有人说那法国人淘气，

They say the French are naughty

有人说那法国人特坏，

They say the French are bad

异口同声断定：法国人将变疯子。

They all declare that over there

法国有个传统：历来就欢欣雀跃，

The French are going mad.

我刚从巴黎凯旋，

They have a reputation of being very gay

请让我说几句：

I just got back from Paris, and I just want to say:

他们说parley-vee 和 parley-vou

When they go parley-vee and parley-vou,

这给我，这给你，

This for me, zat for you,

五千万法国人不会错。

Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong.

当他们Ohh la la la la la la la

When they go Ohh la la la la la la la

嚷嚷走在大街上，

On the bully boulevard

五千万法国人不会错。

Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong.

他们握握手，

They shake-a the hand

他们颠颠脚，

They shake-a the feet

大街上他们坐着边眨眼边喝咖啡。

They roll ze eyes and kiss cafe right on the street

尽管爱尔兰人、荷兰人，

Even though the Irish and the Dutch

常说这不过是小意思，

Say it don't amount to much

五千万法国人不会错。

Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong.

所有的时装来源于Par-ee，

All of our fashions come from gay Par-ee

假如今年流行超短裙，

And if they come above the knee

五千万法国人不会错。

Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong.

假如他们引领时尚新潮流，

And if they give the world a new design

来表现佳人婷婷玉立，

To prove a lady has a spine

五千万法国人不会错。

Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong.

他们这里剪一剪，

They shorten them here,

他们那儿裁一裁，

They shorten them there,

如果明星叫泰迪，他们发明泰迪款。

And if her name is Teddy, they make Teddy bare.

假如他们又发明了新创意，

If they prefer to see their women dressed 

雍容装、清凉装，清凉再清凉，

With more or less of less and less,

五千万法国人不会错。

Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong.

每当他们演新剧，场场爆满，

When they put on a show, and it's a hit

没必要费尽心机去审查，

No one tries to censor it

五千万法国人不会错。

Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong.

每当他们出新书，本本畅销，

And when a book is selling at it's best

不会勒停，不会遭禁，

It isn't stopped; it's not suppressed.

五千万法国人不会错。

Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong.

每当他们口渴，

Whenever they're dry

就喝白兰地、波旁酒，

For brandy or rye,

要喝到那酒，他们右眼都不用眨一眨。

To get it, they don't have to give up their right eye.

当我们夸耀我们拥有的自由，

And when we brag about our liberty

他们笑你，笑我，笑痛肚肠，

And they laugh at you and you and you and me

五千万法国人不会错。

Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong.

法兰西万岁，

In Viva la France

法国崇尚浪漫主义[2]，

They're full of romance

即便遇上警察，警裤上刺绣也灿烂。

You'll find policemen with embroidery on their pants.

每当他们高唱“马赛曲”[3]，

And when they start to sing the Marseillaise

可以唱出四十种不同味儿，

They sing it forty different ways

五千万法国人不会错。

Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong.
