Lyrics and translation George Formby - Levi's Monkey, Mike




Levi's Monkey, Mike
Le singe de Levi, Mike
Now Mr. Levi always liked an animal or two
Alors, M. Levi aimait toujours un ou deux animaux
And if you went into his house you'd think it was a zoo
Et si tu allais dans sa maison, tu penserais que c'était un zoo
He went and bought a monkey and, you never saw the like
Il est allé acheter un singe et, tu n'as jamais vu le genre
It came from Tipperary so they call that monkey Mike
Il venait de Tipperary, alors ils appellent ce singe Mike
Oh Levi's Monkey Mike, what a funny creature
Oh, le singe de Levi, Mike, quelle drôle de créature
He went into the church one day and bit the local preacher
Il est allé à l'église un jour et a mordu le prédicateur local
The organist as stiff as starch joined the rest at Marble Arch
L'organiste, raide comme de l'amidon, a rejoint les autres à Marble Arch
Who was it played the wedding march? Levi's Monkey Mike
Qui a joué la marche nuptiale ? Le singe de Levi, Mike
You heard about a Captain who has just gained great renown
Tu as entendu parler d'un capitaine qui vient de gagner une grande renommée
He played his ukulele while his ship was going down
Il a joué de son ukulélé pendant que son bateau coulait
But some of you may not have heard the most important fact
Mais certains d'entre vous n'ont peut-être pas entendu parler du fait le plus important
Of someone who was there and did a very gallant act
De quelqu'un qui était et a fait un acte très courageux
It was Levi's Monkey Mike with that good ship he was sailing
C'était le singe de Levi, Mike, avec ce bon navire sur lequel il naviguait
A life upon the ocean wave had always been his failing
Une vie sur la vague océanique avait toujours été son échec
A fact we know is very plain, the ship went down in the angry main
Un fait que nous savons est très clair, le navire a coulé dans la mer en colère
Who was it pulled it up again? Levi's Monkey Mike
Qui l'a remonté ? Le singe de Levi, Mike
A poor old maiden went to bed as poor old maidens will
Une pauvre vieille fille s'est couchée comme le font les pauvres vieilles filles
She dreamt abut a nice young man who's christian name was Bill
Elle a rêvé d'un jeune homme gentil qui s'appelait Bill
She looked so sweet and peaceful as she lay there I declare
Elle avait l'air si douce et paisible alors qu'elle était allongée là, je déclare
And through the open window came a great big bunch of hair
Et par la fenêtre ouverte est arrivée une grosse touffe de cheveux
It was Levi's Monkey Mike, the cheeky little duffer
C'était le singe de Levi, Mike, le petit chenapan espiègle
He chewed up all her lipstick and he pinched her powder puffer
Il a mâché tout son rouge à lèvres et a pincé son poudrier
When in her dream she acted queer and whispered, "Darling bite my ear"
Quand dans son rêve, elle a agi de façon étrange et a murmuré : "Chéri, mord-moi l'oreille"
Who was it answered "all right dear" Levi's Monkey Mike
Qui a répondu : "D'accord, chérie" ? Le singe de Levi, Mike
Now once we had a parliament but it would never go
Alors, une fois, nous avions un parlement, mais il ne voulait jamais aller
So they filled it up with animals out of a wild beast show
Alors, ils l'ont rempli d'animaux d'un spectacle de bêtes sauvages
The lion was Prime Minister, to swank he was disposed
Le lion était Premier ministre, il était disposé à se pavaner
They wanted a Lord Chancellor so somebody proposed
Ils voulaient un Lord Chancelier, alors quelqu'un a proposé
Levi's Monkey Mike and he proved quite a good'n
Le singe de Levi, Mike, et il s'est avéré être un bon
He taxed the laces in our boot s and taxed our Christmas puddin'
Il a taxé les lacets de nos bottes et a taxé notre pudding de Noël
Now working man just give a cheer, we're all right now, so never fear
Maintenant, ouvrier, donne juste un cri, on va bien maintenant, alors n'aie pas peur
Who's going to take the tax off beer? Levi's Monkey Mike
Qui va supprimer la taxe sur la bière ? Le singe de Levi, Mike
