Lyrics and translation George Formby - I Blew a Little Blast On My Whistle
Now
when
I
was
a
boy,
my
mother's
pride
and
joy
Alors,
quand
j'étais
un
garçon,
la
fierté
de
ma
mère
She
gave
me
a
whistle
this
is
it
Elle
m'a
offert
un
sifflet,
le
voilà
And
no
matter
where
I
go,
band
of
hope
or
picture
show
Et
peu
importe
où
j'allais,
dans
un
groupe
ou
au
cinéma
My
little
whistle
always
makes
a
hit
Mon
petit
sifflet
faisait
toujours
sensation
It's
been
a
pal
to
me
it's
as
easy
as
can
be
Il
a
toujours
été
mon
ami,
c'est
si
facile
And
to
blow
it
doesn't
use
up
any
gristle
Et
pour
le
siffler,
il
ne
faut
pas
utiliser
de
cartilage
A
lady
came
to
tea,
and
when
she
smiled
at
Une
dame
est
venue
prendre
le
thé,
et
quand
elle
a
souri
à
Well
I
blew
a
little
blast
on
my
whistle
Eh
bien,
j'ai
sifflé
un
petit
coup
de
sifflet
I've
been
to
London
too,
Leicester
Square
and
to
the
zoo
Je
suis
allé
à
Londres
aussi,
à
Leicester
Square
et
au
zoo
In
the
tube
and
even
down
the
Strand
Dans
le
métro
et
même
dans
la
rue
Strand
But
no
matter
where
I
went
I
had
no
accident
Mais
peu
importe
où
j'allais,
je
n'ai
eu
aucun
accident
I
always
had
my
whistle
in
my
hand
J'avais
toujours
mon
sifflet
en
main
But
once
near
Waterloo
a
near
squeak
it's
true
Mais
une
fois
près
de
Waterloo,
un
moment
critique,
c'est
vrai
I
trembled
and
my
hair
it
seemed
to
bristle
J'ai
tremblé
et
mes
cheveux
ont
semblé
se
hérisser
A
lady
smiled
and
stopped
and
then
she
nearly
dropped
Une
dame
a
souri,
s'est
arrêtée
et
a
failli
tomber
When
I
blew
a
little
blast
on
my
whistle
Quand
j'ai
sifflé
un
petit
coup
de
sifflet
When
in
a
country
lane,
while
sheltering
from
the
rain
Quand
je
me
trouvais
dans
une
allée
de
campagne,
à
l'abri
de
la
pluie
I
soon
found
out
that
I
was
not
alone
J'ai
vite
compris
que
je
n'étais
pas
seul
I
heard
a
sound
like
this
(kiss),
it
must
have
been
a
kiss
J'ai
entendu
un
son
comme
ça
(bisou),
ça
devait
être
un
baiser
Two
lovers
thinking
they
were
on
their
own
Deux
amoureux
pensant
être
seuls
They
carried
on
disgraceful,
I
went
all
goosey
like
Ils
ont
continué
à
faire
des
bêtises,
je
suis
devenu
tout
tremblant
But
when
the
lady
shouted
"stop
it
Cecil!"
Mais
quand
la
dame
a
crié
"arrête
ça,
Cecil!"
I
took
it
for
a
hint,
and
I
had
a
little
squint
J'ai
compris
le
message,
j'ai
jeté
un
petit
coup
d'œil
And
I
couldn't
blow
a
blast
on
my
whistle
Et
je
n'ai
pas
pu
siffler
un
coup
de
sifflet
Ah
well,
I'm
married
now,
and
I
really
don't
know
how
Ah
bien,
je
suis
marié
maintenant,
et
je
ne
sais
vraiment
pas
comment
To
tell
you
of
the
news
that
came
today
Te
dire
la
nouvelle
qui
est
arrivée
aujourd'hui
I've
a
little
son
and
heir,
yes
one,
no
not
a
pair
J'ai
un
petit
fils
et
héritier,
oui
un,
pas
deux
No
wonder
that
I'm
feeling
bright
and
gay
Pas
étonnant
que
je
me
sente
gai
et
joyeux
I'm
feeling
very
proud,
but
I
mustn't
talk
so
loud
Je
suis
très
fier,
mais
je
ne
dois
pas
parler
trop
fort
I've
been
celebrating
at
the
Rose
and
Thistle
J'ai
fêté
ça
à
la
Rose
et
au
Chardon
He's
a
lovely
little
kid,
and
the
first
thing
that
he
did
C'est
un
adorable
petit
garçon,
et
la
première
chose
qu'il
a
faite
Was
to
blow
a
little
blast
on
his
whistle
C'est
de
siffler
un
petit
coup
de
sifflet
