Lyrics and translation Burl Ives - Big Rock Candy Mountain - Remastered
One
evening
as
the
sun
went
down
Un
soir,
alors
que
le
soleil
se
couchait
And
the
jungle
fires
were
burning,
Et
que
les
feux
de
forêt
brûlaient,
Down
the
track
came
a
hobo
hiking,
Sur
la
piste,
un
vagabond
marchait,
And
he
said,
"Boys,
I′m
not
turning
Et
il
a
dit
: "Mes
amis,
je
ne
me
retourne
pas
I'm
headed
for
a
land
that′s
far
away
Je
me
dirige
vers
une
terre
lointaine
Besides
the
crystal
fountains
Près
des
fontaines
de
cristal
So
come
with
me,
we'll
go
and
see
Alors
viens
avec
moi,
nous
irons
voir
The
Big
Rock
Candy
Mountains
Les
montagnes
de
Big
Rock
Candy
In
the
Big
Rock
Candy
Mountains,
Dans
les
montagnes
de
Big
Rock
Candy,
There's
a
land
that′s
fair
and
bright,
Il
y
a
une
terre
juste
et
lumineuse,
Where
the
handouts
grow
on
bushes
Où
les
dons
poussent
sur
les
buissons
And
you
sleep
out
every
night.
Et
où
tu
dors
dehors
toutes
les
nuits.
Where
the
boxcars
all
are
empty
Où
les
wagons
de
marchandises
sont
tous
vides
And
the
sun
shines
every
day
Et
où
le
soleil
brille
tous
les
jours
And
the
birds
and
the
bees
Et
où
les
oiseaux
et
les
abeilles
And
the
cigarette
trees
Et
les
arbres
à
cigarettes
The
lemonade
springs
Les
sources
de
limonade
Where
the
bluebird
sings
Où
le
merle
bleu
chante
In
the
Big
Rock
Candy
Mountains.
Dans
les
montagnes
de
Big
Rock
Candy.
In
the
Big
Rock
Candy
Mountains
Dans
les
montagnes
de
Big
Rock
Candy
All
the
cops
have
wooden
legs
Tous
les
flics
ont
des
jambes
en
bois
And
the
bulldogs
all
have
rubber
teeth
Et
les
bulldogs
ont
tous
des
dents
en
caoutchouc
And
the
hens
lay
soft-boiled
eggs
Et
les
poules
pondent
des
œufs
à
la
coque
The
farmers′
trees
are
full
of
fruit
Les
arbres
des
fermiers
sont
pleins
de
fruits
And
the
barns
are
full
of
hay
Et
les
granges
sont
pleines
de
foin
Oh
I'm
bound
to
go
Oh,
je
suis
déterminé
à
aller
Where
there
ain′t
no
snow
Où
il
n'y
a
pas
de
neige
Where
the
rain
don't
fall
Où
la
pluie
ne
tombe
pas
The
winds
don′t
blow
Où
les
vents
ne
soufflent
pas
In
the
Big
Rock
Candy
Mountains.
Dans
les
montagnes
de
Big
Rock
Candy.
In
the
Big
Rock
Candy
Mountains
Dans
les
montagnes
de
Big
Rock
Candy
You
never
change
your
socks
Tu
ne
changes
jamais
de
chaussettes
And
the
little
streams
of
alcohol
Et
les
petits
ruisseaux
d'alcool
Come
trickling
down
the
rocks
Viennent
ruisseler
sur
les
rochers
The
brakemen
have
to
tip
their
hats
Les
serre-freins
doivent
ôter
leur
chapeau
And
the
railway
bulls
are
blind
Et
les
gendarmes
sont
aveugles
There's
a
lake
of
stew
Il
y
a
un
lac
de
ragoût
And
of
whiskey
too
Et
de
whisky
aussi
You
can
paddle
all
around
it
Tu
peux
pagayer
tout
autour
In
a
big
canoe
Dans
un
grand
canoë
In
the
Big
Rock
Candy
Mountains
Dans
les
montagnes
de
Big
Rock
Candy
In
the
Big
Rock
Candy
Mountains,
Dans
les
montagnes
de
Big
Rock
Candy,
The
jails
are
made
of
tin.
Les
prisons
sont
en
étain
And
you
can
walk
right
out
again,
Et
tu
peux
ressortir
directement,
As
soon
as
you
are
in.
Dès
que
tu
es
entré.
There
ain′t
no
short-handled
shovels,
Il
n'y
a
pas
de
pelles
à
manche
court,
No
axes,
saws
nor
picks,
Pas
de
haches,
de
scies
ni
de
pioches,
I'm
bound
to
stay
Je
suis
déterminé
à
rester
Where
you
sleep
all
day,
Où
tu
dors
toute
la
journée,
Where
they
hung
the
jerk
Où
ils
ont
pendu
le
crétin
That
invented
work
Qui
a
inventé
le
travail
In
the
Big
Rock
Candy
Mountains.
Dans
les
montagnes
de
Big
Rock
Candy.
I'll
see
you
all
this
coming
fall
Je
vous
verrai
tous
cet
automne
In
the
Big
Rock
Candy
Mountains
Dans
les
montagnes
de
Big
Rock
Candy
