Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song Madame Arthur , by - Barbara. 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! |
