Lyrics and translation Ella Fitzgerald - Lorelei




Lorelei
Lorelei
Back in the days of knights in armor
Au temps des chevaliers en armure
There once lived a lovely charmer
Il y avait une charmante demoiselle
Swimming in the Rhine
Nageant dans le Rhin
Her figure was divine
Sa silhouette était divine
She had a yen for all the sailors
Elle avait un faible pour tous les marins
Fishermen and gobs and whalers
Pêcheurs et gosses et baleiniers
She had a most immoral eye
Elle avait un regard des plus immoraux
They called her Lorelei
On l'appelait Lorelei
She created quite a stir
Elle a créé tout un remue-ménage
And I want to be like her
Et je veux être comme elle
I want to be like that gal on the river
Je veux être comme cette fille sur la rivière
Who sang her song to the ships passing by
Qui chantait sa chanson aux navires qui passaient
She had the goods and how she could deliver
Elle avait les marchandises et comme elle savait les livrer
The Lorelei
La Lorelei
She used to love in a strange kind of fashion
Elle aimait d'une manière particulière
With lots of hey-ho-de-ho-hi-de-hi
Avec beaucoup de hey-ho-de-ho-hi-de-hi
And I can guarantee I'm full of passion
Et je peux te garantir que je suis pleine de passion
Like the Lorelei
Comme la Lorelei
I'm treacherous, yeah-yeah
Je suis perfide, oui-oui
Oh, I just can't hold myself in check
Oh, je ne peux tout simplement pas me contrôler
I'm lecherous, yeah-yeah
Je suis lubrique, oui-oui
I want to bite my initials on a sailor's neck
Je veux mordre mes initiales sur le cou d'un marin
Each affair has a kick and a wallop
Chaque liaison a un coup de pied et un coup de poing
For what they crave, I can always supply
Pour ce qu'ils désirent, je peux toujours fournir
I want to be just like that other trollop
Je veux être comme cette autre fille facile
The Lorelei
La Lorelei
I want to be just like that other trollop
Je veux être comme cette autre fille facile
The Lorelei
La Lorelei
