Lyrics and translation Duke Ellington - Sam And Delilah
Delilah
was
a
floozy
Délilah
était
une
coquine
She
never
gave
a
damn
Elle
n'a
jamais
donné
un
sou
Delilah
wasn't
choosy
Délilah
n'était
pas
difficile
Till
she
fell
for
a
swell
buckaroo
Jusqu'à
ce
qu'elle
tombe
amoureuse
d'un
grand
cow-boy
Whose
name
was
Sam
Qui
s'appelait
Sam
Delilah
got
in
action
Délilah
est
passée
à
l'action
Delilah
did
her
"kootch"
Délilah
a
fait
son
"kootch"
She
gave
him
satisfaction
Elle
lui
a
donné
satisfaction
And
he
fell
'neath
her
spell
Et
il
est
tombé
sous
son
charme
With
the
aid
of
love
and
"hootch"
Avec
l'aide
de
l'amour
et
de
la
"hootch"
But
one
day
so
they
tell
us
Mais
un
jour,
comme
on
nous
le
raconte
His
true
wife
he
did
crave
Il
a
désiré
sa
vraie
femme
Delilah
she
got
jealous
Délilah
est
devenue
jalouse
And
she
tracked
him
and
hacked
him
Et
elle
l'a
traqué
et
l'a
haché
And
dug
for
Sam
a
grave
Et
a
creusé
une
tombe
pour
Sam
It's
always
that
way
with
passion
C'est
toujours
comme
ça
avec
la
passion
So,
cowboy,
learn
to
behave
Alors,
cow-boy,
apprends
à
te
tenir
bien
Or
else
you're
liable
to
cash
in
Ou
alors
tu
risques
de
mourir
With
no
tombstone
on
your
grave
Sans
pierre
tombale
sur
ta
tombe
Delilah,
oh,
Delilah
Délilah,
oh,
Délilah
She's
no
babe
in
the
wood
Elle
n'est
pas
une
petite
fille
innocente
Run,
cowboy,
run
a
mile
Cours,
cow-boy,
cours
un
kilomètre
If
you
love
that
kind
of
woman
Si
tu
aimes
ce
genre
de
femme
She'll
do
you
no
good
Elle
ne
te
fera
pas
de
bien
