Lyrics and translation Eileen Barton & The New Yorkers - If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd've Baked a Cake
Come
in!
Entrez !
Well,
well,
well.
Look
who's
here.
Eh
bien,
eh
bien,
eh
bien.
Regarde
qui
est
là.
I
haven't
seen
you
in
many
Je
ne
t'ai
pas
vu
depuis
des
années.
A
year.
Une
année.
If
I
knew
you
were
comin'
I'd've
baked
a
cake,
baked
a
cake,
baked
a
cake
Si
j'avais
su
que
tu
venais,
j'aurais
fait
un
gâteau,
fait
un
gâteau,
fait
un
gâteau
If
I
knew
you
were
comin'
I'd've
baked
a
cake
Si
j'avais
su
que
tu
venais,
j'aurais
fait
un
gâteau
Howdya
do,
howdya
do,
howdya
do?
Comment
vas-tu ?
Comment
vas-tu ?
Comment
vas-tu ?
Had
you
dropped
me
a
letter,
I'd
a-hired
a
band,
grandest
band
in
the
land
Si
tu
m'avais
envoyé
une
lettre,
j'aurais
engagé
un
groupe,
le
meilleur
groupe
du
pays
Had
you
dropped
me
a
letter,
I'd
a-hired
a
band
Si
tu
m'avais
envoyé
une
lettre,
j'aurais
engagé
un
groupe
And
spread
the
welcome
mat
for
you
Et
j'aurais
déroulé
le
tapis
rouge
pour
toi.
Oh,
I
don't
know
where
you
came
from
Oh,
je
ne
sais
pas
d'où
tu
viens.
'Cause
I
don't
know
where
you've
been
Parce
que
je
ne
sais
pas
où
tu
as
été.
But
it
really
doesn't
matter
Mais
ça
n'a
vraiment
pas
d'importance.
Grab
a
chair
and
fill
your
platter
Prends
une
chaise
et
remplis
ton
assiette.
And
dig,
dig,
dig
right
in
Et
mange,
mange,
mange
à
ta
faim.
If
I
knew
you
were
comin'
I'd've
baked
a
cake,
hired
a
band,
goodness
sake!
Si
j'avais
su
que
tu
venais,
j'aurais
fait
un
gâteau,
engagé
un
groupe,
bon
sang !
