Lyrics and translation The Kinks - Polly (Mono)

Polly (Mono)

Polly wouldn't listen to her mama

Polly n'a pas écouté sa maman

Polly wouldn't listen to her papa

Polly n'a pas écouté son papa

She tried to make the swinging city scene

Elle a essayé de faire la scène de la ville vibrante

And now there's not a place that Polly hasn't been

Et maintenant il n'y a pas un endroit où Polly n'a pas été

Polly, pretty, pretty Pollyanna

Polly, belle, belle Pollyanna

Pretty, pretty Pollyanna

Belle, belle Pollyanna

Pretty Polly Garter

Jolie Polly Garter

Oh, I think that pretty Polly should have stayed at home

Oh, je pense que la jolie Polly aurait dû rester à la maison

Pretty Polly, dressed as jolly as can be

Jolie Polly, habillée aussi joyeusement que possible

She's so darling, all the fellas do agree

Elle est si charmante, tous les mecs sont d'accord

And half a million people can't be wrong

Et un demi-million de personnes ne peuvent pas se tromper

Oh, I think that pretty Polly should have stayed at home

Oh, je pense que la jolie Polly aurait dû rester à la maison

Polly wrote a letter to her mama

Polly a écrit une lettre à sa maman

Polly made confessions to her papa

Polly a fait des confessions à son papa

Mummy's proud 'cause Polly's still in chains

Maman est fière parce que Polly est toujours enchaînée

She's happy now her baby's coming home again

Elle est heureuse maintenant que son bébé rentre à la maison

Pretty Polly, she learned that life is just a game

Jolie Polly, elle a appris que la vie n'est qu'un jeu

She is sorry, she just had to break the chains

Elle est désolée, elle a juste dû briser les chaînes

And Mama knows 'cause mama was the same

Et Maman sait parce que Maman était la même

Oh, she's happy now her baby's coming home again

Oh, elle est heureuse maintenant que son bébé rentre à la maison

Polly, pretty, pretty Pollyanna

Polly, belle, belle Pollyanna

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty Pollyanna, Pollyanna

Belle, belle, belle, belle Pollyanna, Pollyanna

Pretty Polly Garter

Jolie Polly Garter

Oh, Polly, pretty, pretty Pollyanna

Oh, Polly, belle, belle Pollyanna

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty Pollyanna, Pollyanna

Belle, belle, belle, belle Pollyanna, Pollyanna

Pretty Polly Garter

Jolie Polly Garter

Oh, I think that pretty Polly should have stayed at home

Oh, je pense que la jolie Polly aurait dû rester à la maison
