Lyrics and translation George Formby - The Window Cleaner




The Window Cleaner
Le laveur de vitres
Now I go cleanin′ windows to earn an honest bob
Maintenant, je vais nettoyer les fenêtres pour gagner un honnête salaire
For a nosy parker it's an interestin′ job
Pour un curieux, c'est un travail intéressant
Now it's a job that just suits me
Eh bien, c'est un travail qui me convient parfaitement
A window cleaner you would be
Un laveur de vitres, tu serais
If you can see what I can see
Si tu pouvais voir ce que je vois
When I'm cleanin′ windows
Quand je nettoie les fenêtres
Honeymoonin′ couples too
Les couples en lune de miel aussi
You should see them bill 'n coo
Tu devrais les voir roucouler
You′d be surprised at things they do
Tu serais surpris de ce qu'ils font
When I'm cleanin′ windows
Quand je nettoie les fenêtres
In my profession I'll work hard
Dans ma profession, je travaille dur
But I′ll never stop
Mais je n'arrêterai jamais
I'll climb this blinkin' ladder
Je vais grimper sur cette fichue échelle
Till I get right to the top
Jusqu'à ce que j'arrive tout en haut
The blushin′ bride, she looks divine
La mariée rougissante, elle est divine
The bridegroom he is doin′ fine
Le marié, il va bien
I'd rather have his job than mine
Je préférerais avoir son travail que le mien
When I′m cleanin' windows
Quand je nettoie les fenêtres
The chambermaids′ sweet names I call
Je dis les doux noms des femmes de chambre
It's a wonder I don′t fall
C'est un miracle que je ne tombe pas
My mind's not on my work at all
Mon esprit n'est pas du tout à mon travail
When I'm cleanin′ windows
Quand je nettoie les fenêtres
I know a fella, such a swell
Je connais un type, un tel beau garçon
He has a thirst, that′s plain to tell
Il a soif, c'est évident
I've seen him drink his bath as well
Je l'ai vu boire son bain aussi
When I′m cleanin' windows
Quand je nettoie les fenêtres
Oh, in my profession I′ll work hard
Oh, dans ma profession, je travaille dur
But I'll never stop
Mais je n'arrêterai jamais
I′ll climb this blinkin' ladder
Je vais grimper sur cette fichue échelle
Till I get right to the top
Jusqu'à ce que j'arrive tout en haut
Pyjamas lyin' side by side
Des pyjamas côte à côte
Ladies nighties I have spied
J'ai vu des robes de nuit de dames
I′ve often seen what goes inside
J'ai souvent vu ce qui se passe à l'intérieur
When I′m cleanin' windows
Quand je nettoie les fenêtres
Now there′s a famous talkie queen
Eh bien, il y a une célèbre reine du cinéma muet
She looks a flapper on the screen
Elle a l'air d'une flapper sur l'écran
She's more like eightie than eighteen
Elle ressemble plus à une femme de quatre-vingt ans qu'à une fille de dix-huit ans
When I′m cleanin' windows
Quand je nettoie les fenêtres
She pulls her hair all down behind
Elle se tire les cheveux en arrière
Then pulls down her... never mind
Puis elle se tire... laisse tomber
And after that pulls down the blind
Et après ça, elle baisse les stores
When I′m cleanin' windows
Quand je nettoie les fenêtres
In my profession I'll work hard
Dans ma profession, je travaille dur
But I′ll never stop
Mais je n'arrêterai jamais
I′ll climb this blinkin' ladder
Je vais grimper sur cette fichue échelle
Till I get right to the top
Jusqu'à ce que j'arrive tout en haut
An old maid walks around the floor
Une vieille fille se promène sur le sol
She′s so fed up, one day I'm sure
Elle est tellement fatiguée, un jour je suis sûr
She′ll drag me in and lock the door
Elle va me traîner à l'intérieur et fermer la porte à clé
When I'm cleanin′ windows
Quand je nettoie les fenêtres
When I'm cleanin' windows
Quand je nettoie les fenêtres
