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

Раньше я был застенчивым и застенчивым, для быстрой жизни мне было все равно.

But now you can tell I'm a bit of a dog, in fact I'm a devil-may-care

Но теперь ты можешь сказать, что я немного собака, на самом деле, я дьявол, возможно, забочусь.

They told me to lead a gay life, a life that was dashing and free

Они сказали мне вести веселую жизнь, жизнь, которая была дерзкой и свободной.

So I made me mind up to do

Поэтому я решил сделать это.

Something rash, to show what a nut I could be

Что-то необдуманное, чтобы показать, каким я могу быть.

So I parted my hair in the middle, in the middle, in the middle

Так что я распустила волосы посередине, посередине, посередине.

Now when I leave my hotel everyone follows me, dogs as well

Теперь, когда я покидаю свой отель, все следуют за мной, собаки тоже.

If I give a girl the glad eye, I smile and I say "Twiddle, twiddle"

Если я даю девушке радостный взгляд, я улыбаюсь и говорю: "Твиддл, Твиддл!"

And I've smoked some brown paper without

И я выкурил немного коричневой бумаги без нее.

Being ill since I parted my hair in the middle

Я болею с тех пор, как расстался со своими волосами посередине.

One night with a girl you'll agree, I had an appointment and so

Однажды ночью с девушкой ты согласишься, у меня была встреча, и так ...

And as I'm just a little bit spoony,

И поскольку я просто немного фальшивка,

On airing my best Sunday clothes I did go

На проветривании моей лучшей воскресной одежды я пошел.

I got her a nice bunch of flowers,

Я подарил ей кучу цветов

From a dustbin just up the back street

Из мусорного ведра, прямо на заднем дворе.

Then as I stood in front of the

Тогда, когда я стоял перед

Looking-glass there To make my appearance complete

Зазеркалье там, чтобы сделать мою внешность полной.

I parted my hair in the middle, in the middle, in the middle

Я распустила волосы посередине, посередине, посередине.

Then I noticed our tom cat was washing his face on the front door mat

Затем я заметил, что наш кот Том моет лицо на коврике у входной двери.

He carefully curved his moustache,

Он осторожно выгнул усы.

Then at me his left eye he did twiddle

А потом на меня его левый глаз, он проскользнул.

Then I knew that he'd got an appointment as

Тогда я понял, что у него назначена встреча.

Well 'Cause he's parted his hair in the middle

Ну, потому что он распустил волосы посередине.
