Lyrics and translation Paul Robeson - My Old Kentucky Home




My Old Kentucky Home
Ma vieille maison du Kentucky
Turpentine and dandelion wine, I've turned the corner, an' I'm doin' fine.
De la térébenthine et du vin de pissenlit, j'ai tourné la page et je vais bien.
Shootin' at the birds on the telephone line; Pickin' 'em off with this gun o' mine.
Je tire sur les oiseaux sur la ligne téléphonique ; Je les élimine avec mon fusil.
Got a fire in my belly and a fire in my head, Going higher and higher 'til I'm dead.
J'ai le feu au ventre et le feu à la tête, Je monte de plus en plus haut jusqu'à ce que je meure.
Sister Sue is short and stout, She didn't grow up, she grew out.
Ma sœur Sue est petite et trapue, Elle n'a pas grandi, elle a grossi.
Momma says she's plain, but she's just being kind.
Maman dit qu'elle est simple, mais elle est juste gentille.
Papa thinks she's pretty, but he's almost blind.
Papa pense qu'elle est belle, mais il est presque aveugle.
Don't let her out much except at night.
On ne la laisse pas sortir beaucoup, sauf la nuit.
But I don't care 'cause I'm all right.
Mais je m'en fiche car je vais bien.
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home.
Oh, le soleil brille fort sur ma vieille maison du Kentucky.
Young folks roll on the floor.
Les jeunes gens se roulent par terre.
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home.
Oh, le soleil brille fort sur ma vieille maison du Kentucky.
Keep them hard times away from my door.
Garde ces moments difficiles loin de ma porte.
Brother Gene is big and mean, And he don't have much to say.
Mon frère Gene est grand et méchant, Et il n'a pas grand-chose à dire.
He had a little woman who he whooped each day, But now she's gone away.
Il avait une petite femme qu'il battait chaque jour, Mais maintenant elle est partie.
Got drunk last night, kicked momma down the stairs, But I'm all right, so I don't care.
Il s'est saoulé hier soir, il a donné des coups de pied à maman dans les escaliers, Mais je vais bien, alors je m'en fiche.
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home.
Oh, le soleil brille fort sur ma vieille maison du Kentucky.
And the young folks are rollin' on the floor.
Et les jeunes gens se roulent par terre.
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home.
Oh, le soleil brille fort sur ma vieille maison du Kentucky.
Keep them hard times away from my door.
Garde ces moments difficiles loin de ma porte.
Turpentine and dandelion wine, I've turned the corner, an' I'm doin' fine.
De la térébenthine et du vin de pissenlit, j'ai tourné la page et je vais bien.
Shootin' at the birds on the telephone line; Pickin' 'em off with this gun o' mine.
Je tire sur les oiseaux sur la ligne téléphonique ; Je les élimine avec mon fusil.
Got a fire in my belly and a fire in my head, Goin' higher and higher 'till I'm dead.
J'ai le feu au ventre et le feu à la tête, Je monte de plus en plus haut jusqu'à ce que je meure.
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home.
Oh, le soleil brille fort sur ma vieille maison du Kentucky.
And the young folks are rollin' on the floor.
Et les jeunes gens se roulent par terre.
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home.
Oh, le soleil brille fort sur ma vieille maison du Kentucky.
Keep them hard times away from my door.
Garde ces moments difficiles loin de ma porte.
Keep them hard times away from my door.
Garde ces moments difficiles loin de ma porte.
