Lyrics and translation Margaret Whiting - A Cock - Eyed Optimist
When
the
sky
is
a
bright
canary
yellow
Quand
le
ciel
est
d'un
jaune
canari
éclatant
I
forget
every
cloud
I've
ever
seen
J'oublie
tous
les
nuages
que
j'ai
jamais
vus
So
they
call
me
a
cockeyed
optimist
Alors
ils
m'appellent
une
optimiste
bébête
Immature
and
incurably
green
Immature
et
incurablement
verte
I
have
heard
people
rant
and
rave
and
bellow
J'ai
entendu
des
gens
râler,
jurer
et
beugler
That
we're
done
and
we
might
as
well
be
dead
Que
nous
en
avons
fini
et
que
nous
pourrions
aussi
bien
être
morts
But
I'm
only
a
cockeyed
optimist
Mais
je
ne
suis
qu'une
optimiste
bébête
And
I
can't
get
it
into
my
head
Et
je
n'arrive
pas
à
me
mettre
ça
dans
la
tête
I
hear
the
human
race
J'entends
que
la
race
humaine
Is
falling
on
its
face
Est
en
train
de
tomber
sur
sa
face
And
hasn't
very
far
to
go
Et
qu'elle
n'a
pas
très
loin
à
aller
But
every
whippoorwill
Mais
chaque
oiseau
de
nuit
Is
selling
me
a
bill
Me
raconte
une
histoire
And
telling
me
it
just
ain't
so
Et
me
dit
que
ce
n'est
pas
vrai
I
could
say
life
is
just
a
bowl
of
Jello
Je
pourrais
dire
que
la
vie
n'est
qu'un
bol
de
gelée
And
appear
more
intelligent
and
smart
Et
paraître
plus
intelligente
et
plus
maline
But
I'm
stuck
like
a
dope
Mais
je
suis
coincée
comme
une
idiote
With
a
thing
called
hope
Avec
une
chose
appelée
l'espoir
And
I
can't
get
it
out
of
my
heart
Et
je
n'arrive
pas
à
le
faire
sortir
de
mon
cœur
Not
this
heart
Pas
ce
cœur-là

life
