Lyrics and translation Louis Jordan - You Rascal You (23 August 1950, New York)

You Rascal You (23 August 1950, New York)

Tu es un vaurien (23 août 1950, New York)

Now I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you, uh-huh

Maintenant, je serai content quand tu seras mort, mon vaurien, ouais

I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you, oh yeah

Je serai content quand tu seras mort, mon vaurien, oh oui

Well, I let you into my home; you gonna leave my woman alone

Bon, je t'ai laissé entrer chez moi ; tu vas laisser ma femme tranquille

I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you

Je serai content quand tu seras mort, mon vaurien

Now I'll be glad when you die, you rascal, you, uh-huh

Maintenant, je serai content quand tu mourras, mon vaurien, ouais

I'll be glad, oh, I'll be tickled to death when you leave this earth--it's true, oh yeah

Je serai content, oh, je serai ravi de mort quand tu quitteras cette terre, c'est vrai, oh oui

When you're lyin' down six feet deep, no more fried chicken will you eat

Quand tu seras allongé six pieds sous terre, tu ne mangeras plus de poulet frit

I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you, oh yeah

Je serai content quand tu seras mort, mon vaurien, oh oui

Ah, you just ain't no good, oh, you dog

Ah, tu n'es pas bon, oh, mon chien

Now listen here: I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you, uh-huh

Maintenant écoute bien : je serai content quand tu seras mort, mon vaurien, ouais

I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you, oh yeah

Je serai content quand tu seras mort, mon vaurien, oh oui

I'll be standin' on the corner high when they drag your body by

Je serai debout sur le coin de la rue quand ils traîneront ton corps

I'll be glad when you're dead; you know I'm gonna be so happy when you're gone, you dog

Je serai content quand tu seras mort ; tu sais que je serai tellement heureux quand tu seras parti, mon chien

I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you

Je serai content quand tu seras mort, mon vaurien
