Lyrics and translation The Kinks - Dandy - Mono

Dandy - Mono

Dandy, Dandy,

Where you gonna go now?

Où vas-tu maintenant ?

Who you gonna run to?

Vers qui vas-tu courir ?

All your little life

Toute ta vie

You're chasing all the girls.

Tu cours après toutes les filles.

They can't resist your smile.

Elles ne peuvent pas résister à ton sourire.

Oh, they long for Dandy, Dandy.

Oh, elles languissent pour Dandy, Dandy.

Checkin' out the ladies,

Tu regardes les filles,

Tickling their fancy,

Tu chatouilles leur fantaisie,

Pouring out your charm

Tu déverses ton charme

To meet your own demands,

Pour répondre à tes propres désirs,

And turn it off at will.

Et tu le coupes à volonté.

Oh, they long for Dandy, Dandy.

Oh, elles languissent pour Dandy, Dandy.

Knockin' on the back door,

Tu cognes à la porte arrière,

Climbing through the window,

Tu grimpe par la fenêtre,

Hubby's gone away,

Le mari est parti,

And while the cat's away

Et tant que le chat est absent

The mice are gonna play.

Les souris vont jouer.

Oh, you low down Dandy, Dandy.

Oh, tu es un Dandy, Dandy, malhonnête.

Dandy

Dandy, you know you're moving much too fast,

Dandy, tu sais que tu vas beaucoup trop vite,

And Dandy, you know you can't escape the past.

Et Dandy, tu sais que tu ne peux pas échapper au passé.

Look around you and see the people settle down,

Regarde autour de toi et vois les gens se calmer,

And when you're old and grey you will remember what they said,

Et quand tu seras vieux et gris, tu te souviendras de ce qu'ils ont dit,

That two girls are too many, three's a crowd and four you're dead.

Que deux filles, c'est trop, trois, c'est une foule et quatre, c'est la mort.

Oh Dandy, Dandy,

When you gonna give up?

Quand vas-tu abandonner ?

Are you feeling old now?

Te sens-tu vieux maintenant ?

You always will be free,

Tu seras toujours libre,

You need no sympathy,

Tu n'as besoin d'aucune sympathie,

A bachelor you will stay,

Tu resteras célibataire,

And Dandy, you're all right.

Et Dandy, tu vas bien.

You're all right.

Tu vas bien.

You're all right.

Tu vas bien.

You're all right.

Tu vas bien.

You're all right.

Tu vas bien.

You're all right

Tu vas bien
