Текст и перевод песни Duke Ellington - Minnie the Moocher

Minnie the Moocher

Minnie la moocharde

Folks here′s a story 'bout Minnie the Moocher,

Mon amie, voici une histoire à propos de Minnie la moocharde,

She was a red hot hoochie coocher,

C'était une hoochie coocher torride,

She was the roughest, toughest frail,

C'était la nana la plus dure et la plus coriace,

But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale.

Mais Minnie avait un cœur aussi gros qu'une baleine.

Ho-dee ho-dee ho

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi

Hey-dee hey

Whoah

She messed around with a bloke named Smokey.

Elle s'est foutue avec un mec nommé Smokey.

She loved him though was cokie,

Elle l'aimait bien qu'il était accro,

He took her down to Chinatown

Il l'a emmenée à Chinatown

And he showed her how to kick the gong around.

Et il lui a montré comment taper sur le gong.

Hey-dee hey-dee hey

Oy yoi yoi yoi yoi yoi

Ay yi yi yi yi yi-oh

Whoah

She had a dream about the King of Sweden,

Elle a rêvé du roi de Suède,

He gave her things that she was needin′,

Il lui a donné les choses dont elle avait besoin,

He gave her a home built of gold and steel,

Il lui a donné une maison en or et en acier,

A diamond car with the platinum wheel.

Une voiture en diamant avec des roues en platine.

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi

Hey-dee hey-dee hey-dee hey-dee hey

He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses,

Il lui a donné sa maison de ville et ses chevaux de course,

Each meal she ate was a dozen courses,

Chaque repas qu'elle prenait était un repas de douze plats,

She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes,

Elle avait un million de dollars en pièces de cinq et dix cents,

She sat around and counted them all a million times.

Elle les comptait et les recomptait un million de fois.

Hi-dee hi-dee hi

Whoah

Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min.

Pauvre Min, pauvre Min, pauvre Min.
