Fernande
Georges Brassens
Fernande
A habit of an old bachelor
I have gotten used
to embellishing my solitude
with the accents of this song
When I think of Fernande
I get excited, I get excited
When I think of Félicie
I get excited too
When I think of Léonore
My God, I get excited again
But when I think of Lulu
There, I don't get excited anymore
Erection, daddy
It's not something you can command
It's this manly refrain
This virile anthem
That resounds in the guardhouse
Of the valiant sentinel
When I think of Fernande
I get excited, I get excited
When I think of Félicie
I get excited too
When I think of Léonore
My God, I get excited again
But when I think of Lulu
There, I don't get excited anymore
Erection, daddy
It's not something you can command
To deceive his blues
To see life less dull
While watching over his lantern
The lighthouse keeper sings like this
When I think of Fernande
I get excited, I get excited
When I think of Félicie
I get excited too
When I think of Léonore
My God, I get excited again
But when I think of Lulu
There, I don't get excited anymore
Erection, daddy
It's not something you can command
After the evening prayer
As he is a little sad
The seminarian sings like this
Kneeling on his prie-dieu
When I think of Fernande
I get excited, I get excited
When I think of Félicie
I get excited too
When I think of Léonore
My God, I get excited again
But when I think of Lulu
There, I don't get excited anymore
Erection, daddy
It's not something you can command
At the Étoile where I had come
To revive the flame
I heard moved to tears
The voice of the unknown soldier
When I think of Fernande
I get excited, I get excited
When I think of Félicie
I get excited too
When I think of Léonore
My God, I get excited again
But when I think of Lulu
There, I don't get excited anymore
Erection, daddy
It's not something you can command
And I will put a final point
To this beneficial song
By suggesting to the solitary one
To make it a national anthem
When I think of Fernande
I get excited, I get excited
When I think of Félicie
I get excited too
When I think of Léonore
My God, I get excited again
But when I think of Lulu
There, I don't get excited anymore
Erection, daddy
It's not something you can command
