Lyrics and translation Bella Hardy - Young Edmund




Young Edmund
Le jeune Edmund
Young Emily was a servant girl, her lover a sailor bold
La jeune Emily était une servante, son amant un marin courageux
He ploughed the main much gold to gain for Emily we are told
Il sillonnait les mers pour amasser de l'or pour Emily, comme on nous le raconte
When seven years had gone and passed he did return him home
Lorsque sept années furent passées, il rentra chez lui
To show the gold that he had gained down on the lowlands low
Pour montrer l'or qu'il avait gagné dans les basses terres
Her father kept a public house, it stood down by the sea
Son père tenait une auberge, elle se trouvait près de la mer
"Young Edmund you can enter there and all night you can stay
"Jeune Edmund, tu peux entrer et rester toute la nuit
And I'll meet you here tomorrow, just don't you let my father know
Et je te retrouverai ici demain, mais ne révèle pas à mon père
That your name it is that young Edmund who ploughed the lowlands low"
Que tu t'appelles Edmund, le jeune homme qui a sillonné les basses terres"
As Edmund he did enter there, well all his gold he did show
Alors Edmund entra, et montra tout son or
Said Emily's cruel father, "This gold shall be your foe
Le père d'Emily, cruel, dit : "Cet or sera ton ennemi
For your wealth and all you money shall soon my fortunes grow
Car ta richesse et ton argent feront croître ma fortune
And I'll send your body sinking down into the lowlands low"
Et je ferai sombrer ton corps dans les basses terres"
As Edmund on his pillow lay and scarce had fell asleep
Alors que Edmund était couché sur son oreiller, à peine endormi
It's Emily's cruel father into the room he did creep
Le père cruel d'Emily se faufila dans la pièce
He has dragged and raised him out of bed and to the sea he did go
Il l'a traîné hors du lit et l'a emmené vers la mer
And he's sent his body sinking down into the lowlands low
Et il a fait sombrer son corps dans les basses terres
As Emily on her pillow lay, she had a frightful dream
Alors que Emily était couchée sur son oreiller, elle fit un cauchemar terrible
She dreamt she saw her young Edmund laid in a crystal stream
Elle rêva qu'elle voyait son jeune Edmund couché dans un ruisseau cristallin
And so early the next morning to her father's house she did go
Et très tôt le lendemain matin, elle alla chez son père
Because she loved him dearly who ploughed the lowlands low
Car elle l'aimait profondément, celui qui avait sillonné les basses terres
"Oh father where's the stranger, come here last night to lie?"
"Oh père, est l'étranger, qui est venu dormir ici hier soir ?"
"Oh he is dead, no tales he'll tell" her father did reply.
"Oh, il est mort, il ne racontera plus d'histoires," répondit son père.
"Oh father, cruel father, you shall die a public show
"Oh père, père cruel, tu mourras en spectacle public
For the murder of that young Edmund who ploughed the lowlands low"
Pour le meurtre de ce jeune Edmund, qui a sillonné les basses terres"
It's Emily's cruel father, could day nor night take rest
Le père cruel d'Emily ne put trouver le repos, ni jour ni nuit
For the murder of this young Edmund he therefore did confess
Pour le meurtre de ce jeune Edmund, il avoua
He was tried and he was sentenced and he died a public show
Il fut jugé, condamné et mourut en spectacle public
For the murder of that young Edmund who ploughed the lowlands low
Pour le meurtre de ce jeune Edmund, qui a sillonné les basses terres
