Sixteen Tons - B.B. Kingtranslation in French




Sixteen Tons
Seize-tonnes
Some people says the man′s made out of mud,
Certaines personnes disent que l'homme est fait de boue,
Some people says of muscle and blood
D'autres disent de muscle et de sang
Muscle and blood and skin and bone,
Muscle et sang et peau et os,
A mind that's week and a back that′s strong
Un esprit faible et un dos fort
You load sixteen tons, so what do you get,
Tu charges seize tonnes, alors qu'est-ce que tu obtiens,
Another day older and deeper in debt
Un jour de plus, plus vieux et plus endetté
So, St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can′t go,
Alors, Saint-Pierre, ne m'appelle pas, car je ne peux pas y aller,
I owe my soul to the company store
Je dois mon âme à la cantine de l'entreprise
I was born one morning when the sun didn′t shine,
Je suis un matin le soleil ne brillait pas,
Picked up my shovel and I went to the mine
J'ai pris ma pelle et je suis allé à la mine
I loaded sixteen ton of number nine coal,
J'ai chargé seize tonnes de charbon numéro neuf,
The straw-boss said, "God-dog your soul"
Le contremaître a dit : "Dieu, ton âme"
You load sixteen tons and, now, what do you get,
Tu charges seize tonnes et, maintenant, qu'est-ce que tu obtiens,
Another day older and deeper in debt
Un jour de plus, plus vieux et plus endetté
So, St. Peter don't you call me ′cause I can't go,
Alors, Saint-Pierre, ne m'appelle pas, car je ne peux pas y aller,
I owe my soul to the company store
Je dois mon âme à la cantine de l'entreprise
I was born one mornin′ when it was drizzle in rain,
Je suis un matin il pleuvait à verse,
Fightin' and shootin′ is my middle name
Se battre et tirer est mon deuxième prénom
Born in a canebreak
dans une canne à sucre
By an ol' mama hound,
Par une vieille chienne maman,
No high-tone mama can make me walk the line
Aucune maman haut de gamme ne peut me faire marcher sur la ligne
I load sixteen tons, so what do you get,
Je charge seize tonnes, alors qu'est-ce que tu obtiens,
Another day older and deeper in debt
Un jour de plus, plus vieux et plus endetté
So, St. Peter don't you call me ′cause I can′t go,
Alors, Saint-Pierre, ne m'appelle pas, car je ne peux pas y aller,
I owe my soul to the company store
Je dois mon âme à la cantine de l'entreprise
You see me comin' you better step aside,
Tu me vois venir, tu ferais mieux de te mettre de côté,
A lot of men didn′t and a whole lot of them died
Beaucoup d'hommes ne l'ont pas fait et beaucoup d'entre eux sont morts
One fist of iron and one of steal,
Un poing de fer et un de l'acier,
The right one don't get you, boy, the left one will
Si le droit ne te prend pas, mon garçon, le gauche le fera
So, load sixteen ton, what do you get,
Alors, charge seize tonnes, qu'est-ce que tu obtiens,
Another day older and deeper in debt
Un jour de plus, plus vieux et plus endetté
So, St. Peter don′t you call me 'cause I can′t go,
Alors, Saint-Pierre, ne m'appelle pas, car je ne peux pas y aller,
I owe my soul to the company store
Je dois mon âme à la cantine de l'entreprise
