Saturday Night Fish Fry, Pts. 1 & 2 - Louis Jordantranslation in French
Now
if
you've
ever
been
down
to
New
Orleans
Si
tu
es
déjà
allée
à
la
Nouvelle-Orléans,
Then
you
can
understand
just
what
I
mean
Alors
tu
peux
comprendre
ce
que
je
veux
dire.
Now
all
through
the
week
it's
quiet
as
a
mouse
Toute
la
semaine,
c'est
calme
comme
dans
un
musée,
But
on
Saturday
night
they
go
from
house
to
house
Mais
le
samedi
soir,
ils
vont
de
maison
en
maison.
You
don't
have
to
pay
the
usual
admission
Tu
n'as
pas
à
payer
l'entrée
habituelle
If
you're
a
cook,
or
a
waiter
or
a
good
musician
Si
tu
es
cuisinier,
serveur
ou
bon
musicien.
So
if
you
happen
to
be
just
passin'
by
Alors
si
tu
passes
par
là,
Stop
in
at
the
Saturday
night
fish
fry
Arrête-toi
à
la
friture
de
poisson
du
samedi
soir.
It
was
rockin',
it
was
rockin'
C'était
la
folie,
c'était
la
folie,
You
never
seen
such
scufflin'
Tu
n'as
jamais
vu
autant
de
bousculades
And
shufflin'
'til
the
break
of
dawn
Et
de
danse
jusqu'au
petit
matin.
It
was
rockin',
it
was
rockin'
C'était
la
folie,
c'était
la
folie,
You
never
seen
such
scufflin'
Tu
n'as
jamais
vu
autant
de
bousculades
And
shufflin'
'til
the
break
of
dawn
Et
de
danse
jusqu'au
petit
matin.
Now
my
buddy
and
me
was
on
the
main
stem
Mon
pote
et
moi,
on
était
sur
l'artère
principale,
Foolin'
around
just
me
and
him
On
flânait,
juste
lui
et
moi.
We
decided
we
could
use
a
little
something
to
eat
On
s'est
dit
qu'un
petit
quelque
chose
à
manger
nous
ferait
du
bien,
So
we
went
to
a
house
on
Rampart
street
Alors
on
est
allés
dans
une
maison
sur
Rampart
Street.
We
knocked
on
the
door
and
it
opened
with
ease
On
a
frappé
à
la
porte
et
elle
s'est
ouverte
facilement,
And
a
lush
little
miss
said,
"Come
in,
please"
Et
une
jolie
petite
chose
a
dit
: "Entrez,
je
vous
en
prie."
And
before
we
could
even
bat
an
eye
Et
avant
même
qu'on
ait
pu
cligner
des
yeux,
We
were
right
in
the
middle
of
a
big
fish
fry
On
était
en
plein
milieu
d'une
grande
friture
de
poisson.
It
was
rockin',
it
was
rockin'
C'était
la
folie,
c'était
la
folie,
You
never
seen
such
scufflin'
Tu
n'as
jamais
vu
autant
de
bousculades
And
shufflin'
'til
the
break
of
dawn
Et
de
danse
jusqu'au
petit
matin.
It
was
rockin',
it
was
rockin'
C'était
la
folie,
c'était
la
folie,
You
never
seen
such
scufflin'
Tu
n'as
jamais
vu
autant
de
bousculades
And
shufflin'
'til
the
break
of
dawn
Et
de
danse
jusqu'au
petit
matin.
Now
the
folks
was
havin'
the
time
of
their
life
Les
gens
s'amusaient
comme
des
fous,
And
Sam
was
jivin'
Jimmy's
wife
Et
Sam
draguait
la
femme
de
Jimmy.
And
over
in
the
corner
was
a
beat
up
grand
Et
dans
un
coin,
il
y
avait
un
vieux
piano,
Being
played
by
a
big
fat
piano
man
Joué
par
un
gros
pianiste.
Now,
some
of
the
chicks
wore
