Lyrics and translation George Formby - The Old Cane Bottom Chair




The Old Cane Bottom Chair
La vieille chaise en rotin
Now we′ve got a chair at our house, it's an antique worth a lot
Maintenant, nous avons une chaise chez nous, c'est un antique qui vaut beaucoup
It′s a very rare chair is our chair, it's the only chair we've got
C'est une chaise très rare, c'est la seule que nous ayons
Now when we had the bums in they left our house so bare
Alors que nous avions des clochards chez nous, ils nous ont laissé la maison si vide
The only thing they left us was the old cane bottom chair
La seule chose qu'ils nous ont laissée, c'est la vieille chaise en rotin
Our family all take turns to sit down I declare
Notre famille prend des tours à tour pour s'asseoir, je te le jure
It′s my turn Friday fortnight for the old cane bottom chair
C'est mon tour le vendredi tous les quinze jours pour la vieille chaise en rotin
It′s been the seat of trouble from the start
Elle a été le siège des problèmes dès le départ
Yet nothing could be closer to my heart
Pourtant, rien ne pourrait être plus cher à mon cœur
We had it newly varnished and mother got a scare
Nous l'avons fait vernir à neuf et maman a eu une peur bleue
She cried I'll stick forever to the old cane bottom chair
Elle a crié "Je resterai à jamais sur la vieille chaise en rotin"
It used to be in Fleet Street when Sweeney Todd was there
Elle était à Fleet Street quand Sweeney Todd était
He polished off his victims in the old cane bottom chair
Il polissait ses victimes sur la vieille chaise en rotin
A tin tack on the woodwork tore auntie′s underwear
Une punaise sur le bois a déchiré les sous-vêtements de ma tante
She felt the breezes blowing through the old cane bottom chair
Elle a senti la brise souffler à travers la vieille chaise en rotin
It's been the seat of trouble from the start
Elle a été le siège des problèmes dès le départ
Yet nothing could be closer to my heart
Pourtant, rien ne pourrait être plus cher à mon cœur
At school my teacher caned me, the rod he didn′t spare
À l'école, mon professeur m'a donné des coups de bâton, il n'a pas ménagé les efforts
For weeks I couldn't sit down on the old cane bottom chair
Pendant des semaines, je n'ai pas pu m'asseoir sur la vieille chaise en rotin
One morning Jessie Bailey, she sat the triplets there
Un matin, Jessie Bailey a assis les triplés dessus
Our tom cat had a shower, neath the old cane bottom chair
Notre chat a pris une douche sous la vieille chaise en rotin
When I was young and skinny, the first time I sat there
Quand j'étais jeune et maigre, la première fois que je me suis assis dessus
I slipped through the hole in the middle of the old cane bottom chair
Je suis passé à travers le trou au milieu de la vieille chaise en rotin
It′s been the seat of trouble from the start
Elle a été le siège des problèmes dès le départ
Yet nothing could be closer to my heart
Pourtant, rien ne pourrait être plus cher à mon cœur
There's two chairs we're proud of, a great historic pair
Il y a deux chaises dont nous sommes fiers, un grand duo historique
The grand old throne of England and the old cane bottom chair
Le grand vieux trône d'Angleterre et la vieille chaise en rotin
