Текст и перевод песни Dave Brubeck - The Trolley Song (Rehearsal)

The Trolley Song (Rehearsal)

"Clang, clang, clang
" Went the trolley

"Ding, ding, ding
" Went the bell

"Zing, zing, zing
" Went my heartstrings
For the moment I saw him I fell

"Chug, chug, chug
" Went the motor

"Bump, bump, bump
" Went the brake

"Thump, thump, thump
" Went my heartstrings
When he smiled, I could feel the car shake

He tipped his hat, and took a seat
He said he hoped he hadn't stepped upon my feet
He asked my name I held my breath
I couldn't speak because he scared me half to death

"Buzz, buzz, buzz
" Went the buzzer

"Plop, plop, plop
" Went the wheels

"Stop, stop, stop
" Went my heartstrings
As he started to leave I took hold of his sleeve with my hand

And as if it were planned
He stayed on with me and it was grand
Just to stand with his hand holding mine
All the way to the end of the line

La chanson du tramway (Répétition)

"Clang, clang, clang"
"Dit le tramway"

"Ding, ding, ding"
"Sonne la cloche"

"Zing, zing, zing"
"Chantaient mes cordes du cœur"
Au moment où je t'ai vue, je suis tombé amoureux

"Chug, chug, chug"
"Ronflait le moteur"

"Bump, bump, bump"
"Freinait le frein"

"Thump, thump, thump"
"Chantaient mes cordes du cœur"
Quand tu as souri, j'ai senti le tramway trembler

Tu as salué d'un geste de la main, et tu as pris place
Tu as dit espérer ne pas avoir marché sur mes pieds
Tu as demandé mon nom, j'ai retenu ma respiration
Je n'ai pas pu parler, car tu m'as fait peur à moitié

"Buzz, buzz, buzz"
"Sonnait le buzzer"

"Plop, plop, plop"
"Roulaient les roues"

"Stop, stop, stop"
"Chantaient mes cordes du cœur"
Alors que tu partais, j'ai saisi ta manche avec ma main

Et comme si c'était prévu
Tu es resté avec moi, et c'était grandiose
Seulement debout, ta main serrant la mienne
Tout le chemin jusqu'à la fin de la ligne
