Lyrics and translation George Formby - Our House Is Haunted
The
′ouse
that
I
live
in
is
'aunted
La
maison
dans
laquelle
je
vis
est
hantée
I′ve
'eard
funny
noises
of
late!
J'ai
entendu
des
bruits
étranges
ces
derniers
temps !
For
one
evenin',
in
the
back
kitchen
I′ll
swear
Un
soir,
dans
la
cuisine
arrière,
je
jure
I
saw
a
man′s
shadow
go
creepin'
in
there!
J'ai
vu
l'ombre
d'un
homme
se
faufiler !
When
I
told
the
wife
she
said,
"′Ush,
it's
a
ghost
Quand
j'en
ai
parlé
à
ma
femme,
elle
a
dit :
"Chut,
c'est
un
fantôme
And
you′d
better
get
off
to
bed!
Et
tu
ferais
mieux
d'aller
te
coucher !
Keep
out
of
'is
way,
don′t
let
'I'm
see
you
Évite
de
te
mettre
en
travers
de
son
chemin,
ne
le
laisse
pas
te
voir
Every
man
that
′e
looks
at
drops
dead!"
Tous
ceux
sur
qui
il
pose
son
regard
finissent
par
mourir !
I′m
terrified
out
of
me
life
J'ai
tellement
peur
I'd
leave
the
′ouse
but
for
the
wife!
Je
quitterais
la
maison,
si
ce
n'était
pour
ma
femme !
Our
'ouse
is
′aunted
Notre
maison
est
hantée
I'm
sure
there′s
a
ghost
in
the
'ouse!
Je
suis
sûr
qu'il
y
a
un
fantôme
dans
la
maison !
One
night,
death-like
silence
was
'eard
all
about
Une
nuit,
un
silence
de
mort
s'est
fait
entendre
partout
To
make
matters
worse,
all
the
lights,
they
went
out!
Pour
aggraver
les
choses,
toutes
les
lumières
se
sont
éteintes !
The
wife
said
to
me,
"Off
to
bed
Ma
femme
m'a
dit :
"Va
au
lit
And
I′ll
see
if
I
can
find
the
ghost!"
Et
je
verrai
si
je
peux
trouver
le
fantôme !"
She
went
in
the
pantry;
"Don′t
move!",
someone
said
Elle
est
allée
dans
le
garde-manger :
"Ne
bouge
pas !",
a
dit
une
voix
Then
I
'eard
things
like
knives
bein′
sharpened,
I
turned
red!
Puis
j'ai
entendu
des
bruits
comme
des
couteaux
qui
s'aiguisent,
j'ai
rougi !
When
a
voice
said,
"Where
is
'e?",
I
fell
out
of
bed
Quand
une
voix
a
dit :
"Où
est-il ?",
je
suis
tombé
du
lit
Oh
I
wish
we
were
rid
of
the
ghost!
Oh,
j'aimerais
bien
nous
débarrasser
de
ce
fantôme !
One
night
as
I
sat
in
me
bedroom
Un
soir,
alors
que
j'étais
assis
dans
ma
chambre
I
′eard
a
disturbance
downstairs
J'ai
entendu
un
remue-ménage
en
bas
Someone
screamed
and
said,
"Oh,
you
mustn't
do
that!"
Quelqu'un
a
crié
et
a
dit :
"Oh,
tu
ne
dois
pas
faire
ça !"
I
locked
me
room
door
and
′id
under
the
mat!
J'ai
verrouillé
la
porte
de
ma
chambre
et
je
me
suis
caché
sous
le
tapis !
I
used
to
'ave
three
suits
of
clothes
once,
to
wear
J'avais
l'habitude
d'avoir
trois
costumes
à
porter
But
now
I
can
only
find
one!
Mais
maintenant
je
n'en
trouve
plus
qu'un !
I
said
to
the
wife,
"Where's
me
clothes?",
she
said,
"′Ush
J'ai
dit
à
ma
femme :
"Où
sont
mes
vêtements ?",
elle
a
dit :
"Chut
And
I′ll
see
if
the
ghost
has
'em
on!"
Et
je
verrai
si
le
fantôme
les
porte !"
She
says
through
brick
walls
′e
can
get
Elle
dit
qu'il
peut
passer
à
travers
les
murs
de
briques
'E′s
been
through
my
pockets
I'll
bet!
Il
a
fouillé
dans
mes
poches,
j'en
suis
sûr !
Our
′ouse
is
'aunted
Notre
maison
est
hantée
I'm
sure
there′s
a
ghost
in
the
′ouse!
Je
suis
sûr
qu'il
y
a
un
fantôme
dans
la
maison !
Every
night,
round
the
place
softly
creepin'
he
goes
Chaque
nuit,
il
se
faufile
doucement
dans
la
maison
But
my
wife′s
not
frightened,
her
courage
she
shows!
Mais
ma
femme
n'a
pas
peur,
elle
fait
preuve
de
courage !
Each
night
I
can
'ear
him
below
Chaque
nuit,
je
peux
l'entendre
en
bas
And
my
wife
knows
I′m
frightened
the
most!
Et
ma
femme
sait
que
j'ai
le
plus
peur !
She
gets
up
and
leaves
me
in
bed,
filled
with
fright
Elle
se
lève
et
me
laisse
au
lit,
rempli
de
peur
While
downstairs,
for
hours
she
hunts
him
left
and
right
Pendant
qu'en
bas,
elle
le
traque
pendant
des
heures,
à
droite
et
à
gauche
I
'aven′t
seen
'er
since
eleven
last
night
Je
ne
l'ai
pas
vue
depuis
onze
heures
hier
soir
Oh
I
wish
we
were
rid
of
the
ghost!
Oh,
j'aimerais
bien
nous
débarrasser
de
ce
fantôme !
