Lyrics and translation Mel Tormé - South America Take It Away




South America Take It Away
L'Amérique du Sud, reprends-le
Up here in the land of the hot-dog stand
Ici, au pays du stand de hot-dogs
The atom bomb and the Good Humor Man
De la bombe atomique et du vendeur de glaces
We think our South American neighbors are grand
On trouve nos voisins sud-américains formidables
We love 'em to beat the band
On les adore, c'est dingue
South America, baba-loo, baba-loo, ay-ee-eh, baba-loo
Amérique du Sud, baba-loo, baba-loo, ay-ee-eh, baba-loo
One favor you can do, ay-ee-eh, you can do
Une seule faveur, ay-ee-eh, que tu peux faire
You beautiful lands below
Tes terres magnifiques en bas
Don't know what you began
Je ne sais pas ce que tu as commencé
To put it plainly, I'm tired of shakin'
Pour le dire clairement, je suis fatigué de bouger
To that Pan-American plan
Sur ce plan pan-américain
Take back your Samba, ay!, your Rumba, ay!, your Conga, ay-yi-yi!
Reprends ta Samba, ay!, ton Rumba, ay!, ton Conga, ay-yi-yi!
I can't keep movin', ay!, my chassis, ay!, any longer, ay-yi-yi!
Je ne peux plus bouger, ay!, mon châssis, ay!, plus longtemps, ay-yi-yi!
Now maybe Latins, ay!, in their middles, ay!, are built stronger,
Maintenant, peut-être que les Latins, ay!, au milieu, ay!, sont plus forts,
Ay-yi-yi!
Ay-yi-yi!
But all this takin' to the quakin' and this makin' with the shakin'
Mais tout ce branlement et ce tremblement
Leaves me achin', ole!
Me font mal, mon vieux!
First shake around and settle there
D'abord, tu te secoues et tu te poses
Then you shake around and settle here
Puis tu te secoues et tu te poses ici
Then you shake around and settle there
Puis tu te secoues et tu te poses
That's enough, that's enough
Ça suffit, ça suffit
Take it back, my spine's outta-whack
Reprends-le, ma colonne vertébrale est en vrac
There's a strange click-clack
Il y a un drôle de clic-clac
In the back of my sacroilliac
Dans le fond de mon sacrum
Take back your Conga, ay!, your Samba, ay!, your Rumba, ay-yi-yi!
Reprends ton Conga, ay!, ta Samba, ay!, ton Rumba, ay-yi-yi!
Why can't you send us, ay!, a less strenu-, ay!, -ous number, ay-yi-
Pourquoi tu ne peux pas nous envoyer, ay!, un nombre moins épuis-, ay!, -ant, ay-yi-
Yi!
Yi!
I got more bumps now, ay!, than on a, ay!, cucumber, ay-yi-yi!
J'ai plus de bosses maintenant, ay!, que sur un, ay!, concombre, ay-yi-yi!
While all those Latin drums are cloppin', like a Jumpin' Jack I'm
Alors que tous ces tambours latins claquent, comme un Jumpin' Jack je suis
Hoppin' without stoppin', ole!
En train de sauter sans arrêt, mon vieux!
South America, take it away
Amérique du Sud, reprends-le
First you shake around and settle there (where?)
D'abord, tu te secoues et tu te poses (où?)
Then you shake around and settle here (oh, there)
Puis tu te secoues et tu te poses ici (oh, là)
And then you shake around and settle there (why Bing!)
Et puis tu te secoues et tu te poses (pourquoi Bing!)
That's enough, that's enough
Ça suffit, ça suffit
Take it back, my spine's outta-whack
Reprends-le, ma colonne vertébrale est en vrac
There's a strange click-clack
Il y a un drôle de clic-clac
In the back of my sacroiliac
Dans le fond de mon sacrum
Oh, my achin' back
Oh, mon dos qui me fait mal
Take back your Conga, ay!, your Samba, ay!, your Rumba, ay-yi-yi!
Reprends ton Conga, ay!, ta Samba, ay!, ton Rumba, ay-yi-yi!
Bring back the old days, ay!, of dancing I remember, ay-yi-yi!
Ramène les vieux jours, ay!, de la danse que je me souviens, ay-yi-yi!
My hips are cracking, I am shrieking "Ay-Carumba!", ay-yi-yi!
Mes hanches craquent, je crie "Ay-Carumba!", ay-yi-yi!
I got a wriggle and a diddle and a jiggle like a fiddle in my
J'ai une gigue et un tralala et un remous comme un violon dans mon
Middle, ole!
Milieu, mon vieux!
This fancy swishin' imposition wears out all of my transmission
Cette imposition de mouvements fantaisistes épuise toute ma transmission
Ammunition, ole!
Munition, mon vieux!
Though I like neighborly relations all these crazy new gyrations try
Même si j'aime les relations amicales, toutes ces nouvelles folles danses mettent à l'épreuve
My patience, ole!
Ma patience, mon vieux!
South America, take it away!
Amérique du Sud, reprends-le!
