Billy Nencioli - Flotte américaine dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre

American fleet

I would rather enlist in the American fleet1
to roam the seas toward new continents.
My engagement is signed, my insurance against sorrows,
to forget the girl, the girl I loved so much.
 
I'll send the SOS of my love life in distress
right to the bottom of the sea, to stop worrying too much.
I'll see perfunctory smiles2 in every harbour
to welcome merrily the [man in a] foreign suit.
 
I would rather enlist in the American fleet,
and my heart will only hoist an unknown flag,
the flag of happiness, a one week affair.
The moorings are cast off, we'll never meet again.
 
I would rather enlist in the American fleet,
for a good sailor makes for a poor husband,
and I would not like to have a dull job
nor a housewife who would tidy my life away3
 

• 1. Iwould rather expect the US Navy, but that would be 'marine américaine' in French
• 2. maybe he meant 'polite smiles' but the French really means the kind of insincere smile you cast when you feel compelled to
• 3. 'ranger' is both meant as 'tidy up' and 'put away' here

This translation does not claim to be of any particular value.
Glad if you liked it, sorry if you didn't.
You can reuse it as you please.
Glad if it's for knowledge or understanding, sorry if it's just for money or fame.
