You're The Top - Billy Maytranslation in French
At
words
poetic,
I'm
so
pathetic
Pour
ce
qui
est
des
mots
poétiques,
je
suis
si
pathétique
That
I
always
have
found
it
best,
Que
j'ai
toujours
trouvé
préférable,
Instead
of
getting
'em
off
my
chest,
Au
lieu
de
les
faire
sortir
de
ma
poitrine,
To
let
'em
rest
unexpressed.
De
les
laisser
reposer
inexprimés.
I
hate
parading
my
serenading
Je
déteste
parader
ma
sérénade
As
I'll
probably
miss
a
bar,
Car
je
vais
probablement
rater
une
mesure,
But
if
this
ditty
is
not
so
pretty,
Mais
si
cette
chansonnette
n'est
pas
si
jolie,
At
least
it'll
tell
you
how
great
you
are.
Au
moins,
elle
te
dira
à
quel
point
tu
es
génial.
You're
the
top!
You're
the
Colosseum,
Tu
es
au
top
! Tu
es
le
Colisée,
You're
the
top!
You're
the
Louvre
Museum,
Tu
es
au
top
! Tu
es
le
musée
du
Louvre,
You're
a
melody
from
a
symphony
by
Strauss,
Tu
es
une
mélodie
d'une
symphonie
de
Strauss,
You're
a
Bendel
bonnet,
a
Shakespeart
sonnet,
Tu
es
un
chapeau
Bendel,
un
sonnet
de
Shakespeare,
You're
Mickey
Mouse.
Tu
es
Mickey
Mouse.
You're
the
Nile,
You're
the
Tow'r
of
Pisa,

You're
the
smile
on

sourire
de
la
Joconde.
I'm
a
worthless
check,
a
total
wreck,
a
flop,
Je
suis
un
chèque
sans
valeur,
une
épave
totale,
un
flop,
But
if,
Baby,
I'm
the
bottom,
Mais
si,
bébé,
je
suis
le
fond,
You're
the
top!
Tu
es
le
top
!
Your
words
poetic
are
not
pathetic
Tes
mots
poétiques
ne
sont
pas
pathétiques
On
the
other
hand,
boy,
you
shine
D'un
autre
côté,
mon
garçon,
tu
brilles
And
I
can
feel
after
every
line
Et
je
peux
sentir
après
chaque
ligne
A
thrill
divine
down
my
spine.
Un
frisson
divin
le
long
de
ma
colonne
vertébrale.
Now
gifted
humans
like
Vincent
Youmans
Maintenant,
des
humains
doués
comme
Vincent
Youmans
Might
think
that
your
song
is
bad,
Pourraient
penser
que
ta
chanson
est
mauvaise,
But
for
a

who's
just
rehearsin'
Mais
