Dududu dududu... dududu dududu dudu...
Hé, hé, m'sieurs, dames
Si on chantait toute la nuit
Pour rire et faire peur aux ennuis
C'est fête aujourd'hui

Hé, hé, m'sieurs, dames
On va s'balader sur la gamme
Le cœur empli de notes en flammes
Pour chauffer nos âmes

On va chanter, hé, hé, m'sieurs, dames
On va danser, hé, hé, m'sieurs, dames
Chacun se dévoile, ce soir c'est le bal
C'est le carnaval, le carnaval

Dududu dududu... dududu dududu dudu...
Hé, hé, m'sieurs, dames
Dehors dans la nuit qui scintille
Il y a tous les lampions qui brillent
Dans les yeux des filles

Hé, hé, m'sieurs, dames
On a le droit d'être un peu fou
Riez nez-à-nez, joue-à-joue
Moquez-vous de tout

On va chanter, hé, hé, m'sieurs, dames
On va danser, hé, hé, m'sieurs, dames
Faire ce qu'il nous plaît, ce soir c'est le bal
C'est le carnaval, le carnaval

Dududu dududu... dududu dududu dudu...
Hé, hé, m'sieurs, dames
Ce soir l'argent est interdit
On jette la monnaie, les billets
Comme des confettis

Hé, hé, m'sieurs, dames
Finie la peur des lendemains
Et tous pour longtemps on sera bien
La main dans la main

On va chanter, hé, hé, m'sieurs, dames
On va danser, hé, hé, m'sieurs, dames
Vivre enfin not' vie, ce soir c'est le bal
C'est le carnaval, le carnaval

Hé hé, m'sieurs, dames
On va danser, hé hé, m'sieurs, dames
Vivre enfin not' vie, ce soir c'est le bal
C'est le carnaval, le carnaval

Hé hé, m'sieurs, dames
On va danser, hé hé, m'sieurs, dames
Vivre enfin not' vie, ce soir c'est le bal
C'est le carnaval, le carnaval

Dududu dududu dudu...

Dududu dududu... dududu dududu dudu...
Hey, hey, gentlemen, ladies
If we sang the whole night long
To laugh and to scare our cares away
It's party today

Hey, hey, gentlemen, ladies
We go for a walk on the music scale
Our heart filled with notes in flames
To warm up our souls

We'll sing, hey, hey, gentlemen, ladies
We'll dance, hey, hey, gentlemen, ladies
Everyone unveils himself, tonight it's the ball
It's the carnival, the carnival

Dududu dududu... dududu dududu dudu...
Hey, hey, gentlemen, ladies
Outside in the twinkling night
All the lamps are shining
In the eyes of the girls

Hey, hey, gentlemen, ladies
We have the right to be a little crazy
Laugh nose to nose, cheek to cheek
Mock everything

We'll sing, hey, hey, gentlemen, ladies
We'll dance, hey, hey, gentlemen, ladies
Do what pleases us, tonight it's the ball
It's the carnival, the carnival

Dududu dududu... dududu dududu dudu...
Hey, hey, gentlemen, ladies
Tonight money is forbidden
We throw coins and notes
Like confetti

Hey, hey, gentlemen, ladies
The fear for tomorrow is gone
And we'll be feeling good for a long time
Hand in hand

We'll sing, hey, hey, gentlemen, ladies
We'll dance, hey, hey, gentlemen, ladies
Finally we're living our life, tonight it's the ball
It's the carnival, the carnival

Hey hey, gentlemen, ladies
We'll dance, hey hey, gentlemen, ladies
Finally we're living our life, tonight it's the ball
It's the carnival, the carnival

Hey hey, gentlemen, ladies
We'll dance, hey hey, gentlemen, ladies
Finally we're living our life, tonight it's the ball
It's the carnival, the carnival

Dududu dududu dudu...
