Mississ-ippi river

Le fleuve Mississippi

Is so long, deep and wide

Est si long, profond et large

I can see my good girl

Je peux voir ma chère

Standin' on that other side

Debout de l'autre côté

I cried an I called

J'ai pleuré et j'ai appelé

I could not make my baby hear

Je ne pouvais pas faire entendre ma petite

Lord, I'm 'on get me a boat, woman

Seigneur, je vais me trouver un bateau, ma chérie

Paddle on away from here

Pagayer loin d'ici

(Guitar)

(Guitare)

Ain't it hard to love someone

N'est-ce pas difficile d'aimer quelqu'un

When they are so far from you

Quand ils sont si loin de toi

Lord, I'm on' get me a boat and

Seigneur, je vais me trouver un bateau et

Paddle this old river blue

Pagayer sur ce vieux fleuve bleu

I went down to the landing

Je suis allé au débarcadère

To see if any boats were there

Pour voir s'il y avait des bateaux

And the fareman told me

Et le receveur m'a dit

Could not find the boats nowhere

Ne pouvait pas trouver de bateaux nulle part

(Guitar)

(Guitare)

The big boat ease up the river

Le grand bateau qui remonte le fleuve

Are turnin' 'round an 'round

Tournent en rond

Lord, I'm 'on get me a good girl

Seigneur, je vais me trouver une belle

Or jump overboard an drown.

Ou sauter par-dessus bord et me noyer.
