Lyrics and translation Andrew Lloyd Webber feat. "Cats" 1983 Broadway Cast - Macavity: The Mystery Cat - From "Cats"




Macavity: The Mystery Cat - From "Cats"
Macavity: Le chat mystérieux - Extrait de "Cats"
Macavity's a mystery cat
Macavity est un chat mystérieux
He's called the Hidden Paw
On l'appelle la Patte Cachée
For he's a master criminal who can defy the law
Car c'est un maître criminel qui peut défier la loi
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard
Il est le désarroi de Scotland Yard
The Flying Squad's despair
Le désespoir de la Flying Squad
For when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there!
Car lorsqu'ils arrivent sur les lieux du crime, Macavity n'est pas là !
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
Macavity, Macavity, il n'y a personne comme Macavity
He's broken every human law
Il a brisé toutes les lois humaines
He breaks the law of gravity
Il enfreint la loi de la gravité
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare
Ses pouvoirs de lévitation feraient pâlir un fakir
And when you reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there!
Et lorsque vous arrivez sur les lieux du crime, Macavity n'est pas là !
You may seek him in the basement
Tu peux le chercher au sous-sol
You may look up in the air
Tu peux regarder en l'air
But I tell you once and once again
Mais je te le dis une fois et une bonne fois pour toutes
Macavity's not there!
Macavity n'est pas là !
Macavity's a ginger cat
Macavity est un chat roux
He's very tall and thin
Il est très grand et maigre
You would know him if you saw him for his eyes are sunken in
Tu le reconnaîtrais si tu le voyais, car ses yeux sont enfoncés
His brow is deeply lined in thought
Son front est profondément marqué par la pensée
His head is highly domed
Sa tête est très bombée
His coat is dusty from neglect
Son pelage est poussiéreux à cause du manque d'entretien
His whiskers are uncombed
Ses moustaches sont décoiffées
He sways his head from side to side
Il balance la tête de droite à gauche
With movements like a snake
Avec des mouvements de serpent
And when you think he's half asleep
Et quand tu penses qu'il est à moitié endormi
He's always wide awake!
Il est toujours bien éveillé !
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
Macavity, Macavity, il n'y a personne comme Macavity
For he's a fiend in feline shape
Car c'est un démon sous forme féline
A monster of depravity
Un monstre de dépravation
You may meet him in a by-street
Tu peux le rencontrer dans une ruelle
You may see him in the square
Tu peux le voir sur la place
But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
Mais lorsqu'un crime est découvert, alors Macavity n'est pas là !
He's outwardly respectable
Il est respectable en apparence
I know he cheats at cards
Je sais qu'il triche aux cartes
And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's
Et ses empreintes ne sont pas retrouvées dans les dossiers de Scotland Yard
And when the larder's looted
Et lorsque le garde-manger est pillé
Or the jewel cases rifled
Ou que les coffrets à bijoux sont fouillés
Or when the milk is missing
Ou que le lait a disparu
Or another Peke's been stifled
Ou qu'un autre Pékin est étouffé
Or the greenhouse glass is broken and the trellis past repair
Ou que la vitre de la serre est brisée et que le treillis est irréparable
There's the wonder of the thing:
Voilà la merveille de la chose :
Macavity's not there!
Macavity n'est pas là !
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
Macavity, Macavity, il n'y a personne comme Macavity
He's a fiend in feline shape
C'est un démon sous forme féline
A monster of depravity
Un monstre de dépravation
You may meet him in a by-street
Tu peux le rencontrer dans une ruelle
You may see him in the square
Tu peux le voir sur la place
But when a crime's discovered then Macavity
Mais lorsqu'un crime est découvert, alors Macavity
Macavity
Macavity
Macavity
Macavity
Macavity
Macavity
But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
Mais lorsqu'un crime est découvert, alors Macavity n'est pas là !
