EN Pipo, you have a nice hat - Pipo t’as un beau chapeau

Verse 1 In a paradise corner, with the sweet name Sablière, Lives a funny fellow, with a spirit light as air. Jean, known as Yann Fanch, with Roseline, his dear, Spreads laughter and songs in the warm summer sphere. Chorus Pipo, you've got a fine hat! People say when they see his stat, On his paddleboard, a proud sailor afloat, Bare under the sky, without a note! Verse 2 By the river, he swims, master of his domain, Paddle beneath his feet, defying the current’s reign. And when the water bores, he pulls out his Rummy Cube, A sharp mind at play, lining numbers in a groove. Musical bridge (gypsy jazz solo) Verse 3 With his old crew, whom he fondly calls the "EHPAD," They remake the world, all smiles beneath the shade. On the beach, grandkids run and play around, A grandpa with no suit, but plenty of tricks abound. Chorus Pipo, you've got a fine hat! His red nose shines in the heat, just that. His scooter speeds, in a joyful flow, With Roseline or his grandkids in tow! Verse 4 Whether in town or in this land so free, Brassens’ tunes echo, carried by his glee. For singing of life, of love, and dear friends, Is the finest attire he proudly defends! Final Chorus Pipo, you've got a fine hat! He laughs, he sings, he shines like that. Naked and free, a proud sailor’s show, Jean, known as Yann Fanch—a true gift to know!
