Paroles
Look, ma’am, an invitation,
Here, ma’am, delivered by hand.
And, ma’am, I notice the station-
Ary’s engraved and very grand.
Petra, how too exciting!
Just when I need it!
Petra, such elegant writing,
So chic you hardly can read it!
What do you think?
Who can it be?
Even the ink--
No, here, let me…
«Your presence"--just think of it, Petra!
«Is kindly"--it's at a chateau!
«Requested"--etcet'ra, etcet’ra,
«Madame Leonora Armf--» Oh, no!
A weekend in the country--
We’re invited?
What a horrible plot!
A weekend in the country--
I’m excited!
No, you’re not.
A weekend in the country, just imagine--
It’s completely depraved.
A weekend in the country!
It’s insulting.
It’s engraved.
It’s that woman, it’s that Armfeldt!
Oh, the actress?
No, the ghoul!
She may hope to make her charm felt,
But she’s mad if she thinks I would be such a fool
As to weekend in the country.
How insulting!
And I’ve nothing to wear.
A weekend in the country--
Here! The last place I’m going is there.
Guess what? An invitation!
Guess who? Begins with an «A.»
«Armfeldt"--is that a relation
To the decrepit Desiree?
Out of the blue isn’t it strange
Well but it’s true we need a change
Oh, no!
A weekend in the country
Would be charming,
And the air would be fresh.
A weekend with that woman?
In the country--
In the flesh.
A weekend in the country
Smelling jasmine
Watching little thing grow
A weekend in the country
My darling, we’ll simply say no.
Oh.
A weekend!
How very amusing.
A weekend!
But also inept.
A weekend; of course we’re refusing.
Au contraire! You must accept!
Oh, no!
A weekend in the country--
But it’s frightful!
No, you don’t understand.
A weekend in the country
Is delightful
If it’s planned.
Wear your hair down, and a flower,
Don’t use makeup, dress in white.
She’ll grow older by the hour
And be hopelessly shattered by Saturday night.
Spend a weekend in the country.
We’ll accept it!
I’d a feeling you would.
A weekend in the country--
Yes, it’s only polite that we should.
Good.
Well?
I’ve an intriguing little social item--
What?
Out of the Armfeldt family manse.
Well, what?
Merely a weekend, still, I thought it might am-
Use you to know
Who’s invited to go,
This time with his pants.
You don’t mean…
I’ll give you three guesses.
She wouldn’t…
Reduce it to two.
It can’t be…
It nevertheless is.
Egerman!
Right! Score one for you.
A weekend in the country,
We should try it.
How I wish we’d been asked.
A weekend in the country,
Peace and quiet--
We’ll go masked.
A weekend in the country…
Uninvited?
They’ll consider it odd.
A weekend in the country,
I’m delighted.
Oh, my god.
And the shooting should be pleasant
If the weather’s not too rough.
Happy birthday, it’s your present.
But--
You haven’t been getting out nearly enough.
And a weekend in the country--
It’s perverted!
Pack my quiver and bow.
A weekend in the country--
At exactly 2: 30, we go.
We can’t.
We shall!
We shan’t!
I’m getting the car
And we’re motoring down.
Yes, I’m certain you are,
And I’m staying in town.
Go and pack my suits! We’ll go.
I won’t
My boots! We will?
Pack everything I own that shoots!
We should.
No! Pack everything white
Charlotte! Ma’am, it’s wonderful news!
I’m thinking it out. Are you sure it’s all right?
Charlotte! We’d be rude to refuse
We are?
Charlotte!
We’ll take the car!
All right, then--
We’ll bring champagne and caviar!
We’re off on our way,
What a beautiful day
For a weekend in the country,
Taking rambles
Having leisurely chats
A weekend in the country,
With the brambles
And the gnats!
