George Formby - Sitting Pretty with My Fingers Crossed - translation of the lyrics into French

Lyrics and translation George Formby - Sitting Pretty with My Fingers Crossed




Sitting Pretty with My Fingers Crossed
Assis confortablement avec les doigts croisés
Every day kiddies play a little game with fingers crossed
Tous les jours, les enfants jouent à un petit jeu avec les doigts croisés
Since I played, I′m afraid, it's a habit I have never lost
Depuis que j'ai joué, j'ai peur, c'est une habitude que je n'ai jamais perdue
On the very first day that I saw the light, I was such a tiny mite
Le tout premier jour j'ai vu la lumière, j'étais un si petit être
Father said, "He′s like me and it serves him right"
Papa a dit : « Il est comme moi et il est bien servi »
I was sitting pretty with my fingers crossed
J'étais assis confortablement avec les doigts croisés
Once I had a nursemaid who was extra nice, in the park was paradise
Une fois, j'avais une nounou qui était extra gentille, au parc, c'était le paradis
When a soldier kissed her on the same place twice
Quand un soldat l'a embrassée au même endroit deux fois
I was sitting pretty with my fingers crossed
J'étais assis confortablement avec les doigts croisés
That's the only thing to do whenever danger comes
C'est la seule chose à faire quand le danger arrive
What's the use off fiddling and twiddling your thumbs
A quoi bon jouer avec les doigts et se tordre les pouces
When my doctor said "I′m
Quand mon médecin a dit : « Je suis
Vaccinating you, not on your arm, that won′t do
en train de te vacciner, pas sur ton bras, ça ne marchera pas
But they couldn't vaccinate me where they wanted to
Mais ils n'ont pas pu me vacciner ils voulaient
′Cause I was sitting pretty with my fingers crossed
parce que j'étais assis confortablement avec les doigts croisés
One night in the pictures with my girl
Une nuit au cinéma avec ma fille
Yvonne, the lights went out one by one
Yvonne, les lumières se sont éteintes une par une
Half an hour later when the lights went on,
Une demi-heure plus tard, quand les lumières se sont rallumées,
I was sitting pretty with my fingers crossed
j'étais assis confortablement avec les doigts croisés
Hunting with the hounds I made a rotten
À la chasse avec les chiens, j'ai fait un sale
Show (beastly), through the air, they saw me go
spectacle (bestial), dans les airs, ils m'ont vu partir
High up in a tree-top singing "Tally Ho! Yoiks!
Tout en haut dans la cime d'un arbre en chantant : « Tally Ho ! Yoiks !
" I was sitting pretty with my fingers crossed
» J'étais assis confortablement avec les doigts croisés
That's the only thing to do whenever danger comes you see
C'est la seule chose à faire quand le danger arrive, tu vois
What′s the use off fiddling and twiddling your thumbs, get me?
A quoi bon jouer avec les doigts et se tordre les pouces, tu comprends ?
Once I nursed a girl, her husband he came along
Une fois, j'ai soigné une fille, son mari est arrivé
He went for me, (he did), good and strong, (the cad)
Il s'est jeté sur moi (il l'a fait), fort et vigoureux (le coquin)
He said, "I've caught you playing a silly game′ I said " You're wrong
Il a dit : « Je t'ai pris en train de jouer à un jeu stupide » J'ai dit : « Tu te trompes
I was sitting pretty with my fingers crossed"
J'étais assis confortablement avec les doigts croisés »
I was on a steamer when the vessel
J'étais sur un bateau à vapeur quand le navire
Sunk, they rescued me in such a funk
a coulé, ils m'ont secouru dans une telle panique
With the captain's missus on the bosun′s bunk
Avec la femme du capitaine sur la couchette du maître d'équipage
I was sitting pretty with my fingers crossed
J'étais assis confortablement avec les doigts croisés
A scholar said my India rubber I can′t find our teacher said
Un érudit a dit que mon caoutchouc, je ne le retrouve pas, notre professeur a dit
Well never mind, You had better use a little boy's behind"
Eh bien, ne t'inquiète pas, tu ferais mieux d'utiliser les fesses d'un petit garçon »
I was sitting pretty with my fingers crossed
J'étais assis confortablement avec les doigts croisés
What′s the use of fiddling or twiddling your thumbs
A quoi bon jouer avec les doigts ou se tordre les pouces
That's the only thing to do whenever danger comes
C'est la seule chose à faire quand le danger arrive
On my wedding night my bride she whispered"
Le soir de mon mariage, ma fiancée a murmuré :
John, do you think I′m nice to gaze upon
Jean, penses-tu que je suis agréable à regarder
But in my little twin bed with my nightie on
Mais dans mon petit lit jumeau avec ma chemise de nuit
I was sitting pretty with my fingers crossed
J'étais assis confortablement avec les doigts croisés
