gimmick, completely lymphatic, it’s almost a prescription
This is a song out of date, it’s a kind of lifeless rock, not for the charts
This is an anaemic song for a nursing home, a sad salad
33,33,33,33,33,33
C'est une chanson sans espoir qui raconte l'histoire d'une pauvre infirmière This is a hopeless song that tells the story of a poor nurse
Dying of love for a diminished doctor with and odd behavior
This is a song without exit, that won’t go in the street because it’s disastrous
This is a silly song written by a bacillus for an intravenous injection.
33,33,33,33,33,33
Le seul avantage qu'elle a cette chanson raplapla, il est sur la pochette The only benefit of this dead beat song is on the cover
You take no risk, cut the small sticker on the disk
Cut it carefully, post it immediately, declare that you are sick,
And you will be, believe me, all reimbursed by the social security
33,33,33...33
