VILLE POURRIE

Une adaptation française personnelle de ce classique » Dirty Old Town ». Je n’ai trouvé rien de mieux que « ville pourrie » pour le titre. Louis CAPART a je crois intitulé sa version « vielle ville de merde ». Pourquoi pas!

DIRTY OLD TOWN

Orchestration ci-dessous pour chanter

I met my love by the gas works wall

Dreamed a dream by the old canal

I kissed my girl by the factory wall

Dirty old town

Dirty old town

Clouds are drifting across the moon

Cats are prowling on their beat

Spring’s a girl from the streets at night

Dirty old town

Dirty old town

I heard a siren from the docks

Saw a train set the night on fire

Smelled the spring on the smoky wind

Dirty old town

Dirty old town

I’m going to make me a good sharp axe

Shining steel tempered in the fire

I’ll chop you down like an old dead tree

Dirty old town

Dirty old town

I met my love by the gas works wall

Dreamed a dream by the old canal

I kissed my girl by the factory wall

Dirty old town

Dirty old town

Dirty old town

Dirty old town
