Текст и перевод песни Edith Piaf - Le disque usé

Le disque usé

Impasse de la gouttière
Dans la ruelle aux mat'lots
Où n'entre pas la lumière
Y'a un vilain caboulot
La figure triste et pâle
Une servante aux yeux bleus
Rêve aux plus belles escales
Et à des ciels merveilleux
Chaque sifflet des bateaux
Lui dit "Ton attente est vaine"
Mais, dans un coin, un phono
Chante sa vieille rengaine
"Tant qu'y'a d'la vie, y'a d'l'espoir
Vos désirs, vos rêves
Seront exaucés un soir
Avant que votre vie s'achève
Le bonheur viendra vous voir
Il faut l'attendre sans trêve
Chassez les papillons noirs
Tant qu'y'a d'la vie, y'a d'l'espoir"
Il entra beau comme un ange
Des cheveux comm' le miel
Son regard était étrange
Plus bleu que le bleu du ciel
Il appela la servante
Et lui dit "Je te cherchais"
Elle répondit, tremblante
"Y'a longtemps que j'attendais"
Il l'a serrée dans ses bras
"Quand je serai capitaine"
Et le vieux disque, tout bas
Chante sa vieille rengaine
"Tant qu'y'a d'la vie, y'a d'l'espoir
Vos désirs, vos rêves
Seront exaucés un soir
Avant que votre vie s'achève
Le bonheur viendra vous voir
Il faut l'attendre sans trêve
Chassez les papillons noirs
Tant qu'y'a d'la vie, y'a d'l'espoir"
Impasse de la gouttière
Dans la ruelle aux mat'lots
Où n'entre pas la lumière
Y'a un vilain caboulot
Elle attend, fière et hautaine
Elle attend, depuis 20 ans
Elle attend son capitaine
Et son regard est confiant
Chaque sifflet des bateaux
Lui dit "Ton attente est vaine"
Mais elle écout' le phono
Raclant sa vieille rengaine
Tant qu'y'a d'la vie, y'a d'l'esp-
Y'a d'l'esp-
Y'a d'l'esp-
Vos désirs, vos rêves
Seront exaucés un soir
Avant que votre vie s'achève
Le bonheur viendra vous voir
Il faut l'attendre sans trêve
Chassez les papillons noirs
Tant qu'y'a d'la vie, y'a d'l'esp-
Tant qu'y'a d'la vie, y'a d'l'esp-
Tant qu'y'a d'la vie, y'a d'l'esp-

The Worn-Out Disc

Impasse de la gouttière
In the alley of the sailors
Where the light doesn't enter
There's an ugly tavern
Sad and pale face
A maid with blue eyes
Dreams of the most beautiful destinations
And of marvelous skies
Every whistle of the boats
Tells her "Your wait is in vain"
But, in a corner, a jukebox
Sings its old refrain
"As long as there's life, there's hope
Your desires, your dreams
Will be fulfilled one night
Before your life ends
Happiness will come to you
You must wait for it without respite
Chase away the black butterflies
As long as there's life, there's hope"
He came in handsome as an angel
Hair like honey
His gaze was strange
Bluer than the blue sky
He called for the maid
And told her "I was looking for you"
She answered, trembling
"I've been waiting for a long time"
He hugged her in his arms
"When I'll be a captain"
And the old record, softly
Sings its old refrain
"As long as there's life, there's hope
Your desires, your dreams
Will be fulfilled one night
Before your life ends
Happiness will come to you
You must wait for it without respite
Chase away the black butterflies
As long as there's life, there's hope"
Impasse de la gouttière
In the alley of the sailors
Where the light doesn't enter
There's an ugly tavern
She waits, proud and haughty
She's been waiting for 20 years
She's waiting for her captain
And her gaze is confident
Every whistle of the boats
Tells her "Your wait is in vain"
But she listens to the jukebox
Dragging its old refrain
As long as there's life, there's h-
There's h-
There's h-
Your desires, your dreams
Will be fulfilled one night
Before your life ends
Happiness will come to you
You must wait for it without respite
Chase away the black butterflies
As long as there's life, there's h-
As long as there's life, there's h-
As long as there's life, there's h-
