Lyrics and translation Fred Astaire feat. Ginger Rogers - I'd Rather Lead A Band
I
haven't
ambitions
Je
n'ai
pas
d'ambitions
For
lofty
positions
Pour
des
postes
élevés
That
wind
up
with
Qui
finissent
par
The
wealth
of
the
land
La
richesse
du
pays
I'll
give
you
the
throne
Je
te
donnerai
le
trône
That
a
king
sat
on
Où
un
roi
s'est
assis
For
just
a
small
baton
Pour
juste
une
petite
baguette
Providing
you
included
a
band
À
condition
que
tu
inclues
un
orchestre
If
I
could
be
the
wealthy
owner
Si
je
pouvais
être
le
riche
propriétaire
Of
a
large
industry
D'une
grande
industrie
I
would
say,
"Not
for
me"
Je
dirais,
"Pas
pour
moi"
I'd
rather
lead
a
band
J'aimerais
mieux
diriger
un
orchestre
If
I
could
be
a
politician
Si
je
pouvais
être
un
politicien
With
a
chance
to
dictate
Avec
une
chance
de
dicter
I
would
say,
"Let
it
wait"
Je
dirais,
"Laisse
ça
attendre"
I'd
rather
lead
a
band
J'aimerais
mieux
diriger
un
orchestre
My
every
care
ceases
Tous
mes
soucis
cessent
I'm
rich
as
old
Croesus
Je
suis
riche
comme
Crésus
When
I've
got
ten
pieces
Quand
j'ai
dix
musiciens
In
hand
En
main
If
I
could
have
a
millionairess
Si
je
pouvais
avoir
une
millionnaire
With
a
whole
flock
of
banks
Avec
une
flopée
de
banques
I
would
just
whisper,
"Thanks"
Je
lui
murmurerai
simplement,
"Merci"
I'd
rather
lead
a
band
J'aimerais
mieux
diriger
un
orchestre
Oh,
a
saxophone,
a
slide
trombone
Oh,
un
saxophone,
un
trombone
à
coulisse
A
bass
fiddle
and
a
drum
Une
contrebasse
et
une
batterie
A
guy
at
the
piano
Un
mec
au
piano
Who
makes
it
hum
Qui
le
fait
ronronner
A
violin,
a
clarinet
Un
violon,
une
clarinette
A
hot
trumpet
and
guitar
Une
trompette
chaude
et
une
guitare
And
me
with
the
baton
Et
moi
avec
la
baguette
And
there
you
are
Et
voilà
Alright
boys
Bon
les
gars
Rehearsal
