Текст и перевод песни Asleep at the Wheel - Cherokee Boogie

Cherokee Boogie

Well, ol′ Cherokee chief as he dances along
He sings an Indian's boogie to a white man′s song
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
"Hey, hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina, oh no, a-wittena-yea"

Well, he dances over here and he dances over there
And he dances with a spoon named Stanny Bear
Singin′ "Hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
"Yeah hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
Singin′, "Hey-ho-a-lina, oh no, a-wittena-yea"

Come on, huh
Why that's a man after my own heart
With a razor

Well, he dances in a trot and then he dances in a waltz
But he keeps on shaking his ol′ tomahawk
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
"Yeah hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
Singin′, "Hey-ho-a-lina, oh no, a-wittena-yea"

Well, he sings a little soft then he sings a little loud
And his tomtom beats, oh, cheeky cloud
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
"Yeah hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
Singin′, "Hey-ho-a-lina, oh no, a-wittena"

Come on, Lucky, beat it now

Modest biker, Johnny P.

He's a Cherokee chief as a you all might know
And he sings his boogie sayin', "Nuven-yo"
Singin′ "Hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
"Yeah hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
Singin′, "Hey-ho-a-lina, oh no, a-wittena"

Let's go home, now

Cherokee Boogie

Bien, le vieux chef Cherokee en dansant
Il chante un boogie indien sur une chanson de l'homme blanc
Chantant "Hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
"Hey, hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
Chantant, "Hey-ho-a-lina, oh non, a-wittena-yea"

Bien, il danse ici et il danse là-bas
Et il danse avec une cuillère nommée Stanny Bear
Chantant "Hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
"Ouais hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
Chantant, "Hey-ho-a-lina, oh non, a-wittena-yea"

Vas-y, hein
Pourquoi c'est un homme qui me ressemble
Avec un rasoir

Bien, il danse au trot puis il danse à la valse
Mais il continue à secouer son vieux tomahawk
Chantant "Hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
"Ouais hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
Chantant, "Hey-ho-a-lina, oh non, a-wittena-yea"

Bien, il chante un peu doucement puis un peu fort
Et les battements de son tomtom, oh, nuage effronté
Chantant "Hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
"Ouais hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
Chantant, "Hey-ho-a-lina, oh non, a-wittena"

Vas-y, Lucky, casse-toi maintenant

Modeste motard, Johnny P.

C'est un chef Cherokee comme vous le savez tous
Et il chante son boogie en disant "Nuven-yo"
Chantant "Hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
"Ouais hey-ho-a-lina" (hey-ho-a-lina)
Chantant, "Hey-ho-a-lina, oh non, a-wittena"

On rentre à la maison, maintenant
