Le Café [English translation]

To get the day off to a good start

And to wake myself up, I had a coffee:

A spicy, black Arabica.

Then, I put on my coat, and we're off! Let's hit the road.

"Where are you going?" my sweet wife asks,

"Let's grab a coffee, I've just woken up."

I thought, I'm running a little early anyway,

So, I turn around, and have another coffee!

At quarter to eight, the office is still dead

It's a bit boring, to be honest.

But I keep calm; nothing I can't handle.

But, before everyone comes in,

I reckon I've got time for a quick coffee.

So the day gets going, and we all knuckle down

And work right through until coffee time.

My secretary comes in: "I've made it strong, just how you like it!"

Damn. I just had one, but since you already made it...

So, were at a business lunch, next to Sentier

The weather is great, but I'm feeling a little tense.

My colleagues find it funny: "Relax, Rene!" they say

"Here, have a cigar, and a cup of coffee!"

Lunch over, my colleagues are all knackered.

They call a taxi, but I'm crawling up the walls

I do a lap of Paris, and then I spot a coffee bar.

I order a decaf....a re-caffeinated one.

When I get to the office, my secretary goes:

"You're a bit late, you had me worried there!"

I throw her out the window. She was asking for it.

Anyway, I should be getting home...But before that...

Maybe a quick coffee.

Now, I'm waiting for the train, and out of nowhere I get attacked -

An old bag goes: "Do you have the time, please?"

So, I give her a good smack, and dash her on the track.

Then I rush home, and pour myself a...Guess what.

"Daddy! Daddy! I came first in my class!"

What you on about! Get out my face!

Shit, this kid gets on my nerves, man. Oh, and now he's crying!

I shut myself up in the kitchen: I reckon there's a bit of coffee left.

I've been locked in here for fourteen days.

I'm alone in the kitchen, just having a few coffees.

I should really get some sleep. I think police are onto me.

So, I nail the door shut, and make a cup of coffee.
