Lyrics and translation James Brown - There Was a Time
There
was
a
day,
there
was
a
time
Il
y
a
eu
un
jour,
il
y
a
eu
un
moment
When
I
used
to
play
Où
j'avais
l'habitude
de
jouer
There
was
a
time
when
I
used
to
play
Il
y
a
eu
un
temps
où
j'avais
l'habitude
de
jouer
But
take
me
now,
baby,
don't
worry
about
later
Mais
prends-moi
maintenant,
bébé,
ne
t'inquiète
pas
pour
plus
tard
Teach
the
dance
I
used
to
do
Apprends-moi
la
danse
que
je
faisais
They
call
it
the
Mashed
Potato
Ils
l'appellent
la
Mashed
Potato
There
was
a
day,
now
dig
this
Il
y
a
eu
un
jour,
maintenant
creuse
ça
There
was
a
day,
they
call
it
the
Jerk
Il
y
a
eu
un
jour,
ils
l'appellent
le
Jerk
Everybody
relax
and
watch
me
work
Tout
le
monde
se
détend
et
me
regarde
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,
GA
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
with
you
On
se
retrouve
tous
à
temps,
pour
le
rythme
avec
toi
So
come
and
walk
Alors
viens
et
marche
There
was
a
day
that
I
used
to
do
Il
y
a
eu
un
jour
où
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
Je
ne
fais
peut-être
pas
la
danse
aussi
bien
que
toi
But
baby,
you
can
bet
your
bottom
dollar
Mais
bébé,
tu
peux
parier
ton
dernier
sou
That
you
never
hear
me
holler
Que
tu
ne
me
verras
jamais
crier
I
do
the
best
that
I
can
do
Je
fais
de
mon
mieux
There
was
a
time,
sometimes
I
dance
Il
y
a
eu
un
temps,
parfois
je
danse
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
