Avoir Un Bon Copain

Georges Brassens
HAVING A GOOD BUDDY
Lyrics: Jean Boyer, music: W. Heymann, 1931

Having a good buddy
That's the best thing in the world
Yes, because a good buddy
Is more faithful than a blonde
United hand in hand
At every second
We laugh at our sorrows
When we have a good buddy

It's spring
We are twenty years old
The heart and the engine
Beat happily
Straight ahead
Without knowing where
We rush like crazy
Because today
Everything smiles at us
In a car
We are good among friends
So let's sing
In all tones
The joy of being a boy!

Having a good buddy
That's the best thing in the world
Yes, because a good buddy
Is more faithful than a blonde
United hand in hand
At every second
We laugh at our sorrows
When we have a good buddy
