Lyrics and translation Della Reese - St James Infirmary




St James Infirmary
L'infirmerie de Saint-Jacques
It was down in Old Joe′s barroom,
C'était dans le bar d'Old Joe,
On the corner by the square,
Au coin de la place,
The usual crowd was assembled
La foule habituelle était rassemblée
And big Joe McKinney was there.
Et le grand Joe McKinney était là.
He was standing at my shoulder.
Il se tenait à mon épaule.
His eyes were bloodshot red;
Ses yeux étaient rouges injectés de sang ;
He turned to the crowd around him,
Il s'est tourné vers la foule autour de lui,
These are the very words he said:
Ce sont les mots exacts qu'il a dit :
"I went down to the St. James Infirmary
"Je suis allé à l'infirmerie de Saint-Jacques
I saw my baby there,
J'ai vu ma chérie là-bas,
She's laid out on a cold white table,
Elle est étendue sur une table blanche et froide,
So so cold, so white, so fair."
Si froide, si blanche, si belle."
"Let her go, let her go, God bless her;
"Laisse-la partir, laisse-la partir, que Dieu la bénisse ;
Wherever she may be
qu'elle soit
She may search this wide world over
Elle peut fouiller ce vaste monde
She′ll never find a sweet man like me."
Elle ne trouvera jamais un homme doux comme moi."
Oh, when I die, bury me
Oh, quand je mourrai, enterre-moi
In my high top Stetson hat;
Dans mon chapeau Stetson haut de gamme ;
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
Mets une pièce d'or de vingt dollars sur ma chaîne de montre
God'll know I died standin' pat.
Dieu saura que je suis mort debout.
I want six crap shooters for pall bearers.
Je veux six joueurs de dés pour porteurs de cercueil.
Girl to sing me a song.
Une fille pour me chanter une chanson.
Put a jazz band on my hearse wagon.
Mets un groupe de jazz sur mon char funéraire.
Raise Hell as I roll along.
Fais l'enfer alors que je roule.
Roll out your rubber tired carriage,
Roule ton carrosse à pneus en caoutchouc,
Roll out your old time hat.
Roule ton chapeau d'autrefois.
Twelve men going to the graveyard
Douze hommes allant au cimetière
And eleven coming back.
Et onze qui reviennent.
Now that I′ve told my story,
Maintenant que j'ai raconté mon histoire,
I′ll take another shot of booze.
Je prendrai un autre verre d'alcool.
And if anyone should happen to ask you,
Et si quelqu'un devait te le demander,
I've got those gamblers′ blues.
J'ai le blues des joueurs.
