Lyrics and translation The Ink Spots - In a Shanty in Old Shanty Town




In a Shanty in Old Shanty Town
Dans une baraque dans la vieille ville de baraques
It's only a shanty
Ce n'est qu'une baraque
In old Shanty Town
Dans la vieille ville de baraques
The roof is so slanty
Le toit est si incliné
It touches the ground
Il touche le sol
Just a tumbled down shack
Juste une baraque en ruine
By an old railroad track
Près d'une vieille voie ferrée
Like a millionaire's mansion
Comme le manoir d'un millionnaire
It's calling me back
Il m'appelle en arrière
I'd give up my palace
Je renoncerais à mon palais
If I were a king
Si j'étais un roi
It's more than a palace
C'est plus qu'un palais
It's my everything
C'est tout pour moi
There's a queen waiting there
Il y a une reine qui m'attend là-bas
With a silvery crown
Avec une couronne d'argent
In a shanty in old Shanty Town
Dans une baraque dans la vieille ville de baraques
Honey child, it's only a shanty
Ma chérie, ce n'est qu'une baraque
In old Shanty Town
Dans la vieille ville de baraques
The roof is so slanty
Le toit est si incliné
Why It's just about fallin' down
Pourquoi, il est sur le point de s'effondrer
It's just a tumbled down shack
C'est juste une baraque en ruine
In fact, it's way back by the railroad track
En fait, c'est tout au fond, près de la voie ferrée
A millionaire's mansion
Le manoir d'un millionnaire
Oh, baby, It's calling me back
Oh, bébé, il m'appelle en arrière
Shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty
Baraque, baraque, baraque, baraque, baraque, baraque
Shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty, shanty
Baraque, baraque, baraque, baraque, baraque, baraque
Shanty town
Ville de baraques
The roof is so slanty
Le toit est si incliné
It touches the ground
Il touche le sol
Where the roof's in
Où le toit est
And comes back down
Et revient en bas
It goes all around and round
Il tourne tout autour et autour
So long, farewell
Au revoir, adieu
To you, goodbye
À toi, au revoir
Goodnight, to old shanty town
Bonne nuit, à la vieille ville de baraques
