The Weavers - On Top of Old Smokey - translation of the lyrics into French

Lyrics and translation The Weavers - On Top of Old Smokey




On Top of Old Smokey
Au sommet du vieux Smokey
All covered with snow
Tout couvert de neige
I lost my true lover
J'ai perdu ma vraie amoureuse
For courtin' so slow
Pour avoir courtisé si lentement
For courting's a pleasure (for courting's a pleasure)
Car la cour est un plaisir (car la cour est un plaisir)
But parting is grief (but parting is grief)
Mais la séparation est un chagrin (mais la séparation est un chagrin)
And the false hearted lover (and the false hearted lover)
Et l'amoureux au cœur faux (et l'amoureux au cœur faux)
Is worse than a thief (is worse than a thief)
Est pire qu'un voleur (est pire qu'un voleur)
A thief will just rob you (a thief will just rob you)
Un voleur te dérobera (un voleur te dérobera)
And take what you have (and take what you have)
Et prendra ce que tu as (et prendra ce que tu as)
But a false hearted lover (but a false hearted lover)
Mais un amoureux au cœur faux (mais un amoureux au cœur faux)
Will lead you to the grave (will lead you to the grave)
Te mènera à la tombe (te mènera à la tombe)
And the grave will decay you (and the grave will decay you)
Et la tombe te décomposera (et la tombe te décomposera)
Turn you to dust (and turn you to dust)
Te transformera en poussière (et te transformera en poussière)
Not one boy in a hundred (not one boy in a hundred)
Pas un garçon sur cent (pas un garçon sur cent)
A poor girl can trust (a poor girl can trust)
Qu'une pauvre fille peut croire (qu'une pauvre fille peut croire)
How do!
Comment ça !
They'll hug you and kiss you (they'll hug you and kiss you)
Ils te serreront dans leurs bras et t'embrasseront (ils te serreront dans leurs bras et t'embrasseront)
Tell you more lies (and tell you more lies)
Te diront plus de mensonges (et te diront plus de mensonges)
Than cross ties on a railroad (than cross ties on a railroad)
Que de traverses sur une voie ferrée (que de traverses sur une voie ferrée)
Or the stars in the sky (or stars in the sky)
Ou d'étoiles dans le ciel (ou d'étoiles dans le ciel)
So come all you young maidens (come all you young maidens)
Alors venez toutes, jeunes demoiselles (venez toutes, jeunes demoiselles)
And listen to me (and listen to me)
Et écoutez-moi (et écoutez-moi)
Never place your affection (never place your affection)
Ne placez jamais votre affection (ne placez jamais votre affection)
On a green willow tree (on a green willow tree)
Sur un saule pleureur (sur un saule pleureur)
For the leaves they will wither (the leaves they will wither)
Car les feuilles vont se faner (les feuilles vont se faner)
And roots they will die (the roots they will die)
Et les racines vont mourir (les racines vont mourir)
You'll all be forsaken (you'll all be forsaken)
Vous serez toutes abandonnées (vous serez toutes abandonnées)
And never know why (and never know why)
Et vous ne saurez jamais pourquoi (et vous ne saurez jamais pourquoi)
