Lyrics and translation James Brown - There Was A Time - Single Version
There
was
a
day
Il
y
a
eu
un
jour
There
was
a
time
Il
était
une
fois
When
I
used
to
date
Quand
j'avais
l'habitude
de
sortir
avec
toi
There
was
a
time
when
I
used
to
praise
Il
était
une
fois
où
j'avais
l'habitude
de
te
louer
But
dig
me
now
Mais
regarde-moi
maintenant
Baby,
don't
worry
about
later
Chérie,
ne
t'inquiète
pas
pour
plus
tard
Dig
the
dance
I
used
to
do
Regarde
la
danse
que
j'avais
l'habitude
de
faire
They
call
her
Mashed
Potatoes
Ils
l'appellent
Mashed
Potatoes
There
was
a
day
Il
y
a
eu
un
jour
Now
dig
this
Maintenant,
écoute
ça
There
was
a
dance
Il
y
avait
une
danse
They
call
a
Jerk
Ils
appellent
ça
le
Jerk
Everybody
relax
and
watch
me
work
Tout
le
monde
se
détend
et
regarde-moi
travailler
In
my
hometown
where
I
used
to
stay
Dans
ma
ville
natale
où
j'avais
l'habitude
de
rester
The
name
of
the
place
is
Augusta,
GA
Le
nom
de
l'endroit
est
Augusta,
Géorgie
Down
there
we
have
a
good
time
Là-bas,
on
s'amuse
bien
We
don't
talk
On
ne
parle
pas
We
all
get
together
in
time,
for
rhythm
then
we
do
On
se
retrouve
tous
à
temps,
pour
le
rythme,
puis
on
fait
The
camel
walk
La
marche
du
chameau
Lookey
here,
dig
this
Regarde
ça,
écoute
ça
Now
there
was
a
dance
that
I
used
to
do
Maintenant,
il
y
avait
une
danse
que
j'avais
l'habitude
de
faire
The
name
of
the
dance
Le
nom
de
la
danse
They
call
it
Boogaloo
Ils
l'appellent
le
Boogaloo
I
may
not
do
the
dance
as
well
as
you#VERSE
Je
ne
danse
peut-être
pas
aussi
bien
que
toi#VERSE
But
baby,
you
can
bet
your
bottom
dollar
Mais
chérie,
tu
peux
parier
ton
dernier
sou
You
never
hear
me
holler
Tu
ne
me
verras
jamais
crier
I'll
do
the
best
that
I
can
do
Je
ferai
de
mon
mieux
Lookey
here,
feeling
good
Regarde
ça,
je
me
sens
bien
There
was
a
time,
sometimes
I
dance,
lookey
here
Il
était
une
fois,
parfois
je
danse,
regarde
ça
Sometimes
I
dance,
sometimes
I
clown
Parfois
je
danse,
parfois
je
fais
le
clown
But
you
can
bet
you
haven't
seen
nothing
yet
Mais
tu
peux
parier
que
tu
n'as
encore
rien
vu
Until
you
see
me
do
the
James
Brown
Jusqu'à
ce
que
tu
me
voies
faire
le
James
Brown
