Lyrics and translation Barbara Cook - The Gentleman Is A Dope
The
gentleman
is
a
dope,
Le
gentleman
est
un
idiot,
A
man
of
many
faults,
Un
homme
plein
de
défauts,
A
clumsy
Joe
Un
Joe
maladroit
Who
wouldn't
know
Qui
ne
saurait
pas
A
rumba
from
a
waltz.
Différencier
une
rumba
d'une
valse.
The
gentleman
is
a
dope
Le
gentleman
est
un
idiot
And
not
my
cup
of
tea;
Et
pas
mon
genre
d'homme;
Why
do
I
get
in
a
dither?
Pourquoi
suis-je
si
agitée?
He
doesn't
belong
to
me!
Il
ne
m'appartient
pas!
The
gentleman
isn't
bright,
Le
gentleman
n'est
pas
brillant,
He
doesn't
know
the
score;
Il
ne
connaît
pas
le
score;
A
cake
will
come,
Un
gâteau
arrive,
He'll
take
a
crumb
Il
prend
une
miette
And
never
ask
for
more!
Et
ne
demande
jamais
plus!
The
gentleman's
eyes
are
blue,
Le
gentleman
a
les
yeux
bleus,
But
little
do
they
see,
Mais
il
voit
peu
de
choses,
Why
am
I
beatin'
my
brains
out?
Pourquoi
me
torture-t-il
ainsi?
He
doesn't
belong
to
me!
Il
ne
m'appartient
pas!
He's
somebody
else's
problem,
C'est
le
problème
de
quelqu'un
d'autre,
She's
welcome
to
the
guy!
Elle
peut
l'avoir!
She'll
never
understand
him
Elle
ne
le
comprendra
jamais
Half
as
well
as
I.
Autant
que
moi.
The
gentleman
is
a
dope,
Le
gentleman
est
un
idiot,
He
isn't
very
smart;
Il
n'est
pas
très
intelligent;
He's
just
a
lug
C'est
juste
un
lourdaud
You'd
like
to
hug
Qu'on
aimerait
serrer
dans
ses
bras
And
hold
against
your
heart.
Et
tenir
contre
son
cœur.
The
gentleman
doesn't
know
Le
gentleman
ne
sait
pas
How
happy
he
could
be,
Combien
il
pourrait
être
heureux,
But
look
at
me
cryin'
my
eyes
out
Mais
regarde-moi
pleurer
à
chaudes
larmes
As
if
he
belonged
to
me;
Comme
s'il
m'appartenait;
He'll
never
belong
to
me!
Il
ne
m'appartiendra
jamais!
The
gentleman
doesn't
know
Le
gentleman
ne
sait
pas
How
happy
he
could
be,
Combien
il
pourrait
être
heureux,
But
look
at
me
cryin'
my
eyes
out
Mais
regarde-moi
pleurer
à
chaudes
larmes
As
if
he
belonged
to
me;
Comme
s'il
m'appartenait;
He'll
never
ever,
Il
ne
m'appartiendra
jamais,
He'll
never
belong
to
me!
Il
ne
m'appartiendra
jamais!
