I Can’t Dance - Allan Shermantranslation in French




I Can’t Dance
Je ne sais pas danser
I can't dance.
Je ne sais pas danser.
I can't dance.
Je ne sais pas danser.
Besides, I'm two feet shorter than the girls are.
En plus, je suis deux pieds plus petit que les filles.
All these dancing parties are just plain dumb.
Tous ces bals sont vraiment stupides.
When they asked, I should have said, "I can't come."
Quand ils m'ont demandé, j'aurais dire : "Je ne peux pas venir."
There's a girl with braces,
Il y a une fille avec des accolades,
Standing by the punch bowl and she's making funny faces.
Debout près du punch et elle fait des grimaces.
I guess she wants to dance.
Je pense qu'elle veut danser.
I can't dance.
Je ne sais pas danser.
I can't dance.
Je ne sais pas danser.
Besides I look so awful in these braces.
En plus, j'ai l'air horrible avec ces accolades.
If that boy wants me to dance, I'll just die.
Si ce garçon veut que je danse, je vais mourir.
I'm so tall, and he's about three feet high.
Je suis si grand, et il est à peu près trois pieds de haut.
Ever since September,
Depuis septembre,
I've been taking dancing lessons, now I can't remember
Je prends des cours de danse, maintenant je ne me souviens plus
How the heck to dance.
Comment diable danser.
Pardon me.
Excusez-moi.
My name's Jeff.
Je m'appelle Jeff.
And I don't mind if you are tall and skinny.
Et je ne me soucie pas si tu es grande et mince.
And those braces on your teeth,
Et ces accolades sur tes dents,
They're real neat.
Elles sont vraiment jolies.
Thank you for the compliment, Gee you're sweet.
Merci pour le compliment, tu es vraiment douce.
Your name is Carlotta.
Ton nom est Carlotta.
I met you last summer when we went to Camp Granada.
Je t'ai rencontrée l'été dernier quand on est allés au camp Granada.
We oughta try to dance.
On devrait essayer de danser.
Right foot first.
Pied droit d'abord.
Left foot next.
Pied gauche ensuite.
I think you're 'sposed to do it to the music.
Je pense que tu es censée le faire sur la musique.
You don't really look so bad, just your ears.
Tu n'as pas vraiment l'air si mal, juste tes oreilles.
When do you take your braces off?
Quand enlèves-tu tes accolades ?
Four more years.
Dans quatre ans.
By the time your teeth are ready,
Quand tes dents seront prêtes,
I'll be two feet taller, and I'll ask you to go steady.
Je serai deux pieds plus grand et je te demanderai de sortir avec moi.
Then we'll dance.
Alors on dansera.
