Lyrics and translation Iggy Pop feat. Michel Legrand - The Little Drummer Boy

The Little Drummer Boy

Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum

Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum

So to honour Him, pa rum pum pum pum
When we come (pa rum pum pum pum)
(Rum pum pum pum)

Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That′s fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum

Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum
On my drum? (Pa rum pum pum pum)
(Rum pum pum pum)

Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum

Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum

Me and my drum
Ra pa pum pum pum
Ra pa pum pum pum

Ra pa pum pum pum
Ra pa pum pum pum

Le Petit Tambour

Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum

Viens me disait-il, pa rum pum pum pum
Voir un nouveau Roi né, pa rum pum pum pum
Nos plus beaux cadeaux apportons, pa rum pum pum pum
Les déposer devant le Roi, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum

Pour l'honorer, pa rum pum pum pum
Quand nous viendrons (pa rum pum pum pum)
(Rum pum pum pum)

Petit Enfant, pa rum pum pum pum
Je suis un pauvre garçon aussi, pa rum pum pum pum
Je n'ai aucun cadeau à offrir, pa rum pum pum pum
Qui soit digne d'être donné au Roi, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum

Jouerai-je pour toi, pa rum pum pum pum
Sur mon tambour ? (Pa rum pum pum pum)
(Rum pum pum pum)

Marie acquiesça, pa rum pum pum pum
Le bœuf et l'agneau marquaient le rythme, pa rum pum pum pum
Je jouai mon tambour pour Lui, pa rum pum pum pum
Je jouai le mieux que je pus pour Lui, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum

Alors Il me sourit, pa rum pum pum pum
Moi et mon tambour

Moi et mon tambour
Ra pa pum pum pum
Ra pa pum pum pum

Ra pa pum pum pum
Ra pa pum pum pum
