Lyrics and translation Jo Stafford - The Gentleman Is A Dope
The
gentleman
is
a
dope,
a
man
of
many
faults
Le
gentilhomme
est
un
idiot,
un
homme
plein
de
défauts
A
clumsy
Joe
who
wouldn't
know
a
Rhumba
from
a
Waltz
Un
maladroit
qui
ne
saurait
distinguer
une
Rumba
d'une
Valse
The
gentleman
is
a
dope
and
not
my
cup
of
tea
Le
gentilhomme
est
un
idiot
et
ne
correspond
pas
à
mon
goût
(Why
do
I
get
in
a
dither?
He
doesn't
belong
to
me)
(Pourquoi
suis-je
si
troublée
? Il
ne
m'appartient
pas)
The
gentleman
isn't
bright;
he
doesn't
know
the
score
Le
gentilhomme
n'est
pas
brillant
; il
ne
connaît
pas
le
score
A
Cake
will
come;
he'll
take
a
crumb
and
never
ask
for
more
Un
gâteau
arrive
; il
prendra
une
miette
et
ne
demandera
pas
plus
The
gentleman's
eyes
are
blue,
but
little
do
they
see
Les
yeux
du
gentilhomme
sont
bleus,
mais
ils
ne
voient
pas
grand-chose
(Why
am
I
beating
my
brains
out?
He
doesn't
belong
to
me)
(Pourquoi
me
creuse-t-on
la
tête
? Il
ne
m'appartient
pas)
He's
somebody
else's
problem;
she's
welcome
to
the
guy
Il
est
le
problème
de
quelqu'un
d'autre
; elle
est
la
bienvenue
avec
lui
She'll
never
understand
him
half
as
well
as
I
Elle
ne
le
comprendra
jamais
aussi
bien
que
moi
The
gentleman
is
a
dope;
he
isn't
very
smart
Le
gentilhomme
est
un
idiot
; il
n'est
pas
très
intelligent
He's
just
a
lug
you
like
to
hug
and
hold
against
your
heart
Il
est
juste
un
lourdaud
que
tu
aimes
serrer
dans
tes
bras
et
tenir
contre
ton
cœur
The
gentleman
is
a
dope;
doesn't
know
how
happy
he
could
be
Le
gentilhomme
est
un
idiot
; il
ne
sait
pas
combien
il
pourrait
être
heureux
Look
at
me
crying
my
eyes
out
as
if
he
belonged
to
me
Regarde-moi
pleurer
à
chaudes
larmes
comme
s'il
m'appartenait
As
if;
he'll
never
belong
to
me
Comme
s'il
allait
jamais
m'appartenir
