Lyrics and translation Louis Armstrong and His All Stars - Mack the Knife (Live at Newport Jazz Festival 1956)




Mack the Knife (Live at Newport Jazz Festival 1956)
Mack the Knife (Live at Newport Jazz Festival 1956)
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
Oh, le requin, ma chérie, a de telles dents, chérie
And it shows them pearly white
Et il les montre bien blanches
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
Juste un couteau à cran d'arrêt a le vieux MacHeath, chérie
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight
Et il le garde, ah, hors de vue
Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Tu sais, quand ce requin mord avec ses dents, chérie
Scarlet billows start to spread
Des flots écarlates commencent à se répandre
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
Des gants élégants, oh, porte le vieux MacHeath, chérie
So there's never, never a trace of red
Donc il n'y a jamais, jamais de trace de rouge
Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, whoo sunny morning, un huh
Maintenant sur le trottoir, hein, hein, wouah matin ensoleillé, un hein
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
Gît un corps qui suinte la vie, eek
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Et quelqu'un se faufile dans le coin
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
Est-ce que ce quelqu'un pourrait être Mack the Knife ?
There's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river dontcha know
Il y a un remorqueur, hein, hein, en bas de la rivière, tu sais
Where a cement bag's just a drooppin' on down
un sac de ciment est en train de tomber
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Oh, ce ciment est juste, il est pour le poids, chérie
Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town
Cinq te feront gagner dix que le vieux Macky est de retour en ville
Now did ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
Maintenant, as-tu entendu parler de Louie Miller ? Il a disparu, chérie
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
Après avoir retiré tout son argent durement gagné
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
Et maintenant MacHeath dépense comme un marin
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
Serait-ce que notre garçon a fait quelque chose de précipité ?
Now Jenny Diver, ho, ho, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
Maintenant Jenny Diver, ho, ho, ouais, Sukey Tawdry
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya et la vieille Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Oh, la file se forme à droite, chérie
Now that Macky's back in town
Maintenant que Macky est de retour en ville
I said Jenny Diver, whoa, Sukey Tawdry
Je t'ai dit Jenny Diver, whoa, Sukey Tawdry
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Faites attention à Miss Lotte Lenya et la vieille Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Oui, cette file se forme à droite, chérie
Now that Macky's back in town
Maintenant que Macky est de retour en ville
Look out, old Macky's back!!
Faites attention, le vieux Macky est de retour !
