George Formby - Could Make a Good Living at That - translation of the lyrics into French




Could Make a Good Living at That
Pourrais bien gagner ma vie avec ça
I just can't remember the last time I worked
Je ne me souviens plus de la dernière fois j'ai travaillé
I could blush with repentance and shame!
Je pourrais rougir de repentance et de honte !
When I think of the years that I've spent on the dole
Quand je pense aux années que j'ai passées au chômage
Well I can't bear the sound of me name!
Eh bien, je ne supporte pas le son de mon nom !
But I'm going to reform and I'm looking around
Mais je vais me réformer et je regarde autour de moi
For a job that I think I can do
Pour un travail que je pense pouvoir faire
I'll just work like a horse
Je vais travailler comme un cheval
And have no more remorse
Et n'avoir plus aucun remords
There'll be no need for me to feel blue
Je n'aurai plus besoin de me sentir bleu
Because I went to the races not long ago
Parce que j'ai été aux courses il n'y a pas longtemps
And watched every jockey that won
Et j'ai regardé chaque jockey qui a gagné
He just sat on 'is 'orse
Il était juste assis sur son cheval
While it covered the course
Alors qu'il couvrait le parcours
And he got fifty quid when he'd done!
Et il a gagné cinquante livres quand il a terminé !
Now if I understood horses and knew how to ride
Maintenant, si je comprenais les chevaux et si je savais monter à cheval
And learnt off a bit of me fat
Et si j'apprenais à me débarrasser d'un peu de ma graisse
If I was head stableman
Si j'étais le chef d'écurie
To the great Aga Khan
Du grand Aga Khan
I could make a good livin'
Je pourrais gagner ma vie
Make a good livin'
Gagner ma vie
Make good livin' at that!
Gagner bien ma vie avec ça !
Some cricketers came from Australia last year
Des joueurs de cricket sont venus d'Australie l'année dernière
And the newspapers made such a fuss!
Et les journaux ont fait un tel tapage !
I don't know what the row was about, but it seems
Je ne sais pas de quoi il s'agissait, mais il semble
That they'd taken some cinders from us!
Qu'ils ont pris des cendres de nous !
There was one in particular, Don was his name
Il y en avait un en particulier, Don était son nom
He's the youngest one, that gets my goat
C'est le plus jeune, celui qui me fait mordre
For a millionaire chap liked his playin' so much
Pour un millionnaire, il aimait tellement jouer
That he sent him a thousand pound note!
Qu'il lui a envoyé un billet de mille livres !
Just imagine, a lad pickin' money up so
Imagine, un garçon qui ramasse de l'argent comme ça
Just because he belongs to a club
Juste parce qu'il appartient à un club
I could almost repent
Je pourrais presque me repentir
At the long years I've spent
Des longues années que j'ai passées
Playin' dominoes down at the pub!
À jouer aux dominos au pub !
Now if I understood cricket and what it's about
Maintenant, si je comprenais le cricket et ce qu'il représente
And knew how to handle a bat
Et si je savais comment manier une batte
If I could beat Bradman's score
Si je pouvais battre le score de Bradman
Of three hundred and four
De trois cent quatre
I could make a good livin'
Je pourrais gagner ma vie
Make a good livin'
Gagner ma vie
Make a good livin' at that!
Gagner bien ma vie avec ça !
And if I went into Parliament that would be fine
Et si j'allais au Parlement, ce serait bien
I'd have such a lot to discuss
J'aurais tellement de choses à discuter
I would have some debates
J'aurais des débats
On the taxes and rates
Sur les taxes et les taux
I'd surely create lots of fuss!
Je ferais certainement beaucoup de bruit !
And I wouldn't sit there and say nothin', like some
Et je ne resterais pas assis à ne rien dire, comme certains
I would always be wearin' me hat
Je porterais toujours mon chapeau
And if they made me Premier
Et s'ils me nommaient Premier ministre
At ten thousand a year
À dix mille livres par an
I could make a good livin'
Je pourrais gagner ma vie
Make a good livin'
Gagner ma vie
Make a good livin' at that!
Gagner bien ma vie avec ça !
