Lyrics and translation Ethel Waters - You Can't Do What My Last Man Did




You Can't Do What My Last Man Did
Vous ne pouvez pas faire ce que mon dernier homme a fait
Listen, daddy mine, what do you want of me?
Écoute, mon papa, que veux-tu de moi ?
I've been just as good as can be;
J'ai été aussi bonne que possible, je crois ;
Now the love I had for you has turned to hate;
Maintenant, l'amour que j'avais pour toi s'est transformé en haine ;
You don't appreciate,
Tu n'apprécies pas,
So, Daddy, there's the gate.
Alors, papa, il y a la sortie.
You can't do what my last man did.
Vous ne pouvez pas faire ce que mon dernier homme a fait.
Boss me 'round, and treat me like he did,
Me commander, me traiter comme il l'a fait,
I'm wise to what you'd like to do,
Je sais ce que tu voudrais faire,
So from now on, let me miss you,
Alors dès maintenant, laisse-moi te manquer,
I weep and pine all the time,
Je pleure et je me languis tout le temps,
While you show off with friends of mine!
Pendant que tu te vantes avec mes amis !
My last man tried to drag me down,
Mon dernier homme a essayé de me rabaisser,
But he was one good man to have around;
Mais c'était un homme bien à avoir autour de soi ;
But when the clock on the wall strikes half past three,
Mais quand l'horloge au mur sonne trois heures et demie,
I want all the things you took from me,
Je veux toutes les choses que tu m'as prises,
'Cause you can't do what my last man did.
Parce que tu ne peux pas faire ce que mon dernier homme a fait.
Early this morning, you wanted to fight,
Tôt ce matin, tu voulais te battre,
'Cause you heard I cabareted last night,
Parce que tu as entendu que j'étais au cabaret hier soir,
Tried to take my money, and pawn my flat,
Tu as essayé de prendre mon argent, de mettre mon appartement en gage,
Now you've worn the welcome clean off my mat.
Maintenant, tu as usé le bienvenu sur mon paillasson.
'Cause you can't do what my last man did:
Parce que tu ne peux pas faire ce que mon dernier homme a fait :
Hold me tight, treat me right, every night;
Me tenir fort, me traiter correctement, chaque nuit ;
I'd love you if you only did,
Je t'aimerais si tu le faisais seulement,
Every night, treat me right, hold me tight,
Chaque nuit, traite-moi correctement, serre-moi fort,
You're mighty old to be so bold,
Tu es trop vieux pour être si audacieux,
And I can't stand a man that's cold,
Et je ne supporte pas un homme froid,
Why you can't love me sufficiently,
Pourquoi ne peux-tu pas m'aimer suffisamment,
To make me forget my used-to-be.
Pour me faire oublier mon ex.
He could love like a lover should,
Il pouvait aimer comme un amoureux devrait,
Always could, when he would, he was good,
Toujours pu, quand il voulait, il était bon,
You've lost your nest, go east or west, but go, just go
Tu as perdu ton nid, va à l'est ou à l'ouest, mais va-t'en, va-t'en
Now that last cruel papa, he blacked my eye,
Maintenant, ce dernier papa cruel, il m'a fait un œil au beurre noir,
Then left me alone to sigh and cry,
Puis m'a laissé seul pour soupirer et pleurer,
But you can't do what that last man did.
Mais tu ne peux pas faire ce que ce dernier homme a fait.
