Hello Mister Sam

Sur sa vieille charrette
Il grattait tout en roulant
Son banjo fait
pour les fí ªtes
De la Nouvelle Orléans
Et toute une foule
Le suivait gaiement
Des p'tits et des grands
Entre trois et cent dix ans.

(On his old cart
He was stumming away
while driving
His banjo made for partys
From New Orleans
And all the crowd
Was following him happily
Kids and elders
From three to a
hundred and ten
years old)

Hello Mister Sam
Tu joues comme un fou
Hello Mister Sam
Ta musique est pour nous
It's all right
It's all right
í ‡a nous tient debout
Oh... oh...
Avec ton sourire
En forme de croissant
Tu prends les enfants
Au soleil de tes dents
It's all right
It's all right
Tout l'monde est content
Oh... oh... oh... oh

(Hello Mister Sam
You play like a crazy man
Hello Mister Sam
Your music is for us
It's all right
It's all right
It holds us stand up
Oh... oh... .
With your smile
In a croissant shape
You take children
With the sun on your teeth
It's all right
It's all right
Everyone is happy
Oh... oh... oh... oh)

Et mí ªme les chiens
Le suivaient en aboyant
... Jusqu'au fleuve ancien
Qui swignait en avalant
Sa voix de rocaille
Vieille comme le temps
Tout finissait bien
Dans ce film en
noir et blanc

(Even the dogs
Were following him barking
... Till the old river
That was swinging swallowing
His rocky voice
As old as time

All was ending well
In this black and
white movie)

Hello Mister Sam
Derrií ¨re ton banjo
Il y a des tam tam
Des trompettes des saxos
It's all right
It's all right
Oui c'est í §a qui est beau
Au bout du chemin
On a l'impression
Qu'on va s'envoler
Par-dessus l'horizon
It's all right
It's all right
Oui c'est í §a qui est bon
Oh... oh... oh... oh.

(Hello Mister Sams
Behind your banjo
There are tamtams
Some trumpets and saxos
It's all right
It's all right
Yes, that's what
is beautiful
At the end of the road
We have the impression
That we will fly
Over the horizon
It's all right
It's all right
Yes, that's what is good
Oh... oh... oh... oh)
