Lyrics and translation George Formby - The Man Was a Stranger to Me




The Man Was a Stranger to Me
L'homme m'était inconnu
I never could get on with strangers somehow
Je n'ai jamais pu m'entendre avec les étrangers, tu sais
Strange faces I never could see
Les visages inconnus, je ne pouvais pas les voir
Now I met a man in the street t′other day
J'ai rencontré un homme dans la rue l'autre jour
Well the man was a stranger to me
Eh bien, l'homme m'était inconnu
He said, "What's the time?", so I pulled out me watch
Il a dit : "Quelle heure est-il ?", alors j'ai sorti ma montre
I said "Look for yourself, do go on!
J'ai dit : "Regarde par toi-même, vas-y !"
I don′t think it's going!", he said, "Yes it is!"
Je ne pense pas qu'elle marche !", a-t-il dit, "Si, elle marche !"
In a tick after that it was gone!
Une seconde après, elle s'est arrêtée !
As I opened me eyes
Quand j'ai ouvert les yeux
I said, "How the time flies!"
J'ai dit : "Comme le temps passe vite !"
And me watch in his hand I could see
Et sa montre dans sa main, je pouvais la voir
I'd a good mind to ask him to give it me back
J'avais envie de lui demander de me la rendre
But the man was a stranger to me!
Mais l'homme m'était inconnu !
One night up the west I was swankin′ about
Un soir, j'étais en train de me promener dans l'ouest
When this stylish young lady dashed by
Quand cette jeune femme élégante est passée en courant
With a heavy portmanteau, she′d been for the coal
Avec une lourde valise, elle était allée chercher du charbon
I could tell by the piece in her eye!
Je pouvais le dire par le regard dans ses yeux !
She said, "Will you carry this for me Marie?
Elle a dit : "Veux-tu porter ça pour moi, Marie ?"
Well I've carried parcels before
Eh bien, j'ai porté des colis auparavant
And she was good lookin′, so I took on the job
Et elle était belle, alors j'ai accepté le travail
And I carried it home to her door
Et je l'ai portée jusqu'à sa porte
The door opened wide
La porte s'est ouverte
She said, "Come inside
Elle a dit : "Entre
Sit you down and I'll make you some tea
Assieds-toi et je te ferai du thé
Are you fond of pastries?"
Aimes-tu les pâtisseries ?"
I would have said yes
J'aurais dit oui
But the girl was a stranger to me!
Mais la fille m'était inconnue !
And the man was a stranger to me!
Et l'homme m'était inconnu !
