Lyrics and translation Big Tom & The Mainliners - Gentle Mother
Talked
with
a
stranger,
so
sad
and
alone.
J'ai
parlé
à
un
étranger,
si
triste
et
seul.
His
Garments
were
sackled,
all
tattered
and
torn
Ses
vêtements
étaient
en
lambeaux,
tous
déchirés
et
usés
He
told
me
a
story,
of
sorrow
and
woe
Il
m'a
raconté
une
histoire,
de
chagrin
et
de
malheur
His
heart
went
to
heaven,
at
the
first
fall
of
snow
Son
cœur
est
allé
au
paradis,
à
la
première
chute
de
neige
He
spoke
of
his
angel,
a
dear
baby
girl
Il
a
parlé
de
son
ange,
une
chère
petite
fille
He
loved
every
footstep,
he
loved
every
curl
Il
aimait
chaque
pas,
il
aimait
chaque
boucle
But
she
went
to
heaven,
just
one
year
ago
Mais
elle
est
allée
au
paradis,
il
y
a
juste
un
an
The
angels
came
for
her,
at
the
first
fall
of
snow
Les
anges
sont
venus
la
chercher,
à
la
première
chute
de
neige
He
still
had
the
dolly,
that
she
used
to
love
Il
avait
encore
la
poupée,
qu'elle
aimait
tant
He
held
and
caressed
it,
and
gazed
up
above
Il
la
tenait
et
la
caressait,
et
regardait
au-dessus
He
whispered
my
baby,
your
waiting
I
know
Il
chuchotait
ma
chérie,
je
sais
que
tu
attends
I'll
bring
you
your
dolly,
at
the
first
fall
of
snow
Je
t'apporterai
ta
poupée,
à
la
première
chute
de
neige
And
there
as
I
listened,
my
eyes
filled
with
tears
Et
là,
comme
j'écoutais,
mes
yeux
se
sont
remplis
de
larmes
I
knew
she
was
part
of,
his
happier
years
Je
savais
qu'elle
faisait
partie,
de
ses
années
plus
heureuses
His
frail
body
trembled,
he
spoke
soft
and
low
Son
corps
frêle
tremblait,
il
parlait
doucement
et
bas
I'll
be
with
my
baby,
at
the
first
fall
of
snow
Je
serai
avec
mon
bébé,
à
la
première
chute
de
neige
I
patted
his
shoulder,
my
feelings
to
hide
J'ai
tapoté
son
épaule,
pour
cacher
mes
sentiments
He
couldn't
know,
I
was
crying
inside
Il
ne
pouvait
pas
savoir,
que
je
pleurais
en
moi-même
He
smiled
as
we
parted,
cause
he
didn't
know
Il
a
souri
en
nous
séparant,
car
il
ne
savait
pas
That
we
lost
our
baby,
at
the
first
fall
of
snow
Que
nous
avions
perdu
notre
bébé,
à
la
première
chute
de
neige
