Diwar version Malicorne, "Almanach" 1976.

lyrics

Je suis aveugle on me plaint
et moi je plains tout le monde
mes deux yeux ne sont plus pleins
car ils ont perdu leur bombe
dans un malheur comme le mien
tu t’en tu t’en tu t’en moques
la chandelle ne vaut rien

[...]

Je me moque du mercier
et de toutes ses cassettes
je n’use point de papier
encore moins de lunettes
j’ai pour peigne mes dix doigts
mes deux manches pour mouchoir

J’ai mon chien et mon bâton
mes deux compagnons fidèles
l’un me mène à tâtons
l’autre au bout d’une ficelle
n’aimeriez-vous pas bien mieux
ces deux guides que deux yeux

Si jamais me venait un fils
dans cette agréable vie
je prierais bien le bon dieu
aussi la vierge marie
qu’ils lui crèvent les deux yeux
pour en faire un vieux luneux

-----------------

I am blind, they pity me
and I pity everyone
My two eyes are not full anymore
they've lost their round
In my kind of hardship,
you don't care,
a candle is no use

I don't care for the haberdasher
and all their boxes
I don't use paper
and definitely no glasses
my ten fingers are my comb
and my sleeves my handkerchief

I've my dog and my stick
my two loyal companions
one guides me by feel
and the other at the end of a string
Would you not like
these two guides better than two eyes

If I ever had a son
in this pleasant life
I will pray God
and also the virgin Mary
that they'd poke his eyes out
to make him an old blind man
