Текст и перевод песни Joséphine Baker - Ma Tonkinoise

Ma Tonkinoise

C'est moi qui suis sa petite
Son Anana, son Anana, son Anammite
Je suis vive, je suis charmante
Comme un p'tit z'oiseau qui chante
Il m'appelle sa p'tite bourgeoise
Sa Tonkiki, sa Tonkiki, sa Tonkinoise
D'autres lui font les doux yeux
Mais c'est moi qu'il aime le mieux

L'soir on cause d'un tas d'choses
Avant de se mettre au pieu
J'apprends la géographie
D'la Chine et d'la Mandchourie
Les frontières, les rivières
Le Fleuve Jaune et le Fleuve Bleu
Y a même l'Amour c'est curieux
Qu'arrose l'Empire du Milieu

C'est moi qui suis sa petite
Son Anana, son Anana, son Anammite
Je suis vive, je suis charmante
Comme un p'tit oiseau qui chante
Il m'appelle sa p'tite bourgeoise
Sa Tonkiki, sa Tonkiki, sa Tonkinoise
D'autres lui font les doux yeux
Mais c'est moi qu'il aime le mieux.

D'autres lui font les doux yeux
Mais c'est moi qu'il aime le mieux

My Tonkinese Girl

I am his little one
His Anana, his Anana, his Anammite
I am lively, I am charming
Like a little bird that sings
He calls me his little bourgeoise
His Tonkiki, his Tonkiki, his Tonkinoise
Others make pretty eyes at him
But I am the one he loves the best

In the evening, we talk about many things
Before going to bed
I am learning geography
Of China and Manchuria
Borders, and rivers
The Yellow River and the Blue River
There is even the Amour, it is curious
Which waters the Middle Kingdom

I am his little one
His Anana, his Anana, his Anammite
I am lively, I am charming
Like a little bird that sings
He calls me his little bourgeoise
His Tonkiki, his Tonkiki, his Tonkinoise
Others make pretty eyes at him
But I am the one he loves the best.
