Текст и перевод песни Guy Béart - Laura (Laura, l'aura pas)

Laura (Laura, l'aura pas)

[Refrain]:
Laura, Laura, lequel de nous deux l'aura?
Laura, Laura, Laura l'aura pas.
On l'a jouée aux billes
Aux tout premiers temps.
Elle était p'tite fille,
Nous étions enfants.
Nous étions quatre près d'elle,
Nous étions quatre séduits,
Comme autour d'une chandelle
Des oiseaux de nuit.
[Refrain]
On l'a jouée aux dames
Sur un grand damier,
On l'a jouée au drame
Sur un grand larmier.
La maligne n'avait cure
De nous partager sa peau
Et ses joues de pommes mûre
En quatre morceaux.
[Refrain]
On a joué la belle aux jeux du hasard.
"L'amour, nous dit-elle,
C'est colin-maillard.
Je vais fermer les paupières,
L'un de vous m'embrassera.
Je me donne à qui me serre
Le premier dans ses bras."
[Refrain]
La dernière manche
Fut un sacré coup.
Elle a joué des hanches,
Elle a mis les bouts
Avec un cinquième compère
Nous laissant tous quatre en plan,
Quatre quilles solitaires,
Puisque maintenant
Laura, Laura, aucun de nous l'aura.
Laura, Laura, Laura l'aura pas.

Laura (Laura Didn't Have It)

[Chorus]:
Laura, Laura, which one of us will have her?
Laura, Laura, Laura didn't have it.
We played a game of marbles
At the very beginning.
She was a little girl,
We were children.
There were four of us near her,
Four of us were smitten,
Like night birds around a candle,
Like moths to a flame.
[Chorus]
We played a game of checkers
On a large checkerboard,
We played a game of drama
On a big tear.
The sly one didn't care
To share her skin
And her ripe apple cheeks
In four pieces.
[Chorus]
We played the beauty in games of chance.
"Love, she tells us,
Is blind man's buff.
I'm going to close my eyelids,
One of you will kiss me.
I give myself to whoever holds me
First in his arms."
[Chorus]
The last round
Was a hell of a blow.
She moved her hips,
She split with
A fifth companion,
Leaving us all four stranded,
Four lonely pins,
Because now
Laura, Laura, none of us will have her.
Laura, Laura, Laura didn't have it.
