Lyrics and translation Billie Holiday - Summertime (78rpm Version)

Summertime (78rpm Version)

Summertime (Version 78rpm)

Summertime

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 en hauteur

Oh your daddy's rich

Oh ton père est riche

And your ma is good lookin'

Et ta mère est belle

So hush little baby

Alors tais-toi petit bébé

Don't you cry

Ne pleure pas

One of these mornin's

Un de ces matins

You're goin' to rise up singin'

Tu vas te lever en chantant

Yes you'll spread your wings

Oui tu déploieras tes ailes

And you'll take to the sky

Et tu t'élèveras vers le ciel

But til' that mornin'

Mais jusqu'à ce matin

Theres nothin' can harm you

Rien ne peut te faire de mal

With daddy and mammy

Avec papa et maman

Standin' by

Qui veillent sur toi

Summertime

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 en hauteur

Oh your daddy's rich

Oh ton père est riche

And you ma is good lookin'

Et ta mère est belle

So hush little baby

Alors tais-toi petit bébé

Don't you cry

Ne pleure pas
