Lyrics and translation George Formby - In a Little Wigan Garden
Talk
of
your
beautiful
meadows
and
fields
and
your
parks
so
grand
Parle
de
tes
beaux
prés
et
champs
et
de
tes
parcs
si
grandioses
Talk
of
your
wonderful
gardens
down
at
Kew
Parle
de
tes
magnifiques
jardins
à
Kew
I
know
a
spot
Je
connais
un
endroit
That
can
beat
all
the
lot
Qui
peut
battre
tout
ça
It′s
the
best
I've
seen!
C'est
le
meilleur
que
j'ai
vu !
Keep
all
your
hills
and
dales
Gardien
de
toutes
tes
collines
et
vallées
Put
me
with
the
slugs
and
snails!
Mets-moi
avec
les
limaces
et
les
escargots !
In
a
little
Wigan
garden
Dans
un
petit
jardin
de
Wigan
Where
the
dandelions
grow
Où
poussent
les
pissenlits
With
me
sweetie,
frowsy
Flo
Avec
ma
douce,
la
désordonnée
Flo
Round
the
mulberry
bush
we
go!
Autour
du
mûrier,
nous
allons !
Underneath
the
Wigan
palm
trees
Sous
les
palmiers
de
Wigan
There
I
bring
her
up
to
scratch
Là,
je
la
mets
au
courant
We
have
such
a
game
On
a
tellement
de
plaisir
On
the
cucumber
frame
Sur
le
cadre
du
concombre
I′d
show
her
the
cabbage
patch!
Je
lui
montrerai
le
champ
de
choux !
When
the
morning
mildew
christens
our
shallots
Lorsque
la
rosée
matinale
baptise
nos
échalotes
Scented
breezes
coming
from
the
chimney
pots!
Des
brises
parfumées
provenant
des
pots
de
cheminée !
In
a
little
Wigan
garden
Dans
un
petit
jardin
de
Wigan
When
the
soot
is
fallin'
down
Lorsque
la
suie
tombe
Oh
what
a
place
Oh,
quel
endroit
What
a
case
Quel
cas
A
disgrace
to
my
home
town!
Une
honte
pour
ma
ville !
All
sorts
of
things
Toutes
sortes
de
choses
Some
with
wings
Certaines
avec
des
ailes
Some
with
stings
Certaines
avec
des
piqûres
Every
night
appear
Apparaissent
chaque
nuit
Glow
worms
Vers
luisants
And
silkworms
Et
vers
à
soie
And
Wigan
earwigs
too!
Et
les
perce-oreilles
de
Wigan
aussi !
Crocuses
croak
Les
crocus
coassent
With
the
fog
and
the
smoke
Avec
le
brouillard
et
la
fumée
From
the
gasworks
near
Des
usines
à
gaz
à
proximité
The
one
thing
that
only
grows
La
seule
chose
qui
pousse
Is
the
wart
on
me
sweetie's
nose!
C'est
la
verrue
sur
le
nez
de
ma
douce !
In
a
little
Wigan
garden
Dans
un
petit
jardin
de
Wigan
With
me
little
Wiganese
Avec
ma
petite
Wiganaise
Getting
stung
with
bumble
bees
Se
faire
piquer
par
des
bourdons
Between
the
cabbage
and
the
peas!
Entre
le
chou
et
les
pois !
′Neath
the
Wigan
water
lillies
Sous
les
nénuphars
de
Wigan
Where
the
drainpipe
overflows
Où
le
tuyau
d’évacuation
déborde
Here′s
my
girl
and
me
Voici
ma
fille
et
moi
She'll
sit
on
me
knee
Elle
s’assiéra
sur
mes
genoux
And
watch
how
the
rhubarb
grows!
Et
observera
comment
pousse
la
rhubarbe !
′Neath
the
shady
trees
to
my
loved
one
I
cling
Sous
les
arbres
ombragés,
je
m’accroche
à
mon
bien-aimé
While
the
birds
above
do
everythin'
but
sing!
Alors
que
les
oiseaux
au-dessus
font
tout
sauf
chanter !
It′s
a
rotten
Wigan
garden
C’est
un
jardin
de
Wigan
pourri
Everything
grows
upside
down!
Tout
pousse
à
l’envers !
Oh
what
a
place
Oh,
quel
endroit
What
a
case
Quel
cas
A
disgrace
to
my
home
town!
Une
honte
pour
ma
ville !