expensive
frocks
Certaines
filles
portaient
des
robes
chères,
Some
of
them
had
on
bobbie
socks
D'autres
avaient
des
chaussettes
courtes,
But
everybody
was
nice
and
high
Mais
tout
le
monde
était
bien
joyeux
At
this
particular
Saturday
night
fish
fry
À
cette
friture
de
poisson
du
samedi
soir.
It
was
rockin',
it
was
rockin'
C'était
la
folie,
c'était
la
folie,
You
never
seen
such
scufflin'
Tu
n'as
jamais
vu
autant
de
bousculades
And
shufflin'
'til
the
break
of
dawn
Et
de
danse
jusqu'au
petit
matin.
It
was
rockin',
it
was
rockin'
C'était
la
folie,
c'était
la
folie,
You
never
seen
such
scufflin'
Tu
n'as
jamais
vu
autant
de
bousculades
And
shufflin'
'til
the
break
of
dawn
Et
de
danse
jusqu'au
petit
matin.
Now
my
buddy
and
me
we
fell
right
in
Mon
pote
et
moi,
on
s'est
joints
à
la
fête,
And
we
hollered,
"Let
the
joy
begin!"
Et
on
a
crié
: "Que
la
fête
commence
!".
Now,
we
figured
this
was
a
good
place
to
play
On
s'est
dit
que
c'était
un
bon
endroit
pour
s'amuser,
Cause
the
party
was
already
underway
Parce
que
la
fête
battait
déjà
son
plein.
But
all
of
the
sudden
the
lights
went
low
Mais
tout
à
coup,
les
lumières
se
sont
éteintes
And
everybody
made
straight
for
the
front
door
Et
tout
le
monde
s'est
précipité
vers
la
porte.
Man,
I
was
so
scared
I
didn't
know
where
to
go
J'avais
tellement
peur
que
je
ne
savais
pas
où
aller,
I
stood
right
there
then
I
fell
on
the
floor
Je
suis
resté
là
et
je
suis
tombé
par
terre.
It
was
rockin',
it
was
rockin'
C'était
la
folie,
c'était
la
folie,
You
never
seen
such
scufflin'
Tu
n'as
jamais
vu
autant
de
bousculades
And
shufflin'
'til
the
break
of
dawn
Et
de
danse
jusqu'au
petit
matin.
It
was
rockin',
it
was
rockin'
C'était
la
folie,
c'était
la
folie,
You
never
seen
such
scufflin'
Tu
n'as
jamais
vu
autant
de
bousculades
And
shufflin'
'til
the
break
of
dawn
Et
de
danse
jusqu'au
petit
matin.
Now
the
women
was
screamin'
and
jumpin'
and
yellin'
Les
femmes
criaient,
sautaient
et
hurlaient,
The
bottles
was
flyin',
and
the
fish
was
smellin'
Les
bouteilles
volaient
et
le
poisson
sentait
fort.
And
way
above
all
the
noise
we
made
Et
au
milieu
de
tout
ce
bruit,
Somebody
hollered,
"Better
get
outta
here,
this
is
a
raid!"
Quelqu'un
a
crié
: "Foutez
le
camp,
c'est
une
descente
!".
I
didn't
know
we
were
breaking
the
law
but
Je
ne
savais
pas
qu'on
enfreignait
la
loi,
mais
Somebody
reached
over
and
hit
me
on
the
jaw
Quelqu'un
m'a
frappé
à
la
mâchoire.
Now
they
had
us
blocked
off
from
front
to
back
On
était
bloqués
de
tous
les
côtés,
And
they
were
puttin'
'em
in
the
wagon
like
potato
sacks
Et
ils
nous
jetaient
dans
le
panier
à
salade
comme
des
sacs
de
pommes
de
terre.
It
was
rockin',
it
was
rockin'
C'était
la
folie,
c'était
la
folie,
You
never
seen
such
