The Greenland Fisheries (Live)
La pêche au Groenland (en direct)
When
the
whale
gets
striked
and
the
line
run
down
Quand
la
baleine
est
frappée
et
que
la
ligne
descend
And
the
whale
makes
a
flunder
with
his
tail
Et
que
la
baleine
se
débat
avec
sa
queue
And
the
boat
capsized
and
I
lost
my
darlin′
man
Et
que
le
bateau
chavire
et
que
je
perds
mon
cher
homme
No
more
no
more
Greenland
for
you
brave
boys
Plus
jamais
plus
jamais
le
Groenland
pour
vous
braves
garçons
No
more
no
more
Greenland
for
you
Plus
jamais
plus
jamais
le
Groenland
pour
toi
'Twas
in
eighteen
hundred
and
sixty
three
C'était
en
mille
huit
cent
soixante-trois
Of
June
the
thirteenth
day
Le
treizième
jour
de
juin
That
our
gallant
ship
her
anchor
weighed
Que
notre
vaillant
navire
a
levé
l'ancre
And
for
Greenland
bore
away
brave
boys
Et
a
mis
le
cap
sur
le
Groenland
braves
garçons
For
Greenland
bore
away
A
mis
le
cap
sur
le
Groenland
The
look-out
in
the
crosstree
stood
La
vigie
dans
le
mât
se
tenait
debout
With
a
spy-glass
in
his
hand
Avec
une
longue-vue
à
la
main
There′s
a
whale
there's
a
whale
there's
a
whale-fish
he
cried
Il
y
a
une
baleine
une
baleine
une
baleine
criait-il
She
blows
at
every
span
brave
boys
Elle
souffle
à
chaque
brassée
braves
garçons
She
blows
at
every
span
Elle
souffle
à
chaque
brassée
Well
we
struck
that
whale
and
the
line
paid
out
Eh
bien,
nous
avons
frappé
cette
baleine
et
la
ligne
s'est
déroulée
But
she
made
a
flunder
with
her
tail
Mais
elle
s'est
débattue
avec
sa
queue
The
boat
capsized
and
I
lost
my
darlin′
man
Le
bateau
a
chaviré
et
j'ai
perdu
mon
cher
homme
And
we
never
caught
that
whale
brave
boys
Et
nous
n'avons
jamais
attrapé
cette
baleine
braves
garçons
We
never
caught
that
whale
Nous
n'avons
jamais
attrapé
cette
baleine
Oh
Greenland
is
a
dreadful
place
Oh
le
Groenland
est
un
endroit
terrible
A
land
that′s
never
green
Une
terre
qui
n'est
jamais
verte
Where
there's
ice
and
snow
and
the
whale-fishes
blow
Où
il
y
a
de
la
glace
et
de
la
neige
et
où
les
baleines
soufflent
And
daylight′s
seldom
seen
brave
boys
Et
où
la
lumière
du
jour
est
rarement
visible
braves
garçons
And
daylight's
seldom
seen
Et
où
la
lumière
du
jour
est
rarement
visible
