Lyrics and translation Anita O'Day - Thanks for the Memory
Thanks for the Memory
Merci pour le souvenir
Thanks
for
the
memory
Merci
pour
le
souvenir
Of
sentimental
verse,
De
ces
vers
sentimentaux,
Nothing
in
my
purse,
Rien
dans
mon
porte-monnaie,
And
chuckles
Et
des
rires
When
the
preacher
said
Quand
le
prêtre
a
dit
For
better
or
for
worse,
Pour
le
meilleur
ou
pour
le
pire,
How
lovely
it
was.
Comme
c'était
beau.
Thanks
for
the
memory
Merci
pour
le
souvenir
Of
Schubert's
Serenade,
De
la
Sérénade
de
Schubert,
Little
things
of
jade
Petites
choses
en
jade
And
traffic
jams
Et
embouteillages
And
anagrams
Et
anagrammes
And
bills
we
never
paid,
Et
factures
que
nous
n'avons
jamais
payées,
How
lovely
it
was.
Comme
c'était
beau.
We
who
could
laugh
over
big
things
Nous
qui
pouvions
rire
des
grandes
choses
Were
parted
by
only
a
slight
thing.
Nous
étions
séparés
par
une
petite
chose.
I
wonder
if
we
did
the
right
thing,
Je
me
demande
si
nous
avons
fait
la
bonne
chose,
Oh,
well,
that's
life,
I
guess,
Oh,
eh
bien,
c'est
la
vie,
je
suppose,
I
love
your
dress.
J'aime
ta
robe.
Thanks
for
the
memory
Merci
pour
le
souvenir
Of
faults
that
you
forgave,
Des
fautes
que
tu
as
pardonnées,
Of
rainbows
on
a
wave,
D'arcs-en-ciel
sur
une
vague,
And
stockings
in
the
basin
Et
des
bas
dans
le
lavabo
When
a
fellow
needs
a
shave,
Quand
un
homme
a
besoin
de
se
raser,
Thank
you
so
much.
Merci
beaucoup.
Thanks
for
the
memory
Merci
pour
le
souvenir
Of
tinkling
temple
bells,
Des
cloches
du
temple
qui
tintent,
Alma
mater
yells
Les
cris
de
l'Alma
Mater
And
Cuban
rum
Et
le
rhum
cubain
And
towels
from
Et
les
serviettes
The
very
best
hotels,
Des
meilleurs
hôtels,
Oh
how
lovely
it
was.
Oh,
comme
c'était
beau.
Thanks
for
the
memory
Merci
pour
le
souvenir
Of
cushions
on
the
floor,
Des
coussins
sur
le
sol,
Hash
with
Dinty
Moore,
Hash
avec
Dinty
Moore,
That
pair
of
gay
pajamas
Ce
pyjama
amusant
That
you
bought
Que
tu
as
acheté
And
never
wore.
Et
que
tu
n'as
jamais
porté.
We
said
goodbye
with
a
highball,
Nous
avons
dit
au
revoir
avec
un
highball,
Then
I
got
as
high
as
a
steeple,
Puis
je
suis
monté
aussi
haut
qu'un
clocher,
But
we
were
intelligent
people,
Mais
nous
étions
des
gens
intelligents,
No
tears,
no
fuss,
Pas
de
larmes,
pas
de
chichi,
Hooray
for
us.
Vive
nous.
Strictly
entire
nous,
Strictement
toute
notre
intelligence,
Darling,
how
are
you?
Chéri,
comment
vas-tu
?
And
how
are
all
Et
comment
vont
Those
little
dreams
Tous
ces
petits
rêves
That
never
did
come
true?
Qui
ne
se
sont
jamais
réalisés
?
Awfully
glad
I
met
you,
Je
suis
très
heureux
de
t'avoir
rencontrée,
Cheerio
and
toodle-oo
Cheerio
et
toodle-oo
Thank
you
so
much.
Merci
beaucoup.
