Original Lyrics
Translation in French
Jack and Jill, went up the hill
Jack et Jill, montèrent la colline
To fetch a pail of water, so they say
Pour aller chercher un seau d'eau , disent-ils
The subsequent fall was inevitable
Leur chute subséquente était inévitable
They never stood a chance, they were written that way
Ils ne se sont une chance , ils ont été écrits de cette façon
Innocent victims of their story
Les victimes innocentes de leur histoire!
Like Romeo and Juliet
Comme Roméo et Juliette
T′was written in the stars before they even met
T′was written in the stars before they even met
That love and fate, and a touch of stupidity
Que l'amour et le destin, et une touche de la stupidité
Would rob them of their hope of living happily
Rob -ce que les de leur espoir de vivre heureux
The endings are often a little bit gory
Les terminaisons sont souvent un peu gore
I wonder why they didn't just change their story?
Je wonderr pourquoi ils ne changent juste leur histoire?
We′re told we have to do as we're told but surely
We′re told we have to do as we're told but surely
Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty
Parfois vous devez être un peu méchant.
Just because you find that life's not fair, it
Tout simplement parce que vous trouvez que la vie est injuste il
Doesn′t mean that you just have to grin and bear it
Doesn′t mean that you just have to grin and bear it
If you always take it on the chin and wear it
Si vous prenez toujours sur le menton et le porter
Nothing will change
Rien ne va changer.
Even if you′re little, you can do a lot, you
Even if you′re little, you can do a lot, you
Mustn't let a little thing like, ′little' stop you
Mustn't let a little thing like, ′little' stop you
If you sit around and let them get on top, you
Si vous vous asseyez autour et laissez-les obtenir sur le dessus , vous
Might as well be saying
Autant dire
You think that it′s okay
You think that it′s okay
And that's not right!
Et ça ne va pas !
Cinderella, in the cellar
Cendrillon, dans la cave
Didn′t have to do much as far as I can tell
Didn′t have to do much as far as I can tell
Her Godmother, was two thirds fairy
Sa marraine était aux deux tiers fée
Suddenly, her lot was a lot less scary
Soudain, son sort était beaucoup moins effrayant
But what if you haven't got a fairy to fix it?
Mais que se passe-t-il si vous n'avez pas de fée pour le réparer ?
Sometimes you have to make a little bit of mischief
Parfois, il faut faire un peu de bêtise
Just because you find that life's not fair, it
Tout simplement parce que vous trouvez que la vie est injuste il
Doesn′t mean that you just have to grin and bear it
Doesn′t mean that you just have to grin and bear it
If you always take it on the chin and wear it
Si vous prenez toujours sur le menton et le porter
Nothing will change
Rien ne va changer.
Even if you′re little, you can do a lot, you
Even if you′re little, you can do a lot, you
Mustn't let a little thing like, ′little' stop you
Mustn't let a little thing like, ′little' stop you
If you sit around and let them get on top, you
Si vous vous asseyez autour et laissez-les obtenir sur le dessus , vous
Might as well be saying
Autant dire
You think that it′s okay
You think that it′s okay
And that's not right!
Et ça ne va pas !
And if it′s not right
And if it′s not right
You have to put it right!
Vous devez le mettre correctement!
In the slip of a bolt, there's a tiny revolt
Dans le glissement d'un boulon, il y a une petite révolte
The seeds of a war in the creak of a floorboard
Les germes d'une guerre dans le grincement d'un plancher
A storm can begin, with the flap of a wing
Une tempête peut commencer, avec un battement d'aile
The tiniest mite packs the mightiest sting
Le plus petit acarien emballe la piqûre la plus puissante
Every day, starts with the tick of a clock
Chaque jour, commence par le tic-tac d'une horloge
All escapes, starts with the click of a lock
Toutes les évasions, commence par le clic d'un cadenas
If you're stuck in your story and want to get out
Si vous êtes coincé dans votre histoire et que vous voulez sortir
You don′t have to cry, you don′t have to shout
You don′t have to cry, you don′t have to shout
'Cause if you′re little, you can do a lot, you
'Cause if you′re little, you can do a lot, you
Mustn't let a little thing like, ′little' stop you
Mustn't let a little thing like, ′little' stop you
If you sit around and let them get on top, you
Si vous vous asseyez autour et laissez-les obtenir sur le dessus , vous
Won′t change a thing
Won′t change a thing
Just because you find that life's not fair, it
Tout simplement parce que vous trouvez que la vie est injuste il
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it!
Ne signifie pas que vous avez juste à sourire et supporter
If you always take it on the chin and wear it
Si vous prenez toujours sur le menton et le porter
You might as well be saying
Autant dire
You think that it′s okay
You think that it′s okay
And that′s not right!
And that′s not right!
And if it's not right
Et ça ne va pas !
You have to put it right!
Vous devez le mettre correctement!
But nobody else it gonna put it right for me
Mais personne d'autre ne va arranger les choses pour moi
Nobody but me is going to change my story
Personne d'autre que moi ne changera mon histoire
Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty
Parfois vous devez être un peu méchant.
