Allan Sherman - One Hippopotami (The Hippopotamus Song) - translation of the lyrics into French




One Hippopotami (The Hippopotamus Song)
Un hippopotame (La chanson de l'hippopotame)
One hippopotami cannot get on a bus
Un hippopotame ne peut pas monter dans un bus
Because one hippopotami is two hippopotamus
Parce qu'un hippopotame, c'est deux hippopotames
And if you have two goose, that makes one geese
Et si tu as deux oies, ça fait une oie
A pair of mouse is mice. A pair of moose is meese
Une paire de souris, c'est des souris. Une paire d'élans, c'est des élans
A paranoia is a bunch of mental blocks
Une paranoïa, c'est un tas de blocages mentaux
And when Ben Casey meets Kildaire, that's called a paradox
Et quand Ben Casey rencontre Kildaire, ça s'appelle un paradoxe
When two minks fall in love, with all their heart and soul
Quand deux visons tombent amoureux, de tout leur cœur et de toute leur âme
You'll find the plural of two minks is one mink stole
Tu trouveras que le pluriel de deux visons, c'est un vol de vison
Singulars and plurals are so different, bless my soul
Le singulier et le pluriel sont si différents, que mon âme soit bénie
Has it ever occurred to you that the plural of "half" is "whole"?
Est-ce que ça t'est déjà arrivé de penser que le pluriel de "la moitié" est "le tout"?
A bunch of tooth is teeth. A group of foot is feet
Un tas de dents, c'est des dents. Un groupe de pieds, c'est des pieds
And two canaries make a pair--they call it a parakeet
Et deux canaris font une paire ils l'appellent un perruche
A paramecium is not a pair
Un paramécie n'est pas une paire
A parallelogram is just a crazy square
Un parallélogramme est juste un carré fou
Nobody knows just what a paraphernalia is
Personne ne sait ce qu'est un attirail
And what is half a pair of scissors, but a single sciz?
Et qu'est-ce qu'une demi-paire de ciseaux, sinon un seul sciz?
With someone you adore, if you should find romance
Avec quelqu'un que tu adores, si tu trouves la romance
You'll pant, and pant once more, and that's a pair of pants!
Tu vas haleter, et haleter encore une fois, et c'est un pantalon!
