Sullivan's Letter
La lettre de Sullivan
Sullivan Ballou,
Sullivan Ballou,
July of 1861,
juillet 1861,
Wrote to his wife
A écrit à sa femme
And seven odd days later
Et sept jours plus tard
He lost his life
Il a perdu la vie
In the First Battle of Bull Run.
Dans la première bataille de Bull Run.
And the letter read...
Et la lettre disait...
When the breeze
Quand la brise
Brushes against your cheek,
Effleure ta joue,
Heaven is sending you
Le ciel t'envoie
My breath.
Mon souffle.
Oh, my Sarah, dear,
Oh, ma chère Sarah,
Do not mourn me dead.
Ne pleure pas ma mort.
Think I am gone and wait for me,
Crois que je suis partie et attends-moi,
For we shall meet again.
Car nous nous retrouverons.
My love for you is deathless.
Mon amour pour toi est éternel.
Unlike the flesh of men,
Contrairement à la chair des hommes,
So if my love of country
Alors si mon amour pour la patrie
Leaves me breathless
Me laisse sans souffle
And I cannot write you, my love, again,
Et que je ne puisse plus t'écrire, mon amour,
Remember...
Souviens-toi...
When the breeze
Quand la brise
Brushes against your cheek,
Effleure ta joue,
Heaven is sending you
Le ciel t'envoie
My breath.
Mon souffle.
Oh, my Sarah, dear,
Oh, ma chère Sarah,
Do not mourn me dead.
Ne pleure pas ma mort.
Think I am gone and wait for me,
Crois que je suis partie et attends-moi,
For we shall meet again.
Car nous nous retrouverons.
And our future lies
Et notre avenir se trouve
In ashes.
En cendres.
And Sarah, you must rise
Et Sarah, tu dois te relever
From ashes.
Des cendres.
When the breeze
Quand la brise
Brushes against your cheek,
Effleure ta joue,
Heaven is sending you
Le ciel t'envoie
My breath.
Mon souffle.
When the breeze
Quand la brise
Brushes against your cheek,
Effleure ta joue,
Heaven is sending you
Le ciel t'envoie
My breath.
Mon souffle.
Oh, my Sarah...
Oh, ma Sarah...
Wait for me, for we shall meet again.
Attends-moi, car nous nous retrouverons.
Sullivan...
Sullivan...
