Lyrics and translation The Lovin' Spoonful - Only Pretty, What A Pity - Alternate Version




Only Pretty, What A Pity - Alternate Version
Trop belle, quel dommage - Version alternative
Eyes to look at not to see through
Des yeux à regarder, pas à voir à travers
She never could see truth for lies
Elle ne pouvait jamais voir la vérité des mensonges
With a smile she'd win 'em over
Avec un sourire, elle les gagnait tous
Face her trick to take a prize
Son visage, son truc pour remporter un prix
Tickled pink the mid-aged dandy
Elle faisait rougir le dandy d'âge moyen
Sold his horse to buy her all
Il a vendu son cheval pour lui acheter tout
The icing for her face like candy
Le glaçage pour son visage comme des bonbons
Hung up in mirrors wall to wall
Accroché dans des miroirs, du mur au mur
Married life was short but funny
La vie conjugale a été courte mais amusante
With long lost cousins dropping by
Avec des cousins perdus de vue qui passaient
Later on her alimony
Plus tard, sa pension alimentaire
Paid for young men's gentle lies
Payait les doux mensonges des jeunes hommes
By the window hangs a mirror
Près de la fenêtre, un miroir pend
Where she hides her sagging chin
elle cache son menton qui s'affaisse
Now, sadly as she crouches nearer
Maintenant, tristement, alors qu'elle se penche plus près
Never seeing past her skin
Ne voyant jamais au-delà de sa peau
(Mommy said
(Maman disait
When you were younger
Quand tu étais plus jeune
The face you made would stay that way
Le visage que tu faisais resterait comme ça
That's all true and if you doubt it
Tout cela est vrai et si tu en doutes
Reflect upon yourself today)
Réfléchis à toi-même aujourd'hui)
Everyone except the baby
Tout le monde sauf le bébé
Answers for the face they wear
Répond pour le visage qu'il porte
Ask the mask of your contentment
Demande au masque de ton contentement
Or the mask of your despair
Ou le masque de ton désespoir
Only pretty, what a pity
Trop belle, quel dommage
Only pretty, what a pity
Trop belle, quel dommage
Only pretty, what a pity
Trop belle, quel dommage
Only pretty, what a pity
Trop belle, quel dommage
Only pretty, what a pity
Trop belle, quel dommage
Only pretty, what a pity
Trop belle, quel dommage
Only pretty, what a pity
Trop belle, quel dommage
