Lyrics and translation A. L. Lloyd - The Two Magicians




The Two Magicians
Les deux magiciens
The lady sits at her own front door
La dame est assise à sa propre porte
As straight as a willow wand
Droite comme une baguette de saule
And by there come a lusty smith
Et passe un forgeron vigoureux
With his hammer in his hand
Avec son marteau à la main
Crying bide lady bide
En criant, attends, ma belle, attends
For there's a nowhere you can hide
Car il n'y a nulle part tu puisses te cacher
For the lusty smith will be your love
Car le forgeron vigoureux sera ton amour
And he will lay your pride.
Et il brisera ta fierté.
Why do you sit there lady fair
Pourquoi es-tu assise là, ma belle
All in your robes of red
Vêtue de tes robes rouges
I'll come tomorrow at this same time
Je viendrai demain à la même heure
And have you in me bed
Et je t'aurai dans mon lit
Crying ...
En criant ...
Away away you coal black smith
Va-t-en, va-t-en, forgeron noir de charbon
Would you do me this wrong
Voulez-vous me faire ce tort
For to think to have me maiden head
De penser à prendre ma virginité
That I have kept so long
Que j'ai gardée si longtemps
I'd rather I was dead and cold
Je préférerais être morte et froide
And me body laid in the grave
Et mon corps couché dans la tombe
Than a lusty, dusty, coal black smith
Que d'un forgeron vigoureux, poussiéreux, noir de charbon
Me maiden head should have
Ma virginité soit prise
Crying ...
En criant ...
So the lady, she curled up her hand
Alors la dame serra sa main
And swore upon the mold
Et jura sur le moule
That he'd not have her maiden head
Qu'il n'aurait pas sa virginité
For all of a pot of gold.
Pour tout un pot d'or.
But the blacksmith he curled up his hand
Mais le forgeron serra sa main
And he swore upon the mast
Et jura sur le mât
That he would have her maiden head
Qu'il aurait sa virginité
For the half of that or less
Pour la moitié de cela ou moins
Crying ...
En criant ...
So the lady she turned into a dove
Alors la dame se transforma en colombe
And flew up into the air
Et s'envola dans les airs
Ah, but he became an old cock pigeon
Ah, mais il devint un vieux pigeon-ramier
And they flew pair and pair
Et ils volèrent côte à côte
Cooing ...
Roucoulant ...
So the lady she turned into a mare
Alors la dame se transforma en jument
As dark as the night was black
Aussi sombre que la nuit était noire
Ah, but he became a golden saddle
Ah, mais il devint une selle dorée
And he clumb upon to her back
Et il monta sur son dos
Itching ...
Démangeaisons ...
So the lady she turned into a hare
Alors la dame se transforma en lièvre
And ran all over the plane
Et courut sur toute la plaine
Ah, but he became a greyhound dog
Ah, mais il devint un lévrier
And ran her down again
Et la rattrapa
Barking ...
Aboyant ...
So the lady she turned into a fly
Alors la dame se transforma en mouche
And fluttered up into the air
Et s'envola dans les airs
Ah, but he became a big, hairy spider
Ah, mais il devint une grosse araignée velue
And dragged her into his lair
Et la traîna dans sa tanière
Spinning ...
Filant ...
So the lady she turned into a sheep
Alors la dame se transforma en brebis
Grazing on yon common
Broutant sur ce commun
Ah, but he became a big horny ram
Ah, mais il devint un grand bélier cornu
And soon he was upon her.
Et bientôt il fut sur elle.
Bleating ...
Bêlant ...
So she turned into a full dress ship
Alors elle se transforma en navire en grande tenue
And she sailed all over the sea
Et elle navigua sur toute la mer
Ah, but he became a bold captain
Ah, mais il devint un audacieux capitaine
And aboard of her went he
Et il monta à bord d'elle
Ordering ...
Ordonnance ...
So the lady she turned into a cloud
Alors la dame se transforma en nuage
Floating away in the air
Flottant dans les airs
Ah, but he became a lightning flash
Ah, mais il devint un éclair
And zipped right into her
Et s'est fauffilé en elle
Shocking ...
Choquant ...
So she turned into a mulberry tree
Alors elle se transforma en mûrier
A mulberry tree in the wood
Un mûrier dans les bois
Ah, but he came forth as the morning dew
Ah, mais il apparut comme la rosée du matin
And sprinkled her where she stood.
Et l'aspergea elle se tenait.
Dripping ...
Gouttant ...
So the lady she ran into the bedroom
Alors la dame courut dans la chambre
And she changed into a bed
Et elle se transforma en lit
Ah, but he became a green coverlet
Ah, mais il devint une couverture verte
And he gained her maiden head
Et il gagna sa virginité
And once she woke he took her so
Et une fois qu'elle s'est réveillée, il l'a prise ainsi
And still he bad her bide
Et il la fit toujours rester
And the lusty smith became her love
Et le forgeron vigoureux devint son amour
For all of her mighty pride.
Pour toute sa grande fierté.
