Laissez-moi Tranquille Lyrics

Pour leur plaire aux femmes
Dites donc
Dites-moi Madame
Qu'ai-je donc
Perfides ou sincères
C'est selon
Quand faut s'en défaire
C'est coton

Avec une gueule pareille
Nom de nom
N' me manqu' aux oreilles
Des pompons
Et si je marchais à
Croupetons
J'aurais tout du pauvre A-
liboron

Laissez-moi
Laissez-moi tranquille
Laissez-moi
Laissez-moi
Laissez-moi tranquille
Laissez-moi

Allez sans esclandre
Mes chatons
Allez vous faire pendre
Allez donc
Ailleurs qu'à mon gilet
À quoi bon
Je n' suis pas le gibet
D' Montfaucon

Laissez-moi
Laissez-moi tranquille
Laissez-moi
Laissez-moi
Laissez-moi tranquille
Laissez-moi

For those of you who speak French: Have a party.

Essentially, it's "Please, leave me be", or "Leave Me Alone".

The problem with translation is that it's not actually French- it's Creole. And without a native speaker to translate, it's very difficult to get the proper meanings. Essentially, though, it pretty much does equal out to "Leave me be." which is a kind of motto for the culture along with the more well known Laissez les bon Temps Rouler (Let the good times roll).

Both are incredibly accurate for Warren, obviously.

Nope. Don't speak any French, but I love the song regardless. Incredible musically, at least.

I went to Google Language tools and tried to trnslate the lyrics. This is what it came up with:

For their appeal to women Say So Tell Me Madam What I do Perfidious or sincres Depending When should it dfaire It is cotton

With a mouth like Name name N 'I miss' ears Pompoms And if I walked Croupetons I have all the A-poor liboron

Let me Leave me alone Let me Let me Leave me alone Let me

Go without scandal My kittens Go hang Go therefore Also that my vest What good I 'm not the gallows D 'Montfaucon

Let me Leave me alone Let me Let me Leave me alone Let me
