Lyrics and translation Laurie Anderson - Cartoon Song

Cartoon Song

Chanson de dessin animé

I was thinking the other day

L'autre jour, je me suis dit

What if cartoons got saved?

Et si les dessins animés étaient sauvés ?

They'd start singing praise

Ils se mettraient à chanter des louanges

In a whole new way

D'une toute nouvelle façon

Yea, I was thinking the other day

Oui, l'autre jour, je me suis dit

What if cartoons got saved?

Et si les dessins animés étaient sauvés ?

They'd start singing praise

Ils se mettraient à chanter des louanges

In a whole new way

D'une toute nouvelle façon

Fred and Wilma Flintstone sing

Fred et Wilma Flintstone chantent

Ya-ba-daba-lujah

Scooby-do and Shaggy

Scooby-Doo et Shaggy

Scooby-do-be-lujah

Scooby-doo-be-lujah

And the Jetson's dog named Astro

Et le chien des Jetson, Astro

Ra-ra-ru-jah

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Les Tortues Ninja

Cowabunga-lujah, dude

Cowabunga-lujah, mec

Then there's Kermit the Frog here,

Puis il y a Kermit la grenouille

Singing hi-ho-la-lujah

Qui chante hi-ho-la-lujah

And that little bald guy, Elmer Fudd

Et ce petit chauve, Elmer Fudd

Hallelujah, uh

Alléluia, uh

Oh that big ol' Moose and his friend Rocky,

Oh, ce grand élan et son ami Rocky

Ba-ya-ca-bujah

And our favorite bear named Yogi,

Et notre ours préféré, Yogi

Hi-a-baa-lujah

And There's all those little blue guys

Et tous ces petits gars bleus

And they'd sing.

Et ils chanteraient.

La-la-lalalala-lalala-lujah

Oh, how 'bout Beavis, and that other guy

Oh, que dirais-tu de Beavis, et cet autre mec

*Beep*

*Bip*

Now there's a point to this looney tune

Maintenant, il y a un sens à cette mélodie loufoque

I'm not an animaniac, but there's a lot of praising to do

Je ne suis pas un animaniac, mais il y a beaucoup de louanges à faire

And cartoons weren't made for that,

Et les dessins animés n'étaient pas faits pour ça,

It's our job. Oh, yeah

C'est notre travail. Oh, oui

So let's sing hallelujah (hallelujah)

Alors chantons alléluia (alléluia)

Hallelujah (hallelujah)

Alléluia (alléluia)

Hallelujah (hallelujah)

Alléluia (alléluia)

Let's sing hallelujah... (Let's sing hallelujah)

Chantons alléluia... (Chantons alléluia)

Hallelujah (hallelujah)?

Alléluia (alléluia) ?