A weekend in the country,
Full of craning to see? in their nests
A weekend in the country,
Entertaining other guests
I’ll recieve them in the red room
Then impress them with a feast
Then retire to my bedroom
Where I am planning to stay
Until monday a least!
A weekend in the country
Rising early to go out and lie down
A weekend in the country
Where--
A weekend in the country, the bees in their hives,
The shallow worldly figures, the frivolous lives.
The devil’s companions know not whom they serve,
It might be instructive to observe.
Charlotte! We’re off! A weekend in the country,
The bees
In their hives…
I’m thinking We are?
It out.
We’ll take
Charlotte! The car.
There’s no need We’ll bring champagne We’re off! We are?
To shout. And caviar! We’ll take the car!
We’ll bring
Champagne
And caviar…
We’re off on our way,
What a beautiful day,
We’re laying our plans We’re off on The bees in While we’re playing croquet, Our way, Their hives…
With riotous laughter we quietly suffer
The season in town, which is reason enough for
A weekend in the country
A refresher for the body and mind
A weekend in the country
With the pressure far behind
A weekend in the country
Gently gliding over manicured lawns
A weekend in the country
Gently hiding little yawns…
With the pheasants in the thickets
And the peasants mowing hay
In the presence of the crickets
We’ll be laying our plans while we’re playing croquet
A weekend in the country
With umbrellas to avoid getting brown
A weekend in the country
Where
Twice as upset as in…
Are you sure?
We’re going!
Town!
Traduction des paroles
Écoutez, Madame, une invitation,
Ici, madame, livré en main propre.
Et, madame, je remarque la station-
Ary est gravé et très grand.
Petra, comment trop excitant!
Juste quand j'en ai besoin!
Petra, une écriture si élégante,
Si chic que vous pouvez à peine le lire!
Qu'en penses-tu?
Qui peut-il être?
Même l'encre--
Non, ici, permettez-moi de…
«Votre présence"--suffit de penser, Petra!
«Bienveillante"--c'est au château!
«Demandé"--etcet'ra, etcet'ra,
"Madame Leonora Armf ..." Oh, non!
Un week-end dans le pays--
Nous sommes invités?
Quel horrible complot!
Un week-end dans le pays--
Je suis excité!
Non, vous n'êtes pas.
Un week-end dans le pays, imaginez--
C'est complètement dépravé.
Un week-end dans le pays!
C'est insultant.
Il est gravé.
C'est cette femme, C'est Armfeldt!
Oh, l'actrice?
Non, la goule!
Elle peut espérer faire sentir son charme,
Mais elle est en colère si elle pense que je serais un imbécile
Que pour week-end dans le pays.
Comment insultant!
Et je n'ai rien à porter.
Un week-end dans le pays--
Ici! Le dernier endroit où je vais est là.
Devinez quoi? Une invitation!
Devinez qui? Commence avec un «A.»
"Armfeldt" -- est-ce une relation
À la décrépitude Desiree?
Out of the blue n'est-il pas étrange
Eh bien mais c'est vrai nous avons besoin d'un changement
Oh, non!
Un week-end dans le pays
Serait charmant,
Et l'air était frais.
Un week-end avec sa femme?
Dans le pays--
Dans la chair.
Un week-end dans le pays
L'odeur de jasmin
Regarder petite chose grandir
Un week-end dans le pays
Mon chéri, nous allons simplement dire non.
Oh.
Un week-end!
Comment très amusant.
Un week-end!
Mais aussi inepte.
Un week-end; bien sûr, nous refusons.
Au contraire! Vous devez accepter!
Oh, non!
Un week-end dans le pays--
Mais c'est affreux!
Non, vous ne comprenez pas.
Un week-end dans le pays
Est délicieuse
Si c'est prévu.
Portez vos cheveux vers le bas, et une fleur,
N'utilisez pas de maquillage, Habillez-vous en blanc.
Elle vieillira d'heure en heure
Et être désespérément brisé par samedi soir.
Passer un week-end dans le pays.
