Nous avons une mansarde au quatrième sous les toits et la lune nous regarde et nous éclaire à la fois.

    Hello,
    Here are the lyrics:

    There are rich folks, who act all smart
    Spending their dough
    From their villa on the Riviera
    They make a big deal out of it
    But we are just workers
    We have to work all day long
    And to come back home to a boarding house
    In an old suburb of Paris

    Chorus
    And we have only a garret
    On the sixth under the roofs (tagadagada)
    And the moon looks at us
    And shines on us at the same time
    This beam of moonlight
    That caresses us to sleep
    It's worth more than a fortune
    And it's more beautiful than a castle

    There’s no carpet to jump out of bed
    But old newspapers on the floor
    The washbasin is just an old bucket
    Cracked from bottom to top
    And running water is the gutter for us
    On rainy days, we wash a bit
    And to go up there’s no elevator
    We are still at the height

    Chorus

    One day will come when we will have
    Our little cabin in the countryside
    To live happily when we are old
    In a corner of the suburbs
    And our pleasure will be like many
    Staying home and picking cabbages
    But in the meantime this promising garden
    At the window, there are flowers

    Chorus

    Thank you for your response. I have indeed heard the music, but there are no lyrics. And it is the lyrics that I am looking for. I would be very grateful if you could provide me with the lyrics to the song: "Nous n'avons qu'une mansarde." Thank you and see you soon.

    Thank you if you can provide them to me. Jeanine MEYER.
