Madame Arthur(original) |
Madame Arthur est une femme |
Qui fit parler, parler, parler, parler d’elle longtemps, |
Sans journaux, sans rien, sans réclame |
Elle eut une foule d’amants, |
Chacun voulait être aimé d’elle, |
Chacun la courtisait, pourquoi? |
C’est que sans être vraiment belle, |
Elle avait un je ne sais quoi ! |
Madame Arthur est une femme |
Qui fit parler, parler, parler, parler d’elle longtemps, |
Sans journaux, sans rien, sans réclame |
Elle eut une foule d’amants, |
Madame Arthur est une femme |
Qui fit parler d’elle longtemps. |
Sa taille était fort ordinaire, |
Ses yeux petits mais sémillants, |
Son nez retroussé, sa voix claire, |
Ses pieds cambrés et frétillants |
Bref, en regardant sa figure, |
Rien ne vous mettait en émoi; |
Mais par derrière sa tournure |
Promettait un je ne sais quoi ! |
Ses amants lui restaient fidèles, |
C’est elle qui les renvoyait |
Elle aimait les ardeurs nouvelles, |
Un vieil amour lui déplaisait |
Et chacun, le chagrin dans l'âme, |
De son cœur n’ayant plus l’emploi, |
Disait: hélas ! |
une autre femme |
N’aura pas son je ne sais quoi ! |
Il fallait la voir à la danse; |
Son entrain était sans égal |
Par ses mouvements, sa prestance, |
Elle était la Reine du bal |
Au cavalier lui faisant face |
Son pied touchait le nez, ma foi, |
Chacun applaudissait sa grâce |
Et surtout son je ne sais quoi ! |
De quoi donc vivait cette dame? |
Montrant un grand train de maison, |
Courant au vaudeville, au drame, |
Rien qu'à l’avant-scène dit-on |
Elle voyait pour l’ordinaire |
Venir son terme sans effroi, |
Car alors son propriétaire |
Admirait son je ne sais quoi ! |
Oh ! |
femme qui cherchez à faire |
Des conquêtes matin et soir, |
En vain vous passez pour vous plaire |
Des heures à votre miroir, |
Elégance, grâce mutine, |
Regard, soupir de bon aloi, |
Velours, parfums et crinoline, |
Rien ne vaut un je ne sais quoi ! |
(translation) |
Madame Arthur is a woman |
Who made talk, talk, talk, talk about her for a long time, |
Without newspapers, without anything, without advertising |
She had a crowd of lovers, |
Everyone wanted to be loved by her, |
Everyone courted her, why? |
It's that without being really beautiful, |
She had a je ne sais quoi! |
Madame Arthur is a woman |
Who made talk, talk, talk, talk about her for a long time, |
Without newspapers, without anything, without advertising |
She had a crowd of lovers, |
Madame Arthur is a woman |
Who talked about her for a long time. |
His height was very ordinary, |
Her small but sparkling eyes, |
His upturned nose, his clear voice, |
Her arched and wiggling feet |
In short, looking at his face, |
Nothing upset you; |
But from behind her figure |
Promised a je ne sais quoi! |
Her lovers remained faithful to her, |
She was the one who sent them away |
She loved new ardor, |
An old love displeased him |
And each, sorrow in the soul, |
From his heart no longer having use, |
Said: alas! |
another woman |
Will not have its je ne sais quoi! |
You had to see her at the dance; |
His drive was unparalleled |
By his movements, his bearing, |
She was the prom queen |
To the rider facing him |
His foot touched the nose, well, |
Everyone applauded his grace |
And especially his je ne sais quoi! |
What was this lady living on? |
Showing a great house train, |
Fluent in vaudeville, drama, |
Only at the forefront they say |
She usually saw |
To come to an end without fear, |
For then its owner |
Admired his je ne sais quoi! |
Oh ! |
woman looking to do |
Morning and evening conquests, |
In vain you pass to please you |
Hours at your mirror, |
Elegance, mischievous grace, |
Look, good-natured sigh, |
Velvet, perfumes and crinoline, |
Nothing beats a je ne sais quoi! |
