Текст и перевод песни Michel Jonasz - Mister Swing

Mister Swing

Il était laveur de voitures à Levallois, Faisait briller les Excaliburs en claquant des doigts.
Les gens l'appelaient l'allumé.
Qui aurait pu s'imaginer
Que ce serait le grand swing Mister swing? Un jour qu'il s'était lancé dans un rock qui électrise, S'arrête une Cadillac eldorado métallisée grise, Celle d'un producteur à succès
Qui lui dit: "J'aime c'que tu fais."Tu t'appelleras swing Mister swing. Swing Mister swing.
Swing Mister swing. Swing Mister swing. Swing Mister swing.
Il grimpa les échelons d'la gloire à toute allure
Et ce fut le début de la grande aventure, Une ébauche de paradis, La star des stars, c'était lui.
C'était le roi du swing, Mister swing, swing Mister swing, Swing Mister swing. Swing Mister swing, swing Mister swing.
Poussy, sa fiancée, le suivait toujours derrière de la première
Place. Elle passa vite à la dernière.
Elle faisait partie du décor
Mais la voyait-il encore, Emporté par le swing, Mister swing, swing Mister swing.
Swing Mister swing, Swing Mister swing, Swing Mister swing, Swing Mister swing, Swing Mister swing, Mister swing, Mister Mister swing, Mister swing.

Mister Swing

I was a car washer in Levallois, making Excaliburs shine with a snap of my fingers.
People called me the crackpot.
Who could have imagined
That he would be the great Mister Swing? One day, I was playing a rock that electrified, and a metallic gray Cadillac Eldorado stopped, the one belonging to a successful producer
Who said to me: "I like what you're doing." You will be called Mister Swing. Mister Swing. Swing Mister swing.
Swing Mister swing. Swing Mister swing. Swing Mister swing.
He climbed the rungs of fame at full speed
And that was the beginning of the great adventure, A sketch of paradise, The star of the stars, it was him.
He was the king of swing, Mister Swing, swing Mister Swing, Swing Mister Swing. Swing Mister swing, swing Mister swing.
Poussy, his fiancée, always followed him behind in the front
Place. She quickly passed to the last.
She was part of the decor
But did he still see her, Carried away by the swing, Mister swing, swing Mister swing.
Swing Mister swing, Swing Mister swing, Swing Mister swing, Swing Mister swing, Swing Mister swing, Mister swing, Mister Mister swing, Mister swing.
