Lyrics and translation Hoagy Carmichael Trio - The Old Music Master




The Old Music Master
Le vieux maître de la musique
One night long ago by the light of the moon,
Une nuit il y a longtemps, à la lumière de la lune,
An old music master sat composing a tune,
Un vieux maître de la musique était assis en train de composer une mélodie,
His spirit was soaring and his heart full of joy,
Son esprit planait et son cœur était rempli de joie,
When right out of nowhere stepped a little colored boy
Quand tout à coup, un petit garçon noir est apparu
You gotta jump it music master,
Tu dois l'enchaîner, maître de la musique,
You gotta play that rhythm faster
Tu dois jouer ce rythme plus vite
You're never gonna get it played on the Happy Cat Hit Parade
Tu ne seras jamais joué sur le Happy Cat Hit Parade
You better tell your friend Beethoven, and Mister Reginald De Koven
Tu ferais mieux de dire à ton ami Beethoven, et à Monsieur Reginald De Koven
They better do the same as you, Or they're gonna be corny too
Ils feraient mieux de faire pareil que toi, ou ils vont être ringards aussi
Long about nineteen seventeen
Vers mille neuf cent dix-sept
Jazz'll come upon the scene,
Le jazz va arriver sur la scène,
Then about nineteen thirty five,
Puis vers mille neuf cent trente-cinq,
You'll begin to hear swing, Boogie Woogie and Jive
Tu commenceras à entendre le swing, le Boogie Woogie et le Jive
You gotta show that big broadcaster,
Tu dois montrer à ce grand diffuseur,
That you're a solid music master,
Que tu es un maître de la musique solide,
And you'll achieve posterity, that's a bit of advice from me
Et tu atteindras la postérité, c'est un conseil que je te donne
The old music master simply sat there amazed,
Le vieux maître de la musique est simplement resté assis là, étonné,
As wide eyed and open mouthed he gazed, and he gazed,
Les yeux grands ouverts et la bouche entrouverte, il regardait, et il regardait,
How can you be certain little boy, tell me how?
Comment peux-tu en être sûr, petit garçon, dis-moi comment ?
Because I was born, my friend, a hundred years from now
Parce que je suis né, mon ami, il y a cent ans de cela
He hit a chord that rocked the
Il a frappé un accord qui a fait trembler le
Spinet and disappeared in "the infinite,"
Clavecin et a disparu dans "l'infini",
And up until the present day,
Et jusqu'à aujourd'hui,
You can take it from me he's as right as you can be,
Tu peux me croire, il a raison, comme tu peux l'être toi-même,
Everything has happened that-a-way.
Tout s'est passé comme ça.
