Lyrics and translation Danny Kaye - The Ugly Duckling




The Ugly Duckling
Le vilain petit canard
There once was an ugly duckling
Il était une fois un vilain petit canard
With feathers all stubby and brown
Avec des plumes toutes rabougries et brunes
And the other birds said in so many words
Et les autres oiseaux ont dit en quelque sorte
Get out of town
Casse-toi d'ici
Get out, get out, get out of town
Casse-toi, casse-toi, casse-toi d'ici
And he went with a quack and a waddle and a quack
Et il est parti avec un coin-coin et une démarche chaloupée et un coin-coin
In a flurry of eiderdown
Dans une tempête de duvet d'eider
That poor little ugly duckling
Ce pauvre petit vilain canard
Went wandering far and near
S'est mis à errer de long en large
But at every place they said to his face
Mais à chaque endroit, ils lui ont dit à son visage
Now get out, get out, get out of here
Maintenant, casse-toi, casse-toi, casse-toi d'ici
And he went with a quack and a waddle and a quack
Et il est parti avec un coin-coin et une démarche chaloupée et un coin-coin
And a very unhappy tear
Et une larme de tristesse
All through the wintertime he hid himself away
Tout l'hiver, il s'est caché
Ashamed to show his face, afraid of what others might say
Honteux de montrer son visage, craignant ce que les autres pourraient dire
All through the winter in his lonely clump of wheat
Tout l'hiver dans sa touffe de blé solitaire
Till a flock of swans spied him there and very soon agreed
Jusqu'à ce qu'un groupe de cygnes le repère et très vite conviennent
You're a very fine swan indeed!
Tu es un très beau cygne en effet !
A swan? Me a swan? Ah, go on!
Un cygne ? Moi un cygne ? Ah, vas-y !
And he said yes, you're a swan
Et il a dit oui, tu es un cygne
Take a look at yourself in the lake and you'll see
Regarde-toi dans le lac et tu verras
And he looked, and he saw, and he said
Et il a regardé, et il a vu, et il a dit
I am a swan! Wheeeeeeee!
Je suis un cygne ! Wheeeeeeee !
I'm not such an ugly duckling
Je ne suis plus un vilain petit canard
No feathers all stubby and brown
Pas de plumes toutes rabougries et brunes
For in fact these birds in so many words said
Car en fait, ces oiseaux ont dit en quelque sorte
The best in town, the best, the best
Le meilleur de la ville, le meilleur, le meilleur
The best in town
Le meilleur de la ville
Not a quack, not a quack, not a waddle or a quack
Pas un coin-coin, pas un coin-coin, pas une démarche chaloupée ni un coin-coin
But a glide and a whistle and a snowy white back
Mais un glissement et un sifflement et un dos blanc comme neige
And a head so noble and high
Et une tête si noble et si haute
Say who's an ugly duckling?
Dis qui est un vilain petit canard ?
Not I!
Pas moi !
Not I!
Pas moi !
