Lyrics and translation Ella Fitzgerald - I Was Doing Alright
Used
to
lead
a
quiet
existence
J'avais
l'habitude
de
mener
une
existence
tranquille
Always
had
my
piece
of
mind
J'avais
toujours
la
paix
de
l'esprit
Kept
Old
Man
Trouble
at
a
distance
Je
gardais
le
vieux
monsieur
Trouble
à
distance
My
days
were
silver-lined
Mes
journées
étaient
bordées
d'argent
Right
on
top
of
the
world
I
sat
J'étais
au
sommet
du
monde
But
look
at
me
now,
I
don't
know
where
I'm
at
Mais
regarde-moi
maintenant,
je
ne
sais
pas
où
je
suis
I
was
doing
all
right
J'allais
bien
Nothing
but
rainbows
in
my
sky
Rien
que
des
arcs-en-ciel
dans
mon
ciel
I
was
doing
all
right
J'allais
bien
Till
you
came
by.
Avant
que
tu
ne
viennes.
Had
no
cause
to
complain
Je
n'avais
aucune
raison
de
me
plaindre
Life
was
as
sweet
as
apple
pie
La
vie
était
aussi
douce
que
la
tarte
aux
pommes
Never
noticed
the
rain
Je
ne
remarquais
jamais
la
pluie
Till
you
came
by.
Avant
que
tu
ne
viennes.
But
now
whenever
you're
away
Mais
maintenant,
chaque
fois
que
tu
es
absent
Can't
sleep
nights
and
suffer
all
the
day
Je
ne
peux
pas
dormir
la
nuit
et
je
souffre
toute
la
journée
I...
just
sit
and
wonder
Je…
me
contente
de
réfléchir
If
love
isn't
one
big
blunder.
Si
l'amour
n'est
pas
une
grosse
erreur.
But
when
you
hold
me
tight
Mais
quand
tu
me
tiens
serrée
Tingling
all
through...
I
feel
somehow
J'ai
des
picotements
partout…
j'ai
l'impression
que
I
was
doing
all
right
J'allais
bien
But
I'm
doing
better
than
ever
now.
(BREAK)
Mais
je
vais
mieux
que
jamais
maintenant.
(BREAK)
But
now,
whenever
you're
away
Mais
maintenant,
chaque
fois
que
tu
es
absent
Can't
sleep
nights
and
suffer
all
the
day
Je
ne
peux
pas
dormir
la
nuit
et
je
souffre
toute
la
journée
I...
just
sit
and
wonder
Je…
me
contente
de
réfléchir
If
love
isn't
one
big
blunder.
Si
l'amour
n'est
pas
une
grosse
erreur.
But
when
you
hold
me
tight
Mais
quand
tu
me
tiens
serrée
Tinglin'
all
through,
I
feel
somehow
J'ai
des
picotements
partout…
j'ai
l'impression
que
I
was
doing
all
right
J'allais
bien
But
I'm
doing
better
than
ever
now.?
Mais
je
vais
mieux
que
jamais
maintenant.?
