Lyrics and translation Ethel Waters - Sweet Georgia Brown




Sweet Georgia Brown
Sweet Georgia Brown
She just got here yesterday,
Elle est arrivée hier,
Things are hot here now they say,
Les choses sont chaudes maintenant, on dit,
There's a new gal in town.
Il y a une nouvelle fille en ville.
Gals are jealous, there's no doubt.
Les filles sont jalouses, c'est certain.
All the guys just rave about
Tous les gars ne font que parler d'elle,
Sweet, Sweet Georgia Brown.
Sweet, Sweet Georgia Brown.
And ever since she came, the common folks all claim, say;
Et depuis qu'elle est arrivée, les gens du commun disent, disent ;
No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown.
Aucune fille n'a l'ombre de Sweet Georgia Brown.
Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown.
Deux pieds gauches, mais oh, si élégante est Sweet Georgia Brown.
They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown,
Tous soupirent et veulent mourir pour Sweet Georgia Brown,
I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie (not much!).
Je vais te dire pourquoi, tu sais que je ne mens pas (pas beaucoup!).
It's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town.
On dit qu'elle les tue lorsqu'elle arrive en ville.
Since she came why it's a shame how she's cooled 'em down.
Depuis qu'elle est arrivée, c'est dommage, comme elle les a refroidis.
Fellas that she can't get must be fellas that she ain't met.
Les mecs qu'elle n'arrive pas à avoir doivent être ceux qu'elle n'a pas rencontrés.
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her, Sweet Georgia Brown.
La Géorgie l'a revendiquée, la Géorgie l'a nommée, Sweet Georgia Brown.
All you gals will get the blues,
Vous allez toutes avoir le blues,
All you pals will surely lose.
Vous allez tous sûrement perdre.
And, there's but one excuse.
Et, il n'y a qu'une excuse.
Now I've told you who she was,
Maintenant, je t'ai dit qui elle était,
And I've told you what she does,
Et je t'ai dit ce qu'elle fait,
Still, give this gal her dues.
Néanmoins, donne à cette fille ce qui lui revient.
This pretty maiden's prayer is answered anywhere
La prière de cette jolie jeune fille est exaucée partout
No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown.
Aucune fille n'a l'ombre de Sweet Georgia Brown.
Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown.
Deux pieds gauches, mais oh, si élégante est Sweet Georgia Brown.
They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown,
Tous soupirent et veulent mourir pour Sweet Georgia Brown,
I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie (not much!).
Je vais te dire pourquoi, tu sais que je ne mens pas (pas beaucoup!).
It's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town.
On dit qu'elle les tue lorsqu'elle arrive en ville.
Since she came why it's a shame how she's cooled 'em down.
Depuis qu'elle est arrivée, c'est dommage, comme elle les a refroidis.
Fellas that she can't get must be fellas that she ain't met.
Les mecs qu'elle n'arrive pas à avoir doivent être ceux qu'elle n'a pas rencontrés.
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her, Sweet Georgia Brown.
La Géorgie l'a revendiquée, la Géorgie l'a nommée, Sweet Georgia Brown.
No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown.
Aucune fille n'a l'ombre de Sweet Georgia Brown.
Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown.
Deux pieds gauches, mais oh, si élégante est Sweet Georgia Brown.
They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown,
Tous soupirent et veulent mourir pour Sweet Georgia Brown,
I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie (not much!).
Je vais te dire pourquoi, tu sais que je ne mens pas (pas beaucoup!).
All those tips the porter slips to Sweet Georgia Brown
Tous ces pourboires que le portier glisse à Sweet Georgia Brown
They buy clothes at fashion shows for one dollar down.
Ils achètent des vêtements dans des défilés de mode pour un dollar de dépôt.
Fellas, won'tcha tip your hats. Oh boy, ain't she the cats?
Les gars, vous ne retirerez pas vos chapeaux. Oh mon garçon, n'est-elle pas le chat?
Who's that mister, tain't her sister, It's Sweet Georgia Brown.
Qui est ce monsieur, ce n'est pas sa sœur, c'est Sweet Georgia Brown.
