Lyrics and translation George Formby - The Ghost
The
house
that
I
live
in
is
haunted,
I've
heard
funny
noises
of
late
La
maison
dans
laquelle
je
vis
est
hantée,
j'ai
entendu
des
bruits
étranges
ces
derniers
temps
For
one
evening
in
the
back
kitchen
I'll
swear
Un
soir
dans
la
cuisine
arrière,
je
jure
I
saw
a
man's
shadow
go
creeping
in
there
J'ai
vu
l'ombre
d'un
homme
se
faufiler
là
When
I
told
the
wife
she
said
"Hush
it's
a
ghost
Quand
j'ai
dit
à
ma
femme,
elle
a
dit
"Chut,
c'est
un
fantôme
And
you'd
be
better
get
off
to
bed
Et
tu
ferais
mieux
d'aller
te
coucher
Keep
out
of
his
way,
don't
let
him
see
you
Évite
de
le
croiser,
ne
le
laisse
pas
te
voir
Every
man
that
he
looks
at
drops
dead
Tous
ceux
qu'il
regarde
tombent
morts
I'm
terrified
out
of
my
life,
I'd
leave
the
house
but
for
the
wife
Je
suis
terrifié,
je
quitterais
la
maison
si
ce
n'était
pas
pour
toi
Our
house
is
haunted,
I'm
sure
there's
a
ghost
in
the
house
Notre
maison
est
hantée,
je
suis
sûr
qu'il
y
a
un
fantôme
dans
la
maison
One
night
death-like
silence
was
heard
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,
Tu
m'as
dit
"Va
te
coucher,
And
I'll
see
if
I
can't
find
the
ghost"
Et
je
vais
voir
si
je
ne
peux
pas
trouver
le
fantôme"
She
went
in
the
pantry,
"Don't
move",
someone
said
Tu
es
allée
dans
le
garde-manger,
"Ne
bouge
pas",
a
dit
quelqu'un
Then
I
heard
things
like
knives
being
sharpened
- I
turned
red
Alors
j'ai
entendu
des
bruits
comme
des
couteaux
qui
s'aiguisaient
- j'ai
rougi
When
a
voice
said,
"Where
is
he?"
I
fell
out
of
bed
Quand
une
voix
a
dit,
"Où
est-il
?"
J'ai
sauté
du
lit
Oh
I
wish
we
were
rid
of
the
ghost
Oh,
j'aimerais
que
nous
soyons
débarrassés
du
fantôme
One
night
as
I
sat
in
the
bedroom,
I
heard
a
disturbance
downstairs
Une
nuit
alors
que
j'étais
assis
dans
la
chambre,
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
my
room
door
and
hid
under
the
mat
J'ai
verrouillé
la
porte
de
ma
chambre
et
je
me
suis
caché
sous
le
paillasson
I
used
to
have
three
suits
of
clothes
J'avais
l'habitude
d'avoir
trois
costumes
Once
to
wear,
but
now
I
can
only
find
one
Une
fois
à
porter,
mais
maintenant
je
n'en
trouve
plus
qu'un
I
said
to
the
wife,
"Where's
my
clothes?
Je
t'ai
dit,
"Où
sont
mes
vêtements
?"
She
said,
"Hush
and
I'll
see
if
the
ghost
has
'em
on"
Tu
as
dit,
"Chut,
et
je
vais
voir
si
le
fantôme
les
porte"
She
says
through
brick
walls
he
can
Elle
dit
qu'il
peut
traverser
les
murs
de
briques
Get,
he's
been
through
my
pockets
I'll
bet
Prendre,
il
a
fouillé
mes
poches,
je
parie
Our
house
is
haunted,
I'm
sure
there's
a
ghost
in
the
house
Notre
maison
est
hantée,
je
suis
sûr
qu'il
y
a
un
fantôme
dans
la
maison
Every
night
round
the
place
softly
creeping
he
goes
Chaque
nuit,
il
se
faufile
doucement
dans
toute
la
maison
But
my
wife's
not
frightened,
her
courage
she
shows
Mais
toi,
tu
n'as
pas
peur,
tu
fais
preuve
de
courage
Each
night
I
can
hear
him
below,
Chaque
nuit,
je
peux
l'entendre
en
bas,
And
the
wife
knows
I'm
frightened
the
most
Et
tu
sais
que
j'ai
le
plus
peur
She
gets
up
and
leaves
me
in
bed,
filled
with
fright
Tu
te
lèves
et
me
laisses
au
lit,
rempli
de
peur
Whilst
downstairs
for
hours
she
hunts
him
left
and
right
Pendant
des
heures
en
bas,
tu
le
chasses
à
droite
et
à
gauche
I
haven't
seen
her
since
eleven
last
night
Je
ne
t'ai
pas
vue
depuis
onze
heures
hier
soir
Oh
I
wish
we
were
rid
of
the
ghost.
(Oh
Mother)
Oh,
j'aimerais
que
nous
soyons
débarrassés
du
fantôme.
(Oh,
maman)
