Anita O'Day - Thanks for the Memory - translation of the lyrics into French

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,
Merci,
Thank you so much.
Merci beaucoup.
