Lyrics and translation Anita O'Day - Peanut Vendor

Peanut Vendor

Peanuts
Peanuts
If you haven't got bananas, don't be blue
Peanuts in a little bag are calling you
For at the very break of day
A peanuts vendors on his away
Through every city, town, and country lane
You'll hear him sing his plaintive little strain
And the sing goes by to you he'll say peanuts roasted today
Peanuts freshly roasted today
If you're looking for a moral to this song
Fifty million little monkeys can't be wrong

Peanuts, Money, money
Peanuts, Today

Le vendeur d'arachides

Arachides
Arachides
Si tu n'as pas de bananes, ne sois pas triste
Des arachides dans un petit sac t'appellent
Car dès l'aube
Un vendeur d'arachides est en route
À travers chaque ville, chaque village, chaque chemin de campagne
Tu l'entendras chanter sa petite mélodie plaintive
Et en passant, il te dira : "Arachides grillées aujourd'hui"
Arachides fraîchement grillées aujourd'hui
Si tu cherches une morale à cette chanson
Cinquante millions de petits singes ne peuvent pas se tromper

Arachides, argent, argent
Arachides, aujourd'hui
