Lyrics and translation Bessie Smith - You've Got to Give Me Some

You've Got to Give Me Some

Tu dois me donner un peu

Loving is the thing I crave

L'amour est ce que je désire

For your love I'll be your slave

Pour ton amour, je serai ton esclave

You gotta give me some, yes give me some

Tu dois me donner un peu, oui donne-moi un peu

Can't you hear me pleading, you gotta give me some

Ne peux-tu pas m'entendre supplier, tu dois me donner un peu

Said mister Jones to old butcher Pete,

M. Jones a dit au vieux boucher Pete,

I want a piece of your good old meat

Je veux un morceau de ta bonne vieille viande

You gotta give me some, oh give me some

Tu dois me donner un peu, oh donne-moi un peu

I crave your round steak, you gotta give me some

J'ai envie de ton steak rond, tu dois me donner un peu

Sweet as candy in a candy shop

Doux comme des bonbons dans une boutique de bonbons

Is just your sweet sweet lollypop

C'est juste ta douce douce sucette

You gotta give me some, please give me some

Tu dois me donner un peu, s'il te plaît donne-moi un peu

I love all day suckers, you gotta give me some

J'adore les sucettes toute la journée, tu dois me donner un peu

To the milkman I heard Mary scream

J'ai entendu Mary crier au laitier

Said she wanted a lots of cream

Elle a dit qu'elle voulait beaucoup de crème

You gotta give me some, oh give me some

Tu dois me donner un peu, oh donne-moi un peu

Catch it when you come sir, you gotta give me some

Attrape-le quand tu viens, mon cher, tu dois me donner un peu

Hear my cryin' on my bended knees

Entends mes pleurs sur mes genoux pliés

If you wanna put my soul at ease

Si tu veux mettre mon âme en paix

You gotta give me some, please give me some

Tu dois me donner un peu, s'il te plaît donne-moi un peu

Can't stand it any longer, you gotta give me some

Je ne peux plus supporter, tu dois me donner un peu

Seeper called to Pele-Mele, sugar lump

Seeper a appelé Pele-Mele, morceau de sucre

Said I'm going crazy about your hump

Il a dit que je deviens folle à cause de ta bosse

You've got to give me some, please give me some

Tu dois me donner un peu, s'il te plaît donne-moi un peu

I can't wait eight days, you gotta give me some

Je ne peux pas attendre huit jours, tu dois me donner un peu

Jaybird said to the peckerwood,

Jaybird a dit au pic-bois,

I like to peck like a pecker should

J'aime picorer comme un pic-bois devrait le faire

But give me some, yes give me some

Mais donne-moi un peu, oui donne-moi un peu

I'm crazy about them worms, you've gotta give me some

Je suis folle de ces vers, tu dois me donner un peu
