Lyrics and translation Fats Waller - Breakin' the Ice
She
was
as
cool
as
could
be,
Elle
était
aussi
froide
que
possible,
Though
I
said
hello
to
her
twice;
Bien
que
je
lui
aie
dit
bonjour
deux
fois
;
Now
I
can
take
her
to
tea,
Maintenant,
je
peux
l'emmener
prendre
le
thé,
Looks
like
I′m
breakin'
the
ice!
On
dirait
que
je
suis
en
train
de
briser
la
glace !
I
call
around
every
day,
J'appelle
tous
les
jours,
And
her
people
treat
me
so
nice!
Et
ses
parents
me
traitent
si
bien !
They
seem
to
think
I′m
okay,
Ils
semblent
penser
que
je
suis
bien,
Looks
like
I'm
breakin'
the
ice!
On
dirait
que
je
suis
en
train
de
briser
la
glace !
Bit
by
bit
Petit
à
petit
I′ve
been
makin′
a
hit,
J'ai
fait
un
carton,
I'm
afraid
everything′s
gonna
be
alright,
(if
you
know
what
I
mean!)
J'ai
peur
que
tout
va
bien
se
passer,
(si
tu
vois
ce
que
je
veux
dire !)
Rome,
they
say,
Rome,
dit-on,
Wasn't
built
in
a
day,
N'a
pas
été
construite
en
un
jour,
Or
romance
built
in
a
night!
(no!)
Ou
la
romance
construite
en
une
nuit !
(non !)
But
we
saw
the
ring
in
the
store,
Mais
on
a
vu
l'alliance
en
magasin,
And
I′m
gonna
save
up
the
price.
Et
je
vais
économiser
le
prix.
I
guess
you
know
what
it's
for,
Je
suppose
que
tu
sais
à
quoi
ça
sert,
Looks
like
I′m
breakin'
the
ice!
On
dirait
que
je
suis
en
train
de
briser
la
glace !
