Poor Unfortunate Sools / Pauvres âmes infortunées
compositeur : Alan Menken
paroles : Howard Ashman
label : Walt Disney Records
vocal : Pat Carroll
date : 1989
lyrics :
My dear, sweet child, that's what I do
It's what I live for
To help unfortunate merfolk like yourself
Poor souls with no one else to turn toI admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch
To this
And I fortunately know a little magic
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And dear lady, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed (Pathetic)Poor unfortunate souls
In pain, in need
This one longing to be thinner
That one wants to get the girl
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
And I help them
Yes I doNow it's happened once or twice
Someone couldn't pay the price
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
Yes I've had the odd complaint
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls(...)
You'll have your looks, your pretty face
And don't underestimate the importance of body language, ha!The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a girl who gossips is a bore
Yet on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word
And after all dear, what is idle babble for?
Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a lady who's withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue who gets a manCome on you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead
Make your choice
I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day
It won't cost much
Just your voice!You poor unfortunate soul
It's sad but true
If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet
You've got the pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
And go ahead and sign the scroll
Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys
The boss is on a roll
This poor unfortunate soul► Nightcore ◄► Malinda's cover (Google translate version) ◄vocal : Micheline Daxlyrics :Je n'ai pas toujours été gentille et sincère
J'ai vraiment mérité le nom de sorcière
Mais vous verrez qu'aujourd'hui, je suis bonne avec autrui
Repentie j'ai voulu faire marche arrière
Oui ?
Oui
Il est vrai que je connais un peu de magie
C'est un talent que j'ai toujours possédé
Qu'aujourd'hui par bonté d'âme, j'ai mis, je le proclame
Au service de tous les cas désespérés
Pathétique
Pauvres âmes en perdition
En mal de tout
Cette âme-là rêve d'être un squelette
Celle-ci cherche une amourette
Et moi qu'est-ce que je dis ?
Je dis oui
Toutes ces âmes en perdition
En mal de tout
Elles débarquent dans mes chaudrons
En braillant, Ursula sauve-nous
Et moi j'accepte, quelle question
Il est tout de même arrivé
Que l'une ne puisse pas payer
Et que j'avoue l'avoir fait frire, sans compassion
C'est vrai que j'ai eu des plaintes
Mais tous comptes faits, je suis une Sainte
Pour toutes les âmes en perdition
