Lyrics and translation Adelaide Hall - Minnie the Moocher

Minnie the Moocher

Minnie la Clochard

Folks here's a story 'bout Minnie the Moocher,

Mon chéri, voici une histoire sur Minnie la Clochard,

She was a red hot hoochie coocher,

C'était une danseuse de cabaret endiablée,

She was the roughest, toughest frail,

Elle était la plus rude, la plus dure des filles,

But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale.

Mais Minnie avait un cœur aussi grand qu'une baleine.

Ho-dee ho-dee ho

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi

Hey-dee hey

Whoah

She messed around with a bloke named Smokey.

Elle traînait avec un type appelé Smokey.

She loved him though was cokie,

Elle l'aimait, même s'il était un peu crétin,

He took her down to Chinatown

Il l'a emmenée à Chinatown

And he showed her how to kick the gong around.

Et il lui a montré comment taper sur le gong.

Hey-dee hey-dee hey

Oy yoi yoi yoi yoi yoi

Ay yi yi yi yi yi-oh

Whoah

She had a dream about the King of Sweden,

Elle a rêvé du Roi de Suède,

He gave her things that she was needin',

Il lui a donné des choses dont elle avait besoin,

He gave her a home built of gold and steel,

Il lui a donné une maison en or et en acier,

A diamond car with the platinum wheel.

Une voiture de diamant avec des jantes en platine.

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi

Hey-dee hey-dee hey-dee hey-dee hey

He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses,

Il lui a donné son hôtel particulier et ses chevaux de course,

Each meal she ate was a dozen courses,

Chaque repas qu'elle mangeait comportait une douzaine de plats,

She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes,

Elle avait un million de dollars en pièces de cinq cents et de dix cents,

She sat around and counted them all a million times.

Elle s'est assise et les a comptés un million de fois.

Hi-dee hi-dee hi

Whoah

Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min.

Pauvre Min, pauvre Min, pauvre Min.
