Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

GUILLOT
Holà! Hé! Monsieur l'Hôtelier?
Combien de temps faut-il crier
avant que vous daigniez entendre?

BRÉTIGNY
Nous avons soif!

GUILLOT
Nous avons faim! Holà! Hé!

BRÉTIGNY
Vous moquez-vous de faire attendre?

GUILLOT, BRÉTIGNY
Morbleu! Viendrez-vous à la fin?

GUILLOT
Foi de Guillot Morfontaine!
C'est par trop de cruauté
pour des gens de qualité!

BRÉTIGNY
Il est mort, la chose est certaine.

GUILLOT, puis BRÉTIGNY
Il est mort! Il est mort!

POUSSETTE
Allons, messieurs, point de courroux!

GUILLOT, puis BRÉTIGNY
Que faut-il faire? Que faut-il faire?

GUILLOT
Il n'entend pas!

POUSSETTE, puis JAVOTTE, puis ROSETTE
ensemble
On le rappelle!
On le harcèle!
On le rappelle!

POUSSETTE, JAVOTTE, ROSETTE, GUILLOT et BRÉTIGNY
Voyons, Monsieur l'Hôtelier!
Montrez-vous hospitalier! etc.

POUSSETTE
suivie par les autres
Sauvez-nous de la famine! etc.

JAVOTTE
Ayez pitié!

POUSSETTE, JAVOTTE et ROSETTE
Sauvez-nous de la famine!
Voyons, Monsieur...

BRÉTIGNY
Sinon l'on vous extermine!
Monsieur...

GUILLOT
Soyez donc hospitalier!
Voyons, Monsieur...

LES CINQ ENSEMBLE
Monsieur l'Hôtelier!

BRÉTIGNY
Eh bien! Eh quoi! Pas de réponse?

POUSSETTE, JAVOTTE, ROSETTE, puis GUILLOT
Pas de réponse?

BRÉTIGNY
Il est sourd à notre semonce!

POUSSETTE, JAVOTTE et ROSETTE
Recommençons!

GUILLOT
Pas trop de bruit,
cela redouble l'appétit.

POUSSETTE, JAVOTTE, ROSETTE et BRÉTIGNY
Voyons, Monsieur l'Hôtelier!

LES AUTRES ENSEMBLE
Montrez-vous hospitalier!

GUILLOT
Ah! voilà le coupable!

BRÉTIGNY
Réponds-nous, misérable?

L'HÔTELIER
Moi! vous abandonner?
Je ne dirai qu'un mot:
qu'on serve le dîner!
À ce moment, des marmitons sortent de l'hôtellerie en portant des plats.
Hors-d'œuvres de choix!

English Libretto or Translation:

GUILLOT
Where are you, innkeeper?
How long must we shout
before you deign to listen?

BRÉTIGNY
We're thirsty!

GUILLOT
We're famished! Are you there?

BRÉTIGNY
You think it's a joke to keep us waiting?

GUILLOT, BRÉTIGNY
Confound it! Will you never come?

GUILLOT
On the word of Guillot Morfontaine,
this is fine treatment
for men of our social position!

BRÉTIGNY
He certainly must be dead.

GUILLOT, then BRÉTIGNY
He's dead! He's dead!

POUSSETTE
Come gentlemen, don't get worked up!

GUILLOT, then BRÉTIGNY
What must we do? What must we do?

GUILLOT
He doesn't hear!

POUSSETTE, then JAVOTTE, then ROSETTE
together
We'll call him again!
We'll pester him!
We'll call him again!

POUSSETTE, JAVOTTE, ROSETTE, GUILLOT and BRÉTIGNY
Come now, innkeeper!
Show your hospitality! etc.

POUSSETTE
followed by the others
Save us from dying of hunger! etc.

JAVOTTE
Have pity on us.

POUSSETTE, JAVOTTE and ROSETTE
Save us from dying of hunger!
Come now, Monsieur...

BRÉTIGNY
If you don't we'll kill you!
Monsieur...

GUILLOT
So hospitable!
Come now, Monsieur...

ALL FIVE TOGETHER
Innkeeper!

BRÉTIGNY
Well then, what now? No answer?

POUSSETTE, JAVOTTE, ROSETTE, then GUILLOT
No answer?

BRÉTIGNY
He's deaf to our scolding!

POUSSETTE, JAVOTTE and ROSETTE
Let's start all over again!
GUILLOT
Don't make too much noise,
that makes me twice as hungry.

POUSSETTE, JAVOTTE, ROSETTE and BRÉTIGNY
Come now, innkeeper!

ALL FIVE
Show your hospitality!

GUILLOT
Ah! There's the guilty fellow!

BRÉTIGNY
Answer, you scoundrel!

INNKEEPER
Me! ever fail you?
I'll say only one word:
dinner is served!
At this moment waiters carrying plates come out of the inn.
Choice hors-d'œuvre!
