Lyrics and translation Bessie Smith - Summertime

Summertime

L'été

Summertime,

L'été,

And the livin' is easy

Et la vie est facile

Fish are jumpin'

Les poissons sautent

And the cotton is high

Et le coton est haut

Oh, Your daddy's rich

Oh, ton papa est riche

And your ma' is good lookin'

Et ta maman est belle

So hush little baby

Alors tais-toi, petit bébé

Don't you cry

Ne pleure pas

One of these mornings

Un de ces matins

You're going to rise up singing

Tu te réveilleras en chantant

Then you'll spread your wings

Alors tu déploieras tes ailes

And you'll take to the sky

Et tu prendras ton envol

But till that morning

Mais jusqu'à ce matin

There's a'nothing can harm you

Rien ne peut te faire de mal

With daddy and mammy standing by

Avec papa et maman à tes côtés

One of these mornings

Un de ces matins

You're going to rise up singing

Tu te réveilleras en chantant

Then you'll spread your wings

Alors tu déploieras tes ailes

And you'll take to the sky

Et tu prendras ton envol

But till that morning

Mais jusqu'à ce matin

There's a'nothing can harm you

Rien ne peut te faire de mal

With daddy and mammy standing by

Avec papa et maman à tes côtés
