de
le
cacher
She

on
the
soles
of
her

il
est
un
pauvre
garçon
Empty

Vide
comme

Empty

a
pocket
with
nothin'
to

People

es
folle
She
got
diamonds
on
the
soles
of
her
shoes
Tu
as
des
diamants
sur
la
semelle
de
tes
chaussures
Well,
that′s
one
way
to
lose
these
walkin'
blues
Eh
bien,
c'est
une
façon
de
perdre
le
blues
de
la
marche
Diamonds
on
the
soles
of
her
shoes
Des
diamants
sur
la
semelle
de
tes
chaussures
She
was
physically
forgotten
Tu
étais
physiquement
oubliée
But
then
she
slipped
into
my
pocket
with
my
car
keys
Mais
ensuite,
tu
as
glissé
dans
ma
poche
avec
mes
clés
de
voiture
She
said,
"You′ve
taken
me
for
granted
because
I
please
you
Tu
as
dit
: "Tu
m'as
prise
pour
acquise
parce
que
je
te
fais
plaisir
Wearin'
these
diamonds"
En
portant
ces
diamants"
And
I
could
say
(oo-oo-oo-ooh,
oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh)
Et
je
pourrais
dire
(oo-oo-oo-ooh,
oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh)
As
if
everybody
knows
what
I′m
talkin'
about
Comme
si
tout
le
monde
savait
de
quoi
je
parle
As
if
everybody
here
would
know
what
I
was
talkin′
about
Comme
si
tout
le
monde
ici
savait
de
quoi
je
parlais
Talk
about
diamonds
on
the
soles
of
her
shoes
Parler
de
diamants
sur
la
semelle
de
tes
chaussures
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh,
ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh,
ooh-ooh
She
makes
the
sign
of
a
teaspoon
Tu
fais
le
signe
d'une
cuillère
à
café
He
makes
the
sign
of
a
wave
Il
fait
le
signe
d'une
vague
The
poor
boy
changes
clothes,
and
he
puts
on
after-shave
Le
pauvre
garçon
change
de
vêtements,
et
il
met
de
l'eau
de
Cologne
To
compensate
for
his
ordinary
shoes
Pour
compenser
ses
chaussures
ordinaires
And
she
said,
"Honey,
take
me
dancin'"
Et
tu
as
dit
: "Chéri,
emmène-moi
danser"
But
they
ended
up
by
sleeping
in
a
doorway
Mais
ils
ont
fini
par
dormir
dans
une
entrée
By
the
bodegas
and
the
lights
on
Upper
Broadway
Près
des
bodegas

des
lumières
d'Upper
Broadway
Wearing
diamonds
on
the

shoes
