(Eddy Marnay / Christian Loigerot, Thierry Geoffroy)
|
Sur sa vieille charrette
|
Il grattait tout en roulant
|
Son banjo fait pour les fetes
|
De la Nouvelle Orleans
|
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
|
Ca 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 meme 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
|
Derriere ton banjo
|
Il y a des tam tam
|
Des trompettes des saxos
|
It's all right
|
It's all right
|
Oui c'est ca 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 ca 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)
