Ding Din Dong
Édith Piaf
Ding Din Dong
When he was born, his dad and mom
Hadn't loved each other for a long time
So he came into this world
A bit like a lost child
When you're a kid, it disgusts you
To never laugh with all your heart
So very young, he hit the road
And ran away to find happiness
CHORUS:
Ding Din Dong, let’s sing his pain
Ding Din Dong, let’s sing it loud
He searched in solitude
He also searched in the noise
Used to searching, he kept looking
When he found it, he ran away
Then he loved, she was blonde
She liked him, yeah, but here’s the catch
She was giving it up to everyone
He hit her and then he left
CHORUS
He told himself blondes are fickle
But black hair is more serious
He took a brunette, promised marriage
Thinking this time he’d be happy
After five or six weeks
She was bored at home
Really, he said, I have no luck
She doesn’t even have blonde hair
CHORUS
He didn’t know that women
Don’t like everyday happiness
And the poor boy tortured his soul
But I love her… my God… Oh how I love her
And bitten by jealousy
He didn’t know what to do but moan
Someone’s gonna take her, she’s so pretty
So he wanted to kill her
CHORUS
But she was really faithful
He loved her so much he preferred
To blow his own brains out
He died, and that’s that
If this story makes you laugh
It’s because you didn’t get it
He was looking for happiness, the worst
Is that he found death, oh well…
Ding Din Dong ends his pain
