Lyrics and translation George Formby - Swing Mama




Swing Mama
Balance toi, Maman
You′re doing great but it's out of a
Tu fais du bon boulot, mais ça manque de
Date, it′s quite a show, but it wouldn't go
Date, c’est un bon spectacle, mais ça ne marcherait pas
It's nice and bright, but it isn′t right,
C’est sympa et lumineux, mais ce n’est pas ça
It′s pretty slick, but it doesn't click
C’est assez cool, mais ça ne marche pas
There′s just one thing,
Il manque juste une chose,
Even a your age you'd be all the rage (What′s that thing?)
Même à ton âge, tu ferais fureur (C’est quoi cette chose ?)
Though you're getting old you could
Même si tu vieillis, tu pourrais
Knock ′em cold (What's that thing?)
Les mettre K.O. (C’est quoi cette chose ?)
If you wanna come back it's a thing that you lack (What′s that thing?)
Si tu veux revenir, il te manque une chose (C’est quoi cette chose ?)
Why, just that thing′s swing
Eh bien, c’est juste le balancement de cette chose
Oh you needn't start pushing up daisies although you′re seventy five
Oh, tu n’as pas besoin de commencer à pousser les marguerites, même si tu as 75 ans
Swing Mama, swing papa, keep yourself alive
Balance-toi, Maman, balance-toi, Papa, reste en vie
And you needn't go all to blazes although you′re eighty one
Et tu n’as pas besoin de t’enflammer, même si tu as 81 ans
Swing Mister, swing sister, give yourself some fun
Balance-toi, Monsier, balance-toi, Sœur, fais-toi plaisir
You wanna cure sciatica, just take it away,
Tu veux guérir ta sciatique, il suffit de t’en aller,
You don't need a rub, but a rub-a-dub-dub
Tu n’as pas besoin de te faire masser, mais d’un bon « rub-a-dub-dub »
Watch that rhythm take it away, oh you needn′t be past your hey day
Regarde ce rythme, laisse-toi aller, oh, tu n’es pas passé ton apogée
Although you're ninety five,
Même si tu as 95 ans,
Swing Mama, swing papa, keep yourself alive
Balance-toi, Maman, balance-toi, Papa, reste en vie
You get along,
Tu t’en sors bien,
But there's something wrong. It wouldn′t flop, but it′s not the top
Mais il y a quelque chose qui ne va pas. Ça ne flopperait pas, mais ce n’est pas le top
It's pretty swell,
C’est assez bien,
But it wouldn′t sell You sure can wail, but it's got no sale
Mais ça ne se vendrait pas. Tu peux crier, mais ça ne se vend pas
There′s just one thing,
Il manque juste une chose,
Even a your age you'd be all the rage (What′s that thing?)
Même à ton âge, tu ferais fureur (C’est quoi cette chose ?)
Though you're getting old you could
Même si tu vieillis, tu pourrais
Knock 'em cold (What′s that thing?)
Les mettre K.O. (C’est quoi cette chose ?)
If you wanna come back it′s a thing that you lack (What's that thing?)
Si tu veux revenir, il te manque une chose (C’est quoi cette chose ?)
Why, just that thing′s swing
Eh bien, c’est juste le balancement de cette chose
Oh you needn't go rootin′ tootin' although you′re seventy five
Oh, tu n’as pas besoin de te mettre en mode « rootin’ tootin’ », même si tu as 75 ans
Swing Mama, swing papa, keep yourself alive
Balance-toi, Maman, balance-toi, Papa, reste en vie
And you needn't be high folluting' although you′re eighty one
Et tu n’as pas besoin d’être « high folluting’ », même si tu as 81 ans
Swing mister, swing sister, give yourself some fun
Balance-toi, Monsier, balance-toi, Sœur, fais-toi plaisir
Though you′re alive and kicking now, how long will you stay
Même si tu es en vie et que tu te bats, combien de temps resteras-tu ?
Keep yourself young by a beat of the gong and dance those blues away
Reste jeune avec un coup de gong et fais disparaître ces blues
It's a tonic, there′s no disputin' although you′re ninety five
C’est un tonique, il n’y a pas de débat, même si tu as 95 ans
Swing Mama, swing papa, keep yourself alive
Balance-toi, Maman, balance-toi, Papa, reste en vie
You gotta sing, you gotta swing
Tu dois chanter, tu dois te balancer
Swing Mama, swing papa, keep yourself alive
Balance-toi, Maman, balance-toi, Papa, reste en vie
