Lyrics and translation Anita O'Day - Take the "A" Train

Take the "A" Train

You must take the "A" train
To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem
If you miss the "A" train
You'll find you've missed the quickest way to Harlem

Hurry, get up now, it's coming
Listen to those rails a'hummin'
All board, get on the "A" train
Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem

Sa veef a deef
Leet doveef an'dassan
Deepandassan day
Doia dey'tn day

Veef sa'va veva dabbadey
Dada deutn'datn deitn deu doo

Hurry, get up now, it's coming
Listen to those rails a'hummin'
All board, get on the "A" train
Soon you will be in Sugar Hill in Harlem

"A" train, "A" train, "A" train

Prends le train "A"

Tu dois prendre le train "A"
Pour aller à Sugar Hill, là-haut dans Harlem
Si tu rates le train "A"
Tu auras manqué le moyen le plus rapide d'aller à Harlem

Dépêche-toi, lève-toi maintenant, il arrive
Écoute ces rails qui bourdonnent
Tous à bord, monte dans le train "A"
Bientôt tu seras à Sugar Hill, dans Harlem

Sa veef a deef
Leet doveef an'dassan
Deepandassan day
Doia dey'tn day

Veef sa'va veva dabbadey
Dada deutn'datn deitn deu doo

Dépêche-toi, lève-toi maintenant, il arrive
Écoute ces rails qui bourdonnent
Tous à bord, monte dans le train "A"
Bientôt tu seras à Sugar Hill, dans Harlem

Train "A", train "A", train "A"
