Lyrics and translation Fred Astaire - A Fine Romance
(From
"Swing
Time")
(De
"Swing
Time")
GINGER:
GINGER:
A
fine
romance,
with
no
kisses.
Une
belle
histoire
d'amour,
sans
baisers.
A
fine
romance,
my
friend,
this
is.
Une
belle
histoire
d'amour,
mon
ami,
c'est
ça.
We
should
be
like
a
couple
of
hot
tomatoes.
On
devrait
être
comme
deux
tomates
bien
chaudes.
But
you're
as
cold
as
yesterday's
mashed
potatoes.
Mais
tu
es
froid
comme
des
pommes
de
terre
en
purée
d'hier.
A
fine
romance,
you
won't
nestle.
Une
belle
histoire
d'amour,
tu
ne
veux
pas
te
blottir.
A
fine
romance,
you
won't
wrestle.
Une
belle
histoire
d'amour,
tu
ne
veux
pas
lutter.
I've
never
mussed
a
crease
in
your
blue
serge
pants.
Je
n'ai
jamais
froissé
un
pli
dans
ton
pantalon
en
serge
bleue.
I
never
had
the
chance.
Je
n'ai
jamais
eu
l'occasion.
This
is
a
fine
romance.
C'est
une
belle
histoire
d'amour.
A
fine
romance,
my
good
fellow.
Une
belle
histoire
d'amour,
mon
bon
ami.
You
take
romance.
I'll
take
Jell-o.
Tu
prends
l'amour.
Je
prendrai
la
gelée.
You're
calmer
than
the
seals
in
the
Arctic
Ocean.
Tu
es
plus
calme
que
les
phoques
de
l'océan
Arctique.
At
least
they
flap
their
fins
to
express
emotion.
Au
moins,
ils
battent
des
palmes
pour
exprimer
leurs
émotions.
A
fine
romance,
with
no
quarrels,
Une
belle
histoire
d'amour,
sans
disputes,
With
no
insults,
and
all
the
morals.
Sans
insultes,
et
avec
toutes
les
morales.
You're
just
as
hard
to
land
as
the
Ile
de
France.
Tu
es
aussi
difficile
à
conquérir
que
l'Ile
de
France.
I
never
get
the
chance.
Je
n'ai
jamais
eu
l'occasion.
This
is
a
fine
romance.
C'est
une
belle
histoire
d'amour.
FRED:
FRED:
A
fine
romance,
with
no
kisses.
Une
belle
histoire
d'amour,
sans
baisers.
A
fine
romance,
my
friend,
this
is.
Une
belle
histoire
d'amour,
mon
amie,
c'est
ça.
True
love
should
have
the
thrills
that
a
healthy
crime
has.
Le
véritable
amour
devrait
avoir
les
frissons
d'un
crime
sain.
We
don't
have
half
the
thrills
that
"The
March
of
Time"
has.
Nous
n'avons
pas
la
moitié
des
frissons
que
"La
Marche
du
Temps"
a.
A
fine
romance,
with
no
clinches.
Une
belle
histoire
d'amour,
sans
étreintes.
A
fine
romance,
with
no
pinches.
Une
belle
histoire
d'amour,
sans
pincements.
You
never
give
the
orchids
I
send
a
glance.
Tu
ne
regardes
jamais
les
orchidées
que
je
t'envoie.
No,
you
like
cactus
plants.
Non,
tu
aimes
les
cactus.
This
is
a
fine
romance.
C'est
une
belle
histoire
d'amour.
