Lyrics and translation Eartha Kitt - Chantez-les bas
Down
in
Louisiana,
Louisiana
En
Louisiane,
Louisiane
Land
of
Creole
Sues,
Terre
des
Créoles,
Patois,
Mardi
Gras,
Patois,
Mardi
Gras,
And
romantic
blues.
Et
blues
romantiques.
Once
I
heard
a
lover,
Une
fois
j'ai
entendu
un
amant,
When
work
was
over
Quand
le
travail
était
fini
Strum
a
Creole
croone
Jouer
une
mélodie
créole
To
his
lovey
dovey
À
sa
chérie
Underneath
a
Dixie
Moon.
Sous
la
lune
du
Sud.
I
heard
him
say
just
so:
Je
l'ai
entendu
dire
comme
ça
:
Chantez-les
bas,
Chantez-les
bas,
That
means
in
Creole:
Ça
veut
dire
en
créole
:
Sing
'em
low.
Chante-les
doucement.
I
like
that
pretty
word
J'aime
ce
joli
mot
Chantez-les
bas,
Chantez-les
bas,
She
liked
her
blues
played
sweetly
and
slow
Elle
aimait
ses
blues
joués
doucement
et
lentement
Oh...
Oh...
Chantez-les
bas
Chantez-les
bas
I
can't
forget
that
serenade,
Je
ne
peux
pas
oublier
cette
sérénade,
And
if
you
listen
to
me
Et
si
tu
m'écoutes
Just
for
a
while,
Ne
serait-ce
que
pour
un
instant,
I'll
try
to
sing
for
you
what
he
said:
J'essaierai
de
chanter
pour
toi
ce
qu'il
a
dit
:
Oh
in
the
mornin'
baby
jes'
fore
day,
Oh,
au
matin,
mon
bébé,
juste
avant
le
jour,
In
the
mornin'
jes'
fore
day,
Au
matin,
juste
avant
le
jour,
New
Orleans,
hey,
hey!
La
Nouvelle-Orléans,
hey,
hey !
Oh
in
the
mornin'
baby
jes'
fore
day,
Oh,
au
matin,
mon
bébé,
juste
avant
le
jour,
In
the
mornin'
jes'
fore
day,
Au
matin,
juste
avant
le
jour,
In
the
mornin'
jes'
fore
day,
Au
matin,
juste
avant
le
jour,
I'll
come
to
get
you
and
take
you
away,
Je
viendrai
te
chercher
et
t'emmènerai,
Far,
far
away.
Loin,
loin
d'ici.
Chantez-les
bas,
Chantez-les
bas,
Far,
far
away.
Loin,
loin
d'ici.
Chantez-les
bas
