Lyrics and translation Bessie Smith - At the Christmas Ball - 78rpm Version
Hey
Bessie,
it's
Christmas
here
Hé
Bessie,
c'est
Noël
ici
Yip,
ye!
Ouais,
ouais !
Hooray
for
Christmas
Hourra
pour
Noël
Christmas
comes
but
once
a
year
Noël
n'arrive
qu'une
fois
par
an
And
to
me,
it
brings
good
cheer
Et
pour
moi,
il
apporte
la
bonne
humeur
And
to
everyone
who
likes
wine
and
beer
Et
à
tous
ceux
qui
aiment
le
vin
et
la
bière
Happy
New
Year
is
after
that
La
Bonne
Année
est
après
ça
Happy
I'll
be,
that
is
a
fact
Je
serai
heureuse,
c'est
un
fait
That
is
why
I
like
to
hear
C'est
pourquoi
j'aime
entendre
Folks,
I
say
that
Christmas
is
here
Les
gens,
je
dis
que
Noël
est
là
Christmas
bells
will
ring
real
soon,
even
in
the
afternoon
Les
cloches
de
Noël
sonneront
bientôt,
même
l'après-midi
There'll
be
no
chimes
shall
ring
at
the
Christmas
Ball
Il
n'y
aura
pas
de
carillons
qui
sonneront
au
Bal
de
Noël
Everyone
must
watch
their
step,
or
they
will
lose
their
rep
Tout
le
monde
doit
faire
attention
à
ses
pas,
ou
il
perdra
sa
réputation
Everybody
full
of
fare
at
the
Christmas
Ball
Tout
le
monde
est
plein
de
nourriture
au
Bal
de
Noël
Grab
your
partner
one
an'
all,
keep
on
dancing
'round
the
hall
Prends
ton
partenaire,
tout
le
monde,
continuez
à
danser
autour
de
la
salle
And
there's
no
one
to
fall,
don't
you
dare
to
strut
Et
il
n'y
a
personne
pour
tomber,
n'ose
pas
te
pavaner
If
your
partner
don't
act
fair,
don't
worry
there's
some
more
over
there
Si
ton
partenaire
n'est
pas
juste,
ne
t'inquiète
pas,
il
y
en
a
d'autres
par
là
Seekin'
a
chance
everywhere
at
the
Christmas
Ball
Cherchant
une
chance
partout
au
Bal
de
Noël
