Pas de boogie woogie [English translation]

The Pope said that the love act

Without being married, is a sin

This news, I must announce it

To my parish : I am a priest

I drank a dose of whisky

To better prepare my sermon

I couldn't sleep all night

I pondered too many questions

At dawn God appeared to me

And gave me the solution

I immediately ran to the church

And spoke to my parishioners on this tone :

"My good brothers, my good sisters

Sing along with me all together :

No boogie woogie before your night prayers!

(Boogie woogie, no boogie woogie !)

Don't do any boogie woogie before your night prayers !

(Boogie woogie, no boogie woogie !)

Now love has become a deadly sin,

Do not provoke your eternal Father !

No boogie woogie before your night prayers !"

Then I asked for silence

To observe the reaction

On the faces of the audience

I could mainly see indignation

But some others, visibly oblivious,

Who clearly did not understand a thing

Asked me to make again

The boogie-woogie sermon

"My good brothers, my good sisters

Sing along with me all together :

No boogie woogie before your night prayers!

(Boogie woogie, no boogie woogie !)

Don't do any boogie woogie before your night prayers !

(Boogie woogie, no boogie woogie !)

Now love has become a deadly sin,

Do not provoke your eternal Father !

No boogie woogie before your night prayers !"

Now everything is done and said

But my parishioners are gone

God, I am now alone in your house

I do look lonely, but what's the point in saying it?

If your Pope made me lose my business

I'll go straight, straight to Hell

But I will try again at the midday mass

The boogie-woogie sermon :

"My good brothers, my good sisters

Sing along with me all together :

No boogie woogie before your night prayers!

(Boogie woogie, no boogie woogie !)

Don't do any boogie woogie before your night prayers !

(Boogie woogie, no boogie woogie !)

Now love has become a deadly sin,

Do not provoke your eternal Father !

No boogie woogie before your night prayers !"
