Lyrics and translation Ella Fitzgerald - Give It Back To The Indians




Give It Back To The Indians
Rends-le aux Indiens
Old Peter Minuet had nothing to lose when he bought the isle of Manhatten
Le vieux Peter Minuet n'avait rien à perdre lorsqu'il a acheté l'île de Manhatten
For twenty-six dollars and a bottle of booze and they threw in the Bronx and Staten
Pour vingt-six dollars et une bouteille de vin, et ils ont ajouté le Bronx et Staten
Pete thought that he had the best of the bargin but the poor red man just grinned,
Pete pensait avoir fait la meilleure affaire, mais le pauvre Indien a simplement souri,
And he grunted "ugh!" meaning okay in his jargon for he knew poor Pete was skinned.
Et il a grogné "ugh!", ce qui veut dire "d'accord" dans son jargon, car il savait que le pauvre Pete était dépouillé.
We've tried to run the city... but the city ran away...
Nous avons essayé de diriger la ville... mais la ville s'est enfuie...
And now Peter Minuet
Et maintenant Peter Minuet
We can't continue it...
On ne peut pas continuer...
Broadway's turning into Coney,
Broadway se transforme en Coney,
Champagne Charlie's drinking gin,
Champagne Charlie boit du gin,
Old New York is new and phony
Le vieux New York est nouveau et faux
Give it back to the Indians!
Rends-le aux Indiens!
Two cents more to smoke a Lucky,
Deux cents de plus pour fumer une Lucky,
Dodging busses keep you thin,
Éviter les bus te garde mince,
Now New York is simply ducky,
Maintenant, New York est tout simplement géniale,
Give it back to the Indians!
Rends-le aux Indiens!
Take all the reds, on the boxes made for soap
Prends tous les rouges, sur les boîtes faites pour le savon
Whites on Fifth Avenue
Les blancs sur la Cinquième Avenue
Blues down in Wall Street losing hope.
Les bleus en bas à Wall Street perdent espoir.
Big bargain today... Chief take it away!
Bonne affaire aujourd'hui... Chef, prends-le!
Come you busted city slickers,
Venez, vous les citadins fauchés,
Better take it on the chin
Mieux vaut prendre ça sur le menton
Father Nick has lost his knickers
Père Nick a perdu son pantalon
Give it back to the Indians!
Rends-le aux Indiens!
Take all the reds, on the boxes made for soap
Prends tous les rouges, sur les boîtes faites pour le savon
Whites on Fifth Avenue
Les blancs sur la Cinquième Avenue
Blues down in Wall Street losing hope.
Les bleus en bas à Wall Street perdent espoir.
Big bargain today... Chief take it away!
Bonne affaire aujourd'hui... Chef, prends-le!
Come you busted city slickers,
Venez, vous les citadins fauchés,
Better take it on the chin
Mieux vaut prendre ça sur le menton
Father Nick has lost his knickers
Père Nick a perdu son pantalon
Give it back to the Indians!
Rends-le aux Indiens!
