Hey, baby, oops : young lady,
I swear I won't hit on you,
I am single and since yesterday, damn it,
I cannot have children, but anyway that's not... Hey, come back here!
Just a few minutes, come on, I did not insult you, I have my manners,
and I'm quite a bit plastered and for guys like me
you have other things to do, you could have seen me yesterday2,
when I was

Hey, take a look at yourself, think you're Mr Handsome
just because you got married?!
This is but a ring, man, don't get carried away,
she'll dump you like they always do,
now about the other girl, did you tell her?
I can tell her if you want, that will settle the matter,
and I'll tell the kid too, if you have children,

Why the blush? Come on, come back, boy,

staring at me like I was a monkey, eh?
Sure, you're such a bunch of saints,
you bunch of apes!
Give me a baby monkey, he will be

  • 1. an attempt to render the pun on "formidable" (amazing) and "fort minable" (quite hopeless)
  • 2. in French from France that would be something like "vous pourriez m'avoir vu hier". Maybe that's a Belgian way of saying or maybe the way a drunk could speak

Sorry for the duplicate translation, the other one was completed while I was finishing mine.
At least that's another attempt at rendering the main pun.

Hey!
I'm French and to me this translation is very good. Just a little thing about your second note. He's actually saying "vous m'auriez vu hier" which translates by "you should have seen me yesterday" or something like that...
Anyway, thanks for the translation!
