Lyrics and translation The Who - Happy Jack (Live at City Hall, Hull 1970)
Happy
Jack
wasn't
tall,
but
he
was
a
man
Happy
Jack
n'était
pas
grand,
mais
c'était
un
homme
He
lived
in
the
sand
at
the
Isle
of
Man
Il
vivait
dans
le
sable
sur
l'île
de
Man
The
kids
would
all
sing,
he
would
take
the
wrong
key
Les
enfants
chantaient
tous,
il
prenait
la
mauvaise
clé
So
they
rode
on
his
head
in
a
hurry
on
Quay.
Alors
ils
sont
montés
sur
sa
tête
en
toute
hâte
sur
le
quai
The
kids
couldn't
hurt
Jack
Les
enfants
ne
pouvaient
pas
blesser
Jack
They
tried
and
tried
and
tried
Ils
ont
essayé
et
essayé
et
essayé
They
dropped
things
on
his
back
Ils
ont
laissé
tomber
des
choses
sur
son
dos
And
lied
and
lied
and
lied
and
lied
and
lied
Et
ils
ont
menti
et
menti
et
menti
et
menti
et
menti
But
they
couldn't
stop
Jack,
or
the
waters
lapping
Mais
ils
ne
pouvaient
pas
arrêter
Jack,
ni
les
eaux
qui
clapotaient
And
they
couldn't
prevent
Jack
from
feeling
happy
Et
ils
ne
pouvaient
pas
empêcher
Jack
de
se
sentir
heureux
But
they
couldn't
stop
Jack,
or
the
waters
lapping
Mais
ils
ne
pouvaient
pas
arrêter
Jack,
ni
les
eaux
qui
clapotaient
And
they
couldn't
prevent
Jack
from
feeling
happy
Et
ils
ne
pouvaient
pas
empêcher
Jack
de
se
sentir
heureux
The
kids
couldn't
hurt
Jack
Les
enfants
ne
pouvaient
pas

Jack
They
tried
and
tried
and

Ils
ont

et

et

They
dropped
things
on
his
back
Ils
ont
laissé
tomber
des
choses
sur
son
dos
And
lied
and
lied
and
lied
and
lied
and

Et
ils
ont
menti
et
menti
et
menti
et
menti
et
