Lyrics and translation George Formby - When We Feather Our Nest
I've
been
lonely
a
long
long
time,
we'll
get
together
soon
Je
suis
seul
depuis
longtemps,
on
se
retrouvera
bientôt
In
our
little
nest
I'll
deserve
a
rest,
after
the
honeymoon
Dans
notre
petit
nid,
je
mériterai
un
peu
de
repos,
après
la
lune
de
miel
Though
I
feel
a
little
bit
shy,
I'll
be
all
right
by
and
by
Même
si
je
me
sens
un
peu
timide,
je
serai
bien
dans
quelques
jours
I
have
never
been
wed
before,
I'm
going
to
like
it
I
feel
quite
sure
Je
ne
me
suis
jamais
marié
auparavant,
j'ai
hâte
de
me
marier,
je
suis
sûr
de
l'aimer
Gee,
there's
something
for
us
in
store.
When
we
feather
our
nest
Oh,
il
y
a
quelque
chose
de
bien
qui
nous
attend.
Quand
on
plume
notre
nid
We'll
live
under
a
magic
spell,
it'll
be
like
heaven
but
sad
to
tell
On
vivra
sous
un
charme
magique,
ce
sera
comme
le
paradis,
mais
triste
à
dire
If
your
mother
comes
round
it'll
be
Si
ta
mère
vient,
ce
sera
Like
(hell)
when
we
feather
our
nest
Comme
(l'enfer)
quand
on
plume
notre
nid
We
will
make
our
home
just
like
a
one
price
happiness
store
On
fera
de
notre
maison
un
magasin
de
bonheur
à
prix
unique
There
will
be
just
you
and
me
and
maybe
two
or
three
more
Il
n'y
aura
que
toi
et
moi,
et
peut-être
deux
ou
trois
de
plus
You'll
have
to
make
my
wages
do,
I'm
only
earning
one
pound
two
Tu
devras
faire
durer
mon
salaire,
je
ne
gagne
que
1 livre
et
2 shillings
That's
a
pound
for
me
and
two
bob
for
you
when
we
feather
our
nest
C'est
1 livre
pour
moi
et
2 shillings
pour
toi
quand
on
plume
notre
nid
The
bed
is
not
long
enough
but
still,
manage
somehow
I
know
we
will
Le
lit
n'est
pas
assez
long,
mais
on
réussira
quand
même,
je
le
sais
I'll
sleep
with
my
feet
on
the
window
sill,
when
we
feather
our
nest
Je
dormirai
avec
les
pieds
sur
le
rebord
de
la
fenêtre,
quand
on
plume
notre
nid
We've
got
a
garage
but
don't
forget,
we
can't
afford
a
car
just
yet
On
a
un
garage,
mais
n'oublie
pas,
on
ne
peut
pas
encore
s'offrir
une
voiture
We

up
for
a
sewing
machine,

machine
à
coudre,

or
four
more
Il
n'y
aura
que
toi
et
moi,
et
peut-être
trois
ou
quatre
de
plus
We'll
keep
our
garden
up

On

propre,
Slugs

snails
I'll
let
you
catch
Les
limaces
et
les
escargots,
je
te
laisserai
les
attraper
But
don't
muck
about
with
the
cabbage
patch,
when
we
feather
our
nest
Mais
ne
touche
pas
aux
choux,
quand
on
plume
notre
nid
The
parlour's
small,
Le
salon
est
petit,
Seven
feet
by
four,
we'll
take
our
piano

bits
I'm
sure
Sept
pieds
sur
quatre,
on
décomposera
notre
piano,
je
suis
sûr

poussera
toutes
les
pièces
sous
le
plancher,
quand
on
plume
notre
nid

t'arroserai
