Lyrics and translation The Who - Odorono

Odorono

She sang the best she'd ever sang
She couldn't ever sing any better
But Mr. Davidson never rang
She knew he would forget her

She'd seen him there
And put herself to ransom
He had stared
He really was quite handsome

She had really looked her best
She couldn't ever look any better
But she knew she'd failed the test
She knew he would forget her

Triumphant was the way she felt
As she acknowledged the applause
Triumphant was the way she'd felt
When she saw him at the dressing room door

She was happier than she'd ever been
As he praised her for her grace
But his expression changed, she had seen
As he leant to kiss her face

It ended there
He claimed a late appointment
She quickly turned
To hide her disappointment

She ripped her glittering gown
Couldn't face another show, no
Her deodorant had let her down
She should have used Odorono

Odorono

Tu as chanté du mieux que tu n'as jamais chanté
Tu ne pouvais pas chanter mieux
Mais Mr. Davidson n'a jamais appelé
Tu savais qu'il t'oublierait

Je t'avais vue là
Et je m'étais mis à ta merci
J'avais regardé
Tu étais vraiment très belle

Tu avais vraiment l'air de ton mieux
Tu ne pouvais pas paraître plus belle
Mais tu savais que tu avais échoué au test
Tu savais que je t'oublierai

J'étais triomphant dans mon sentiment
Lorsque j'ai reconnu les applaudissements
J'étais triomphant dans mon sentiment
Lorsque je t'ai vue à la porte de la salle de maquillage

Tu étais plus heureuse que jamais
Alors que je te faisais l'éloge de ta grâce
Mais ton expression a changé, j'avais vu
Alors que je me penchais pour t'embrasser le visage

Cela s'est terminé là
J'ai prétexté un rendez-vous tardif
Tu t'es vite retournée
Pour cacher ta déception

Tu as déchiré ta robe scintillante
Tu ne pouvais pas affronter un autre spectacle, non
Ton déodorant t'avait laissé tomber
Tu aurais dû utiliser Odorono
