Mack the Knife (Live At the Golden Nugget, Las Vegas/1987)
Mack the Knife (Live At the Golden Nugget, Las Vegas/1987)
Hey,
the
shark
has
pretty
teeth,
dear
Hé,
le
requin
a
de
jolies
dents,
chérie
And
it
shows
them
pearly
white
Et
il
les
montre,
d'un
blanc
nacré
Just
a
jackknife
has
Mac
Heath,
dear
Mac
Heath
n'a
qu'un
couteau
à
cran
d'arrêt,
chérie
And
he
keeps
it,
way
out
of
sight
Et
il
le
garde
bien
caché
When
that
shark
bites
with
his
teeth,
dear
Quand
le
requin
mord
avec
ses
dents,
chérie
Scarlet
billows
they
begin
to
spread
Des
vagues
écarlates
commencent
à
se
répandre
Fancy
white
gloves,
has
Mac
Heath,
dear
Mac
Heath
a
des
gants
blancs
élégants,
chérie
So
there's
never,
never
a
trace
of
red
Il
n'y
a
donc
jamais,
jamais
de
trace
de
rouge
On
the
sidewalk,
one
Sunday
morning
Sur
le
trottoir,
un
dimanche
matin
Lies
a
body,
oozing'
life
Gît
un
corps,
qui
suinte
la
vie
Someone's
sneaking',
'round
that
corner
Quelqu'un
se
faufile,
dans
ce
coin
Could
that
someone
perhaps
per
chance
be
Mack
the
Knife?
Est-ce
que
ce
quelqu'un
pourrait
être,
par
hasard,
Mack
le
couteau ?
From
the
tugboat,
on
a
river
going
slow
Du
remorqueur,
sur
une
rivière
qui
coule
lentement
A
cement
bag's
dropping
down
Un
sac
de
ciment
est
en
train
de
tomber
You
know,
that
cement
is
for
the
weight,
dear
Tu
sais,
ce
ciment
est
pour
le
poids,
chérie
You
can
make
a
large
bet
that
bums
in
town
Tu
peux
parier
gros
que
les
clochards
en
ville
(Yeah
he's
in
town)
(Ouais,
il
est
en
ville)
My
man
Louie
Miller
Mon
homme
Louie
Miller
He
split
the
scene
babe
Il
a
décampé,
bébé
After
drawing'
out
all
the
bread
from
his
stash
Après
avoir
vidé
toute
la
monnaie
de
sa
cachette
Now
Mac
Heath
spends
like
a
sailor
Maintenant,
Mac
Heath
dépense
comme
un
marin
Do
you
suppose
this
guy
he
did
something
rash?
Penses-tu
que
ce
type
a
fait
quelque
chose
de
risqué ?
Old
Satchmo,
Louie
Armstrong,
Bobby
Daron
Le
vieux
Satchmo,
Louie
Armstrong,
Bobby
Daron
They
did
this
song
nice,
Lady
Ella
too
Ils
ont
chanté
cette
chanson
comme
il
faut,
Lady
Ella
aussi
They
all
sang
it,
with
so
much
feeling
Ils
l'ont
tous
chantée,
avec
tant
de
sentiment
That
old
blue
eyes
here
ain't
gonna
add
anything
new
Ce
vieux
bleu
des
yeux
n'a
rien
de
nouveau
à
ajouter
(Oh
yes
you
do)
(Oh
si,
tu
en
as)
But
with
this
big,
fat,
band
jumping
behind
me
Mais
avec
ce
gros,
gros,
band
qui
saute
derrière
moi
Swinging
hard
Jack
Swingant
fort,
Jack
(That's
Jimmy)
(C'est
Jimmy)
I
know
I
cant
loose,
When
I
tell
you
Je
sais
que
je
ne
peux
pas
perdre,
quand
je
te
dis
All
about
Mack
the
Knife,
babe
Tout
sur
Mack
le
couteau,
bébé
It's
an
offer
you
can
never
refuse
C'est
une
offre
que
tu
ne
peux
pas
refuser
We've
got
Patrick
William
On

du
piano
And
