Lyrics and translation George Formby - Our Sergeant Major




Our Sergeant Major
Notre sergent-major
Now there's a sergeant major
Il y a un sergent-major
Enjoys life while he can
Qui aime la vie tant qu'il peut
He proves to all the ladies
Il prouve à toutes les femmes
He's a soldier and a man!
Qu'il est un soldat et un homme !
He sticks out his chest
Il gonfle sa poitrine
Two pillows in his vest
Deux oreillers dans son gilet
A bolster under
Un traversin sous
His rotunda
Son ventre rond
Our sergeant major!
Notre sergent-major !
His medals break our hearts
Ses médailles nous brisent le cœur
He won them playing darts!
Il les a gagnées en jouant aux fléchettes !
And while competing
Et pendant la compétition
Who was cheating?
Qui trichait ?
Our sergeant major!
Notre sergent-major !
He's far away the worst friend we've ever had
C'est de loin le pire ami que nous ayons jamais eu
When he's far away, well, we're mighty glad!
Quand il est loin, eh bien, nous sommes bien contents !
In the canteen bar
Au bar de la cantine
You know what sergeants are!
Tu sais ce que sont les sergents !
When we've passed out
Quand nous sommes tombés
Who's the last out?
Qui est le dernier ?
Our sergeant major!
Notre sergent-major !
He's got a raucous voice
Il a une voix rauque
His language isn't choice!
Son langage n'est pas choisi !
In clink we'd shove him
On l'enfermerait au cachot
How we love him
Comme on l'aime
Our sergeant major!
Notre sergent-major !
His weight about he'll throw
Il va jeter son poids
The wicked so and so!
Le vilain !
Who'd even smother
Qui étoufferait même
His own mother?
Sa propre mère ?
Our sergeant major!
Notre sergent-major !
He's far away the worst friend we've ever had
C'est de loin le pire ami que nous ayons jamais eu
When he's far away, well, we're mighty glad!
Quand il est loin, eh bien, nous sommes bien contents !
Our bugler goes his rounds
Notre tromboniste fait ses rondes
And when the bugle sounds
Et quand le trombon sonne
For everlastin'!
Pour toujours !
Who's he blastin'?
Qui est-ce qu'il mitraille ?
Our sergeant major!
Notre sergent-major !
Now he makes raw recruits
Maintenant, il fait trembler les recrues
Just tremble in their boots
Dans leurs bottes
He calls 'em slackers!
Il les appelle des fainéants !
Who's gone crackers?
Qui est devenu fou ?
Our sergeant major!
Notre sergent-major !
His feet fill up the road
Ses pieds remplissent la route
Knock-kneed and pigeon-toed
Genoux pliés et pieds en canard
We'd sooner shoot him
On préférerait le tirer
Than salute him
Que de le saluer
Our sergeant major!
Notre sergent-major !
He's far away the worst friend we've ever had
C'est de loin le pire ami que nous ayons jamais eu
When he's far away, well, we're mighty glad!
Quand il est loin, eh bien, nous sommes bien contents !
The mascot goat we own
La chèvre mascotte que nous possédons
Though big and fat has grown
Bien qu'elle soit grosse et grasse
Wild and warlike
Sauvage et belliqueuse
It's far more like
Elle ressemble davantage à
Our sergeant major!
Notre sergent-major !
