PÉTULA:
J'adore cette chanson.
JOE:
Moi aussi.
DUO:
Summertime
JOE:
And the living is easy,
PÉTULA:
La vie est si facile
JOE:
The fishes are jumping and the cotton is high.
Your daddy's rich,
PÉTULA:
C'est vrai, mon papa est très riche
JOE:
And your ma she is good looking,
PÉTULA:
Maman, elle est très belle
JOE:
So hush, little baby, don't you cry.
PÉTULA:
Je ne pleure pas, je suis bien ici
Il fait beau.
JOE:
Qu'est-ce qu'il fait bien ici chez vous!
PÉTULA:
Yeah!
DUO:
One of these mornings
PÉTULA:
You gonna rise up singing,
JOE:
Je me levais chanter
PÉTULA:
And then you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky.
JOE:
Tu as raison, je vais m'envoler.
Merci Pat.
PÉTULA:
But till that morning there's nothing's gonna harm you
With Daddy and Mammy standing by.
Summertime...
