Lyrics and translation Fred Astaire - I Left My Hat in Haiti
In
some
forgotten
flat
in
Haiti
Dans
un
appartement
oublié
en
Haïti
I
couldn't
tell
you
how
I
got
there
Je
ne
saurais
te
dire
comment
j'y
suis
arrivé
I
only
know
it
was
so
hot
there
Je
sais
juste
qu'il
faisait
très
chaud
là-bas
She
took
my
hat
politely
Elle
a
pris
mon
chapeau
poliment
And
wound
her
arms
around
me
tightly
Et
elle
a
enroulé
ses
bras
autour
de
moi
But
I
remember
nothing
clearly
Mais
je
ne
me
souviens
de
rien
clairement
Except
the
flame
when
she
came
near
me
Sauf
la
flamme
quand
elle
s'est
approchée
de
moi
Her
eyes
had
the
glow
of
surrender
Ses
yeux
avaient
l'éclat
de
la
soumission
And
her
touch
it
was
tender
Et
son
toucher
était
tendre
And
with
someone
as
fiery
as
that
Et
avec
une
femme
aussi
ardente
que
ça
You
forget
about
your
hat
Tu
oublies
ton
chapeau
So
if
you
go
to
Haiti
Donc
si
tu
vas
en
Haïti
There
is
a
girl
I
know
in
Haiti
Il
y
a
une
fille
que
je
connais
en
Haïti
If
you
can
find
her
you'll
adore
her
Si
tu
la
trouves,
tu
l'adoreras
Just
look
around
till
you've
found
someone
who
has
a
blue-grey
fedora
Cherche
jusqu'à
ce
que
tu
trouves
quelqu'un
qui
a
un
fedora
gris-bleu
Her
eyes
had
the
glow
of
surrender
Ses
yeux
avaient
l'éclat
de
la
soumission
And
her
touch
it
was
tender
Et
son
toucher
était
tendre
And
with
someone
as
fiery
as

Et
avec
une
femme
