Tattle O'Day - Unreleased, Self Portrait
Tattle O'Day - Inédit, Self Portrait
I buyed me a little dog, color it was brown
Je me suis acheté un petit chien, de couleur brune
I learned him how to whistle, sing and dance and run
Je lui ai appris à siffler, à chanter, à danser et à courir
His legs they were 14 yards long, his ears they were quite broad
Ses pattes étaient longues de 14 yards, ses oreilles étaient assez larges
Around the world in a half a day and on him I could ride
Autour du monde en une demi-journée, et je pouvais le monter
Sing tattle o'day
Chante tattle o'day
I buyed me a little bull, about four inches high
Je me suis acheté un petit taureau, d'environ quatre pouces de haut
Everybody feared him, that ever heard him cry
Tout le monde le craignait, tous ceux qui l'avaient entendu crier
When he begins to bellow, it made such melodious sound
Quand il commençait à beugler, cela faisait un son si mélodieux
'Til all the walls in London town came tumbling to the ground
Que tous les murs de Londres sont tombés
Sing tattle o'day
Chante tattle o'day
I buyed me a flock of sheep, I thought they were all wethers
Je me suis acheté un troupeau de moutons, je pensais qu'ils étaient tous des béliers
Sometimes they yielded wool, sometimes they yielded feathers
Parfois ils donnaient de la laine, parfois ils donnaient des plumes
I think mine are the very best sheep, for yielding me increase
Je pense que les miens sont les meilleurs moutons, pour me donner de l'augmentation
For every full and change of the moon, they bring both lambs and geese
Pour chaque pleine lune et chaque nouvelle lune, ils m'apportent des agneaux et des oies
Sing tattle o'day
Chante tattle o'day
I buyed me a little box, about four acres square
Je me suis acheté une petite boîte, d'environ quatre acres carrés
I filled it full of guineas, and silver so fair
Je l'ai remplie de guinées, et d'argent si beau
Oh, now I'm bound for Turkey, I'll travel like an ox
Oh, maintenant je vais en Turquie, je vais voyager comme un boeuf
And in my breeches pocket, I'll carry my little box
Et dans la poche de mon pantalon, je vais porter ma petite boîte
Sing tattle o'day
Chante tattle o'day
I buyed me a little hen, all speckled gay and fair
Je me suis acheté une petite poule, toute mouchetée et belle
I sat her on an oyster shell, she hatched me out a hare
Je l'ai mise sur une coquille d'huître, elle m'a pondu un lièvre
The hare it sprang a handsome horse, full fifteen hands high
Le lièvre est devenu un beau cheval, de quinze mains de haut
And him that tells a bigger tale would have to tell a lie
Et celui qui raconte une histoire plus grande devrait mentir
Sing tattle o'day
Chante tattle o'day
