Bessie Smith - Beale Street Mama - translation of the lyrics into French

Lyrics and translation Bessie Smith - Beale Street Mama




Beale Street Mama
Maman de Beale Street
Jenny Neale
Jenny Neale
Down in Beale
En bas de Beale
Gave her papa the air
A donné à son papa l'air
Left him cold
L'a laissé froid
Got him told
L'a fait savoir
Said she didn't care
A dit qu'elle s'en fichait
Old Joe, her beau
Le vieux Joe, son amoureux
Looked just like he would die
Avait l'air de vouloir mourir
If you was near him
Si tu étais près de lui
You would hear him
Tu l'entendrais
Sob his mournful cry
Sangloter son cri lugubre
Beale Street Papa
Papa de Beale Street
Why don't you come back home?
Pourquoi ne reviens-tu pas à la maison ?
It isn't proper to leave your mama all alone
Ce n'est pas correct de laisser ta maman toute seule
Sometimes I was cruel, that was true
Parfois j'étais cruelle, c'est vrai
But Papa, you know Mama never two-timed you
Mais Papa, tu sais que Maman ne t'a jamais trompé
Boo-hoo, I'm blue
Boo-hoo, je suis bleue
So how come you do me like you do?
Alors pourquoi tu me fais comme tu me fais ?
I'm cryin'
Je pleure
Beale Street Papa, don't mess around with me
Papa de Beale Street, ne joue pas avec moi
There's plenty pettin' that I can get in Tennessee
Il y a plein de câlins que je peux avoir au Tennessee
I'll still get my sweet cooking, constantly
Je continuerai à avoir ma cuisine sucrée, constamment
But not the kind you served to me
Mais pas du genre que tu me servais
So Beale Street Papa, come back home
Alors Papa de Beale Street, reviens à la maison
So how come you do me like you do?
Alors pourquoi tu me fais comme tu me fais ?
I'm cryin'
Je pleure
Beale Street Papa, don't mess around with me
Papa de Beale Street, ne joue pas avec moi
There's plenty pettin' that I can get in Tennessee
Il y a plein de câlins que je peux avoir au Tennessee
I bought a rifle, razor and a knife
J'ai acheté un fusil, un rasoir et un couteau
A postal card can't save my life
Une carte postale ne peut pas me sauver la vie
So Beale Street Papa, come back home
Alors Papa de Beale Street, reviens à la maison
