Lyrics and translation Elvis Costello and The Brodsky Quartet - I Almost Had A Weakness




I Almost Had A Weakness
J'ai failli succomber
Thank you for the flowers
Merci pour les fleurs
I threw them on the fire
Je les ai jetées au feu
And I burned the photographs that you had enclosed
Et j'ai brûlé les photos que tu avais jointes
GOD they were ugly children
Dieu, c'étaient de vilains enfants
So you′re the little bastard of that brother of mine
Alors, tu es le petit bâtard de ce frère à moi
Trying to trick a poor old woman
Qui essaie de bercer une pauvre vieille femme
'Til I almost had a weakness
Jusqu'à ce que j'aie failli succomber
Last week Cousin Florence
La semaine dernière, cousine Florence
Bit your Uncle Joe
A mordu ton oncle Joe
Hit him on the forehead with a knife and a fork
L'a frappé au front avec un couteau et une fourchette
(She) said that he looked like the devil
(Elle) a dit qu'il ressemblait au diable
Then she said... "pass the vinegar," I′m beginning to think
Puis elle a dit... "passe le vinaigre", je commence à penser
(That) I'm the only one who hasn't taken to the drinking of it
(Que) je suis la seule qui n'a pas adopté sa consommation
Though I almost had a weakness
Bien que j'aie failli succomber
It pains me to mention
Cela me peine de mentionner
These delicate concerns
Ces délicats soucis
While I have to tolerate you family jewels
Alors que je dois tolérer tes joyaux de famille
I really mustn′t grumble
Je ne dois vraiment pas me plaindre
(′Cause) when I die the cats and dogs will jump up and down
(Car) quand je mourrai, les chats et les chiens sauteront de haut en bas
And you little swines will get nothing
Et vous, petits cochons, vous ne recevrez rien
Though I almost had a weakness
Bien que j'aie failli succomber
