George Formby - If You Don't Want the Goods, Don't Maul 'Em - translation of the lyrics into French

Lyrics and translation George Formby - If You Don't Want the Goods, Don't Maul 'Em




If You Don't Want the Goods, Don't Maul 'Em
Si tu ne veux pas les marchandises, ne les malmène pas
Now here s a little motto song I′d like to sing to you
Voici une petite chanson de devise que j'aimerais te chanter
Some of them are very old and some of them are new
Certaines sont très anciennes et certaines sont nouvelles
But here's one in particular it′s funny in it's way
Mais en voici une en particulier, elle est drôle à sa manière
I wonder what we'd think if we heard our ancestors say
Je me demande ce que nous penserions si nous entendions nos ancêtres dire
If you don′t want the goods don′t
Si tu ne veux pas les marchandises, ne les
Maul 'em don′t maul 'em, don′t maul 'em
Malmène pas, ne les malmène pas, ne les malmène pas
If the saying old and true, you don′t like it when it's said to you
Si le dicton est vieux et vrai, tu ne l'aimes pas quand on te le dit
Are you going to marry my daughter sir? Said Pa to Johnny Doleham
Vas-tu épouser ma fille, monsieur ? Dit le père à Johnny Doleham
John said no so Pa said go,
John dit non, alors le père dit va-t-en,
If you don't want the goods, don′t maul ′em
Si tu ne veux pas les marchandises, ne les malmène pas
Now we all learned our history when we were kids at school
Maintenant, nous avons tous appris notre histoire quand nous étions enfants à l'école
We went there almost every day to learn the golden rules
Nous y allions presque tous les jours pour apprendre les règles d'or
King Solomon was a gay old boy, he was a lively spark
Le roi Salomon était un vieux garçon gai, c'était une étincelle vive
And this is what you might have heard while listening in the dark
Et voici ce que tu aurais pu entendre en écoutant dans le noir
If you don't want the goods don′t
Si tu ne veux pas les marchandises, ne les
Maul 'em don′t maul 'em, don′t maul 'em
Malmène pas, ne les malmène pas, ne les malmène pas
If the saying old and true, you don't like it when it′s said to you
Si le dicton est vieux et vrai, tu ne l'aimes pas quand on te le dit
King Solomon had six hundred wives and he always used to call ′em
Le roi Salomon avait six cents femmes et il les appelait toujours
Till one of them turned to him,
Jusqu'à ce qu'une d'elles se tourne vers lui,
And said if you don't want the goods don′t maul 'em
Et dit si tu ne veux pas les marchandises, ne les malmène pas
Now Smith went to a doctor once who lived in Harley street
Maintenant, Smith est allé voir un médecin une fois qui vivait dans Harley Street
He said my man those gallstones they will drag you off your feet
Il a dit mon homme ces calculs biliaires, ils vont te faire perdre pied
Just come inside my hospital at once without delay
Viens juste à l'hôpital tout de suite sans tarder
He did and when they chloriformed him he was heard to say
Il le fit et quand ils le chloroformèrent, on l'entendit dire
If you don′t want the goods don't
Si tu ne veux pas les marchandises, ne les
Maul ′em don't maul 'em, don′t maul ′em
Malmène pas, ne les malmène pas, ne les malmène pas
If the saying old and true, you don't like it when it′s said to you
Si le dicton est vieux et vrai, tu ne l'aimes pas quand on te le dit
They were just about to operate on his appendix, what do you call 'em
Ils étaient sur le point de l'opérer de son appendice, comment les appelle-t-on
When he popped up his head and to the doctor
Quand il leva la tête et dit au docteur
Said if you don′t want the goods don't maul ′em
Si tu ne veux pas les marchandises, ne les malmène pas
Now once I took my holidays and went across to France
Maintenant, une fois, j'ai pris mes vacances et je suis allé en France
I hadn't been there since the war so thought I'd take a chance
Je n'y étais pas retourné depuis la guerre, alors j'ai pensé prendre une chance
I strolled along a street there that they call the Bous Boulogne
Je me suis promené dans une rue qu'ils appellent le Bous Boulogne
And when a French girl spoke to me I shouted out this song
Et quand une Française m'a parlé, j'ai crié cette chanson
If you don′t want the goods don′t
Si tu ne veux pas les marchandises, ne les
Maul 'em don′t maul 'em, don′t maul 'em
Malmène pas, ne les malmène pas, ne les malmène pas
If the saying old and true, you don′t like it when it's said to you
Si le dicton est vieux et vrai, tu ne l'aimes pas quand on te le dit
Now while I was in Paris I stayed in a what do you call 'em
Maintenant, pendant que j'étais à Paris, j'ai séjourné dans un, comment les appelle-t-on
There were notices on every wall,
Il y avait des avis sur chaque mur,
If you don′t want the goods don′t maul 'em
Si tu ne veux pas les marchandises, ne les malmène pas
Napoleon said I love my troops and whatever may befall ′em
Napoléon a dit que j'aime mes troupes et quoi qu'il arrive
When Josephine stood up and said if
Quand Joséphine s'est levée et a dit si
You don't want the goods don′t maul 'em
Tu ne veux pas les marchandises, ne les malmène pas
