Lyrics and translation The Boswell Sisters - Was That the Human Thing to Do?
Never
thought
that
anyone
in
their
right
mind
Je
n'aurais
jamais
pensé
qu'une
personne
saine
d'esprit
Would
ever
treat
another
human
so
unkind
Pourrait
traiter
un
autre
être
humain
avec
autant
de
cruauté
Didn't
you
sneak
away
and
leave
a
note
behind?
N'as-tu
pas
filé
en
douce
en
laissant
un
mot
derrière
toi
?
Was
that
the
human
thing
to
do?
Est-ce
que
c'était
humain
à
faire
?
Always
thought
that
yours
was
such
a
heart
of
gold
J'ai
toujours
pensé
que
tu
avais
un
cœur
d'or
But
after
I
was
sold
on
all
the
tales
you
told
Mais
après
avoir
cru
à
toutes
tes
histoires
Didn't
you
let
your
kisses
turn
from
hot
to
cold?
N'as-tu
pas
laissé
tes
baisers
passer
du
chaud
au
froid
?
Was
that
the
human
thing
to
do?
Est-ce
que
c'était
humain
à
faire
?
Now
I'm
not
trying
to
patch
things
up
Je
n'essaie
pas
de
recoller
les
morceaux
What's
been
done
must
be
Ce
qui
est
fait
est
fait
Lord,
I
wouldn't
even
treat
a
pup
Mon
Dieu,
je
ne
traiterais
même
pas
un
chiot
The
way
you
treated
me
De
la
façon
dont
tu
m'as
traitée
How
could
anybody
be
so
darned
unfair?
Comment
quelqu'un
peut-il
être
si
injuste
?
You
let
me
hang
around
till
I
learned
to
care
Tu
m'as
laissée
traîner
jusqu'à
ce
que
j'apprenne
à
t'aimer
Didn't
you
even
laugh
and
leave
me
cryin'
there?
N'as-tu
même
pas
ri
et
m'as
laissée
pleurer
là-bas
?
Was
that
the
human
thing
to
do?
Est-ce
que
c'était
humain
à
faire
?
To
err
is
human,
I
heard
you
say
L'erreur
est
humaine,
j'ai
entendu
dire
Forgiveness
is
divine
Le
pardon
est
divin
But
all
the
sweet
things
that
you
may
say
Mais
toutes
les
belles
choses
que
tu
peux
dire
Can't
mend
this
heart
of
mine
Ne
peuvent
pas
réparer
mon
cœur
brisé
Never
thought
that
anyone
in
their
right
mind
Je
n'aurais
jamais
pensé
qu'une
personne
saine
d'esprit

Now
I
just
want
to
be
understood
Maintenant,
je
veux
juste
être
comprise
Won't
you
tell
me
how
could
anybody
be
so
darn
unfair
Ne

pas
me
dire
