Am I The Fool - Dinah Washingtontranslation in French




Am I The Fool
Suis-je le bouffon
If tears were dollar bills,
Si les larmes étaient des billets de banque,
I'd be a millionaire
Je serais millionnaire
If pain was real estate,
Si la douleur était un bien immobilier,
I'd be Piccadilly Square
Je serais Piccadilly Square
If scars were silver bars,
Si les cicatrices étaient des lingots d'argent,
I'd be the best dressed chick in town
Je serais la fille la mieux habillée de la ville
Am I the fool who's passing for a clown?
Suis-je le bouffon qui passe pour un clown ?
If heartaches were made of silk,
Si les chagrins étaient faits de soie,
I'd be softer than a sigh
Je serais plus douce qu'un soupir
And human kindness milk,
Et la gentillesse humaine du lait,
I'd have the whole world supplied
J'aurais le monde entier en stock
I'm always building up,
Je suis toujours en train de construire,
To what he's always tearing down
Ce qu'il est toujours en train de démolir
Tell me: am I the fool who's passing for a clown?
Dis-moi : suis-je le bouffon qui passe pour un clown ?
Now some experts in love say: "Get evil!"
Maintenant, certains experts en amour disent : "Sois méchante !"
How long can you play a fool?
Combien de temps peux-tu jouer le rôle du bouffon ?
But the clown starts to frown,
Mais le clown commence à froncer les sourcils,
Down in me and says:
Au fond de moi et dit :
"Keep on living, living by the golden rule"
"Continue à vivre, à vivre selon la règle d'or"
So, why should mother fight?
Alors, pourquoi la mère devrait-elle se battre ?
If misery seems to be,
Si la misère semble être,
If troubles seems the height of a sweet stupidity
Si les problèmes semblent être le comble de la bêtise douce
For on some given night
Car une nuit donnée
He just might make it back to be
Il pourrait bien revenir pour être
The fool who's passing for a clown
Le bouffon qui passe pour un clown
