La chansonnette (Live - Olympia 1981) - Yves Montand traduction en anglais

La chansonnette (Live - Olympia 1981)

La, la, la, mine de rien
La voil? qui revient
La chansonnette
Elle avait disparu
Le pav? de ma rue
Etait tout b? te
Les refrains de Paris
Avaient pris l′maquis
Les forains, l'orph? on
La chanson d′Macky
Mais on n'oublie jamais
Le flonflon qui vous met
Le c? ur en f? te
Quand le vieux musicien
Dans le quartier
Vient revoir les anciens
Faire son m? tier
Le public se souvient
D'la chansonnette
Tiens, tiens
Les titis, les marquis
C′est parti, mon kiki
La chansonnette
A Presley fait du tort
Car tous les transistors
Soudain s′arr? tent
Sous le ciel de Paris
Un accord? on
Joue la chanson d'Macky
Comme avant l′n? on
Cueilli par un flonflon
Un t? tard en blouson
D'un franc d′violette
Va fleurir sa Bardot
Car malgr? son aigle
Au milieu du dos
Le c? ur est bon
Et sous ses cheveux gris
La chansonnette
Sourit!
La, la, la, hauts les c? urs
Avec moi tous en ch? ur
La chansonnette
Et passons la monnaie
En gar? on qui connait
La chansonnette
Il a fait sa moisson
De refrains d'Paris
Les forains, l′orph? on
La chanson d'Macky
Car on n'oublie jamais
Le flonflon qui vous met
Le c? ur en f? te
Il faut du temps, c′est vrai
Pour s? parer
Le bon grain de l′ivraie
Pour comparer
Mais on trouve un beau jour
Sa chansonnette
D'amour!

La Chansonnette (Live - Olympia 1981)

La, la, la, watch out my dear
Here it comes again
La Chansonnette
It had disappeared
The pavement of my street
Was drab
The choruses of Paris
Had gone into hiding
The fairground barkers, the street urchin
Macky's song
But you never forget
The tune that makes you feel
Happy
When the old musician
In the neighborhood
Comes to see the old timers
To do his job
The audience remembers
La Chansonnette
Look, look
The street urchins, the dandies
Here we go, my darling
La Chansonnette
Has overshadowed Presley
For all the transistor radios
Suddenly stop
Under the skies of Paris
A single chord
Plays Macky's song
Like before the war
Caught by a tune
A young man in a jacket
With a violet worth a franc
Will use it to buy a flower for his Bardot
For despite his eagle
On his back
His heart is good
And under his gray hair
La Chansonnette
Smiles!
La, la, la, let's be cheerful
Sing with me, everyone
La Chansonnette
And let's pass the hat
Like a street urchin who knows
La Chansonnette
He has reaped his harvest
Of Parisian choruses
The fairground barkers, the street urchin
Macky's song
For you never forget
The tune that makes you feel
Happy
It takes time, it's true
To separate
The wheat from the chaff
To compare
But one fine day, you'll find
Your Chansonnette
Of love!
