Lyrics and translation Lena Horne - The Captain and His Men
The Captain and His Men
Le Capitaine et ses hommes
Here
comes
The
Captain
And
His
Men,
Voici
le
Capitaine
et
ses
hommes,
Brave
little
soldiers
under
ten,
De
braves
petits
soldats
de
moins
de
dix
ans,
Dishpans,
broomsticks
all
in
view,
Des
bassines,
des
balais,
tout
est
en
vue,
Here
comes
the
Captain
and
his
crew!
Voici
le
Capitaine
et
son
équipage !
See
that
commander,
how
he
struts,
Regarde
ce
commandant,
comme
il
se
pavane,
Followed
by
the
neighbors'
barking
mutts,
Suivi
par
les
chiens
qui
aboient
des
voisins,
What
a
commotion,
biff,
boom,
bang!
Quelle
commotion,
boum,
boum,
bang !
Here
comes
the
Captain
and
his
gang!
Voici
le
Capitaine
et
sa
bande !
The
first
in
line
is
Private
Brown,
Le
premier
de
la
ligne
est
le
Soldat
Brown,
Cute
little
patches
fallin'
down,
De
jolis
petits
patchs
tombent,
Tramp,
tramp,
tramp
as
they
go
along,
Tramp,
tramp,
tramp,
comme
ils
avancent,
Tramp,
tramp,
tramp,
there
must
be
somethin'
wrong!
Tramp,
tramp,
tramp,
il
doit
y
avoir
quelque
chose
qui
ne
va
pas !
Here
comes
The
Captain
And
His
Men,
Voici
le
Capitaine
et
ses
hommes,
Followed
by
his
hungry
men,
Suivi
par
ses
hommes
affamés,
The
meals
are
served
and
the
prayers
are
said,
Les
repas
sont
servis
et
les
prières
sont
dites,
There
goes
the
Captain
off
to
bed!
Le
Capitaine
va
se
coucher !
Ice
cream
is
his
favorite
dish,
La
crème
glacée
est
son
plat
préféré,
He
breaks
a
chicken
bone
and
he
makes
a
wish,
Il
casse
un
os
de
poulet
et
fait
un
voeu,
Ice
cream
is
his
favorite
dish,
La
crème
glacée
est
son
plat
préféré,
But
how
he
really
goes
for
fish!
Mais
comme
il
aime
vraiment
le
poisson !
Bump-ditty-ump-doo-ee,
went
the
Captain,
Bump-ditty-ump-doo-ee,
le
Capitaine
est
allé,
Bump-ditty-ump-doo-ee,
went
the
Captain,
Bump-ditty-ump-doo-ee,
le
Capitaine
est
allé,
Bump-ditty-ump-doo-ee,
went
the
Captain,
Bump-ditty-ump-doo-ee,
le
Capitaine
est
allé,
There
goes
the
Captain
off
to
bed.
Le
Capitaine
va
se
coucher.
Bump-ditty-ump-doo-ee,
went
the
Captain,
Bump-ditty-ump-doo-ee,
le
Capitaine
est
allé,
Now
I
lay
me
down
to
sleep,
Maintenant
je
me
couche
pour
dormir,
A
bag
of
peanuts
at
my
feet,
Un
sac
de
cacahuètes
à
mes
pieds,
If
I
should
die
before
I
wake,
Si
je
devais
mourir
avant
de
me
réveiller,
You
know
I
died
with
a
tummy-ache,
Tu
sais
que
je
suis
mort
avec
un
mal
de
ventre,
There
goes
the
Captain
off
to
bed,
Le
Capitaine
va
se
coucher,
There
goes
the
Captain
off
to
bed!
Le
Capitaine
va
se
coucher !
