Lyrics and translation George Formby - I Parted My Hair in the Middle
I
used
to
be
bashful
and
shy,
for
fast
living
I
didn't
care
J'étais
autrefois
timide
et
réservé,
je
ne
me
souciais
pas
de
la
vie
rapide
But
now
you
can
tell
I'm
a
bit
of
a
dog,
in
fact
I'm
a
devil-may-care
Mais
maintenant,
tu
peux
dire
que
je
suis
un
peu
un
chien,
en
fait,
je
suis
un
fêtard
sans
soucis
They
told
me
to
lead
a
gay
life,
a
life
that
was
dashing
and
free
Ils
m'ont
dit
de
mener
une
vie
joyeuse,
une
vie
qui
était
élégante
et
libre
So
I
made
me
mind
up
to
do
Alors
j'ai
décidé
de
faire
Something
rash,
to
show
what
a
nut
I
could
be
Quelque
chose
de
fou,
pour
montrer
à
quel
point
j'étais
cinglé
So
I
parted
my
hair
in
the
middle,
in
the
middle,
in
the
middle
Alors
j'ai
séparé
mes
cheveux
au
milieu,
au
milieu,
au
milieu
Now
when
I
leave
my
hotel
everyone
follows
me,
dogs
as
well
Maintenant,
quand
je
quitte
mon
hôtel,
tout
le
monde
me
suit,
les
chiens
aussi
If
I
give
a
girl
the
glad
eye,
I
smile
and
I
say
"Twiddle,
twiddle"
Si
je
fais
un
clin
d'œil
à
une
fille,
je
souris
et
je
dis
"Twiddle,
twiddle"
And
I've
smoked
some
brown
paper
without
Et
j'ai
fumé
du
papier
brun
sans
Being
ill
since
I
parted
my
hair
in
the
middle
Être
malade
depuis
que
j'ai
séparé
mes
cheveux
au
milieu
One
night
with
a
girl
you'll
agree,
I
had
an
appointment
and
so
Un
soir
avec
une
fille,
tu
seras
d'accord,
j'avais
rendez-vous
et
donc
And
as
I'm
just
a
little
bit
spoony,
Et
comme
je
suis
un
peu
amoureux,
On
airing
my
best
Sunday
clothes
I
did
go
En
enfilant
mes
plus
beaux
vêtements
du
dimanche,
je
suis
allé
I
got
her
a
nice
bunch
of
flowers,
Je
lui
ai
acheté
un
beau
bouquet
de
fleurs,
From
a
dustbin
just
up
the
back
street
D'une
poubelle
juste
dans
la
rue
derrière
Then
as
I
stood
in
front
of
the
Puis,
alors
que
j'étais
devant
le
Looking-glass
there
To
make
my
appearance
complete
Miroir,
pour
compléter
mon
apparence
I
parted
my
hair
in
the
middle,
in
the
middle,
in
the
middle
J'ai
séparé
mes
cheveux
au
milieu,
au
milieu,
au
milieu
Then
I
noticed
our
tom
cat
was
washing
his
face
on
the
front
door
mat
Alors
j'ai
remarqué
que
notre
chat
était
en
train
de
se
laver
le
visage
sur
le
paillasson
devant
la
porte
He
carefully
curved
his
moustache,
Il
a
soigneusement
courbé
sa
moustache,
Then
at
me
his
left
eye
he
did
twiddle
Puis
il
a
fait
un
clin
d'œil
de
son
œil
gauche
Then
I
knew
that
he'd
got
an
appointment
as
Alors
j'ai
compris
qu'il
avait
rendez-vous
car
Well
'Cause
he's
parted
his
hair
in
the
middle
Eh
bien,
parce
qu'il
a
séparé
ses
cheveux
au
milieu
