Lyrics and translation Louis Armstrong - It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)




It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)
Ça ne veut rien dire (s'il n'y a pas ce swing)
What good is melody, what good is music
À quoi sert la mélodie, à quoi sert la musique
If it ain′t possessin' something sweet?
Si elle ne possède pas quelque chose de doux ?
Nah, it ain′t the melody and it ain't the music
Non, ce n'est pas la mélodie et ce n'est pas la musique
There's something else that makes this tune complete
Il y a autre chose qui rend ce morceau complet
Yes, it don′t mean a thing, if it ain′t got that swing
Oui, ça ne veut rien dire, s'il n'y a pas ce swing
Well, it don't mean a thing, all you got to do is sing
Eh bien, ça ne veut rien dire, tout ce que tu as à faire, c'est chanter
It makes no difference if it′s sweet or hot
Cela ne fait aucune différence si c'est doux ou chaud
Just give that rhythm everything you got
Donne juste à ce rythme tout ce que tu as
Yes, it don't mean a thing, if it ain′t got that swing
Oui, ça ne veut rien dire, s'il n'y a pas ce swing
It don't mean a thing, don′t mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
Ça ne veut rien dire, ça ne veut rien dire s'il n'y a pas ce swing
I said, it don't mean a thing, if it ain′t got that swing
Je te dis, ça ne veut rien dire, s'il n'y a pas ce swing
Nah, it makes no difference if it′s sweet or hot
Non, ça ne fait aucune différence si c'est doux ou chaud
Just give that rhythm everything you got
Donne juste à ce rythme tout ce que tu as
Don't mean a thing, boy, if it ain′t that a swing
Ça ne veut rien dire, mon chéri, si ce n'est pas ce swing
