Lyrics and translation Louis Jordan - Friendship




Friendship
Amitié
Ain't that Zeke sittin' over there? (Yeah, that's him)
Ce n'est pas Zeke qui est assis là-bas ? (Oui, c'est lui)
Zeke, you dirty so and so, I wanna talk to you, Zeke.
Zeke, tu es un sale type, je veux te parler, Zeke.
You ain't no good, and I ain't no refrigerator.
Tu n'es bon à rien et je ne suis pas un réfrigérateur.
I can't keep nothin'. Pay attention to me.
Je ne peux rien garder. Fais attention à moi.
Now listen, old man, you and me been friends for a long time,
Écoute, mon vieux, nous sommes amis depuis longtemps,
And up 'til now we've been gettin' along just fine. But there's a few
Et jusqu'à présent, tout allait bien. Mais il y a quelques
Little things I gotta pull your coat about. You pay attention to me
Petites choses dont je dois te parler. Fais attention à moi
And we ain't gonna fall out.
Et on ne va pas se fâcher.
I work nights and I think you've been very kind comin' over and
Je travaille la nuit et je pense que tu as été très gentil de venir et
Stayin' with my wife all the time. But must you use my razor blades?
De rester avec ma femme tout le temps. Mais est-ce que tu dois utiliser mes lames de rasoir ?
Buy some, they're only a dime. You call that friendship?
Achète-en, elles ne coûtent qu'une dime. Tu appelles ça de l'amitié ?
And stop doin' them little dirty tricks like jammin' the chair up
Et arrête de faire ces petites bêtises comme coincer la chaise
Against the door. You kept me out last night until half past four.
Contre la porte. Tu m'as empêché de rentrer hier soir jusqu'à quatre heures du matin.
I know you didn't mean any harm, but that's enough to make anybody sore.
Je sais que tu ne voulais pas faire de mal, mais c'est assez pour rendre n'importe qui amer.
You call that friendship?
Tu appelles ça de l'amitié ?
What about that night you came and took my wife to the show? I asked her
Qu'en est-il de cette nuit tu es venu et as emmené ma femme au cinéma ? Je lui ai demandé
What movie she saw and she said she didn't know. I told her she couldn't see so good,
Quel film elle avait vu et elle a dit qu'elle ne savait pas. Je lui ai dit qu'elle ne voyait pas bien,
So don't sit back that far no more. (You ain't no good). That's right, Zeke,
Alors ne te mets plus si loin. (Tu n'es pas bon). C'est vrai, Zeke,
You ain't no good.
Tu n'es pas bon à rien.
Now I don't get mad like the average cat would do, when she buys me a shirt
Maintenant, je ne me fâche pas comme le chat moyen le ferait, quand elle m'achète une chemise
And she buys you two. But when she feeds you chicken and steak, and give me Irish stew,
Et elle t'en achète deux. Mais quand elle te nourrit de poulet et de steak, et qu'elle me donne du ragoût irlandais,
You're a lizard in the bushes, that's what you are, that's what you are.
Tu es un lézard dans les buissons, c'est ce que tu es, c'est ce que tu es.
And you stop feedin' her that candy and sweet stuff to eat. That jive is makin'
Et arrête de lui donner toutes ces bonbons et ces sucreries. Ce truc lui fait
Her talk in her sleep. She kept me awake all last night mumblin' your name
Parler dans son sommeil. Elle m'a tenu éveillé toute la nuit en marmonnant ton nom
And sayin' "sure is sweet".
Et en disant "c'est tellement doux".
You ain't no friend of mine, Zeke. No friend of mine. But I will tell you, Zeke,
Tu n'es pas mon ami, Zeke. Pas mon ami. Mais je vais te dire, Zeke,
I'm real happy. I'm happy as can be about that big insurance policy you and my wife took
Je suis vraiment heureux. Je suis heureux comme un poisson dans l'eau de cette grosse police d'assurance que tu as souscrite avec ma femme
Out on me. But what's all that arsenic doin' round the house? That's what I can't see. Zeke,
Sur moi. Mais qu'est-ce que tout cet arsenic fait dans la maison ? C'est ce que je ne comprends pas. Zeke,
You tryin' to poison something? That's what you don', you tryin' to poison somethin'.
Tu essaies d'empoisonner quelque chose ? C'est ce que tu fais, tu essaies d'empoisonner quelque chose.
And what about that night I came home and caught that lipstick on your face.
Et qu'en est-il de cette nuit je suis rentré à la maison et j'ai trouvé ce rouge à lèvres sur ton visage.
Yo and my wife broke up the fun and your wrastlin' all over the place. And you told me
Toi et ma femme vous êtes amusés et vous avez lutté partout. Et tu m'as dit
You's playin' Cowboy and Indian and you was Chief Rain In the Face. You don't look like
Que tu jouais au cow-boy et à l'Indien et que tu étais Chef Pluie Au Visage. Tu ne ressembles pas
No Indian to me, but I'm gonna scalp ya. That's what's gonna happen. I'm gonna scalp ya.
À un Indien pour moi, mais je vais te scalper. C'est ce qui va arriver. Je vais te scalper.
And even when we went on our honeymoon, the bell boy told me you rented the very next room.
Et même quand on est parti en lune de miel, le portier m'a dit que tu avais loué la chambre juste à côté.
I know you my friend, but I didn't wanna see you that soon. Don't you never speak to me no more,
Je sais que tu es mon ami, mais je ne voulais pas te voir si tôt. Ne me parle plus jamais,
Zeke. do you call that friendship? (No! No!) You ain't no friend of mine.
Zeke. Tu appelles ça de l'amitié ? (Non ! Non !) Tu n'es pas mon ami.
