Lyrics and translation Cab Calloway and His Orchestra - Utt-Da-Zay
My
mother
used
to
sing
to
me
Ma
mère
avait
l'habitude
de
me
chanter
A
haunting
little
melody
Une
petite
mélodie
envoûtante
Nobody
knows
where
it
came
from
Personne
ne
sait
d'où
elle
vient
Or
where
it
was
composed
Ou
où
elle
a
été
composée
"Utt
da
zay",
sings
the
tailor
"Utt
da
zay",
chante
le
tailleur
As
he
fashions
pretty
clothes
Alors
qu'il
confectionne
de
beaux
vêtements
"Utt
da
zay",
sings
the
tailor
"Utt
da
zay",
chante
le
tailleur
As
he
sews,
sews,
sews
Comme
il
coud,
coud,
coud
He's
as
busy
as
a
bee
Il
est
aussi
occupé
qu'une
abeille
Making
lovely
finery
Faire
de
belles
fanfreluches
Things
my
baby
loves
to
wear
Des
choses
que
ma
chérie
aime
porter
When
I
take
her
to
the
fair
Quand
je
l'emmène
à
la
foire
"Utt
da
zay",
sings
the
tailor
"Utt
da
zay",
chante
le
tailleur
All
it
means
is,
"That's
the
way"
Tout
ce
que
cela
signifie,
c'est
"C'est
comme
ça"
When
I
buy
the
things
he
made
her
Quand
j'achète
les
choses
qu'il
lui
a
faites
Says
the
tailor,
"Utt
da
zay"
Dit
le
tailleur,
"Utt
da
zay"
Oh,
do
you
dig,
dig,
dig?
Oh,
est-ce
que
tu
comprends,
comprends,
comprends
?
Do
you
chop,
chop,
chop?
Est-ce
que
tu
coupes,
coupes,
coupes
?
Are
you
hep
to
this
jive
Es-tu
au
courant
de
ce
rythme
That
I'm
laying
to
you?
Que
je
te
fais
écouter
?