scufflin'
Tu
n'as
jamais
vu
autant
de
bousculades
And
shufflin'
'til
the
break
of
dawn
Et
de
danse
jusqu'au
petit
matin.
It
was
rockin',
it
was
rockin'
C'était
la
folie,
c'était
la
folie,
You
never
seen
such
scufflin'
Tu
n'as
jamais
vu
autant
de
bousculades
And
shufflin'
'til
the
break
of
dawn
Et
de
danse
jusqu'au
petit
matin.
I
knew
I
could
get
away
if
I
had
a
chance
Je
savais
que
je
pouvais
m'enfuir
si
j'en
avais
la
chance,
But
I
was
shakin'
like
I
had
the
St.
Vitus
dance
Mais
je
tremblais
comme
si
j'avais
la
danse
de
Saint-Guy.
Now
I
tried
to
crawl
in
under
a
bath
tab
J'ai
essayé
de
me
cacher
sous
une
baignoire,
When
a
policeman
said,
"Where
are
you
goin'
there,
bub?"
Quand
un
policier
a
dit
: "Où
vas-tu
comme
ça,
mon
gars
?".
Now
they
got
us
out
of
there
like
a
house
on
fire
Ils
nous
ont
sortis
de
là
comme
une
fusée,
And
put
us
all
in
the
black
Mariah
Et
nous
ont
mis
dans
le
panier
à
salade.
Now
they
might
have
missed
a
pitiful
few
Ils
ont
peut-être
manqué
quelques
malheureux,
But
they
got
both
me
and
my
buddy
too
Mais
ils
nous
ont
eus,
moi
et
mon
pote.
It
was
rockin',
it
was
rockin'
C'était
la
folie,
c'était
la
folie,
You
never
seen
such
scufflin'
Tu
n'as
jamais
vu
autant
de
bousculades
And
shufflin'
'til
the
break
of
dawn
Et
de
danse
jusqu'au
petit
matin.
It
was
rockin',
it
was
rockin'
C'était
la
folie,
c'était
la
folie,
You
never
seen
such
scufflin'
Tu
n'as
jamais
vu
autant
de
bousculades
And
shufflin'
'til
the
break
of
dawn
Et
de
danse
jusqu'au
petit
matin.
We
headed
for
jail
in
a
dazed
condition
On
s'est
retrouvés
en
prison,
complètement
perdus,
They
booked
each
one
of
us
on
suspicion
Ils
nous
ont
mis
en
garde
à
vue
pour
suspicion.
Now
my
chick
came
down
and
with
my
bail
Ma
nana
est
venue
me
chercher
avec
ma
caution,
And
finally
got
me
outta
that
rotten
jail
Et
elle
a
fini
par
me
sortir
de
cette
maudite
prison.
Now
if
you
ever
want
to
get
a
fist
in
your
eye
Si
tu
veux
te
prendre
un
poing
dans
la
figure,
Just
mention
a
Saturday
Night
Fish
Fry
Parle-moi
encore
de
la
friture
de
poisson
du
samedi
soir.
I
don't
care
how
many
fish
in
the
sea
Je
me
fiche
du
nombre
de
poissons
dans
la
mer,
But
don't
ever
mention
a
fish
to
me
Mais
ne
me
parle
plus
jamais
de
poisson.
It
was
rockin',
it
was
rockin'
C'était
la
folie,
c'était
la
folie,
You
never
seen
such
scufflin'
Tu
n'as
jamais
vu
autant
de
bousculades
And
shufflin'
'til
the
break
of
dawn
Et
de
danse
jusqu'au
petit
matin.
It
was
rockin',
it
was
rockin'
C'était
la
folie,
c'était
la
folie,
You
never
seen
such
scufflin'
Tu

And
shufflin'

Et

danse
jusqu'au

matin.
Give
me
one
of
them
there
fish
sandwiches
Donne-moi

de
ces
sandwichs
au
poisson,
Get
away
from
there
boy
Tire-toi
de
là,
mon
gars.
Yowza!
Yowza!
