Lyrics and translation Cab Calloway and His Orchestra - Minnie the Moocher (The Ho De Ho Song)

Minnie the Moocher (The Ho De Ho Song)

Minnie la Clochard (La chanson Ho De Ho)

Folks here's a story 'bout Minnie the Moocher,

Mon chéri, voici l'histoire de Minnie la Clochard,

She was a red hot hoochie coocher,

C'était une danseuse sensuelle et endiablée,

She was the roughest, toughest frail,

Elle était la plus rude, la plus coriace de toutes,

But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale.

Mais Minnie avait un cœur aussi grand qu'une baleine.

Ho-dee ho-dee ho

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi

Hey-dee hey

Whoah

She messed around with a bloke named Smokey.

Elle traînait avec un type appelé Smokey.

She loved him though was cokie,

Elle l'aimait, même s'il était un peu voyou,

He took her down to Chinatown

Il l'a emmenée à Chinatown

And he showed her how to kick the gong around.

Et il lui a montré comment faire vibrer le gong.

Hey-dee hey-dee hey

Oy yoi yoi yoi yoi yoi

Ay yi yi yi yi yi-oh

Whoah

She had a dream about the King of Sweden,

Elle a rêvé du Roi de Suède,

He gave her things that she was needin',

Il lui a donné tout ce dont elle avait besoin,

He gave her a home built of gold and steel,

Il lui a offert une maison en or et en acier,

A diamond car with the platinum wheel.

Une voiture en diamant avec des roues en platine.

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi

Hey-dee hey-dee hey-dee hey-dee hey

He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses,

Il lui a donné sa maison de ville et ses chevaux de course,

Each meal she ate was a dozen courses,

Chaque repas qu'elle prenait comptait une douzaine de plats,

She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes,

Elle avait un million de dollars en pièces de cinq et dix cents,

She sat around and counted them all a million times.

Elle s'asseyait et les comptait un million de fois.

Hi-dee hi-dee hi

Whoah

Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min.

Pauvre Min, pauvre Min, pauvre Min.
