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