Translation of the song lyrics Miss Otis Regrets (She's Unable to Lunch Today) - Jean Sablon

Miss Otis Regrets (She's Unable to Lunch Today) (original)

Miss Otis regrets de ne pouvoir dîner
Madame Miss Otis regrets de ne pouvoir venir dîner
Mais hier au bois elle est allée
Dans l’allée des amoureux s’est égarée
Madame, Miss Otis regrets de ne pouvoir venir dîner
Quand elle comprit que son bel amour était fini
Madame, elle courut vers l’homme qui l’avait
Indignement trahi
De sa robe en velours chiné
Sortit un browning elle l' tua sans hésiter
Madame Miss Otis regrets de ne pouvoir venir dîner
La foule vînt força la prison et la saisit
Madame la traîna jusqu’au vieux tilleul
Où on la pendit !
Mais juste avant de trépasser
Elle leva sa jolie tête pour murmurer
Madame, Miss Otis regrets de ne pouvoir venir dîner

Miss Otis Regrets (She's Unable to Lunch Today) (translation)

Miss Otis regrets not being able to dine
Mrs. Miss Otis regrets not being able to come to dinner
But yesterday in the woods she went
In the alley of lovers got lost
Madam, Miss Otis regrets not being able to come to dinner
When she realized that her beautiful love was over
Madam, she ran to the man who had
Outrageously betrayed
Of her mottled velvet dress
Pulled out a browning she killed it without hesitation
Mrs. Miss Otis regrets not being able to come to dinner
The mob came broke through the prison and seized it
Madame dragged her to the old lime tree
Where they hanged her!
But just before passing away
She lifted her pretty head to whisper
Madam, Miss Otis regrets not being able to come to dinner
