Lyrics and translation Burl Ives - Cowboy's Lament (Remastered)
As
I
walked
out
in
the
streets
of
Laredo
Alors
que
je
marchais
dans
les
rues
de
Laredo
As
I
walked
out
in
Laredo
one
day
Alors
que
je
marchais
dans
Laredo
un
jour
I
spied
a
young
cowboy
all
wrapped
in
white
linen
J'ai
aperçu
un
jeune
cowboy
enveloppé
de
linge
blanc
Wrapped
in
white
linen
as
cold
as
the
clay
Enveloppé
de
linge
blanc,
froid
comme
l'argile
I
see
by
your
outfit
that
you
are
a
cowboy
Je
vois
par
ta
tenue
que
tu
es
un
cowboy
These
words
he
did
say
as
I
boldly
walked
by
Ces
mots
qu'il
dit
alors
que
je
passais
courageusement
Come
sit
down
beside
me
and
hear
my
sad
story
Viens
t'asseoir
à
côté
de
moi
et
écoute
mon
histoire
triste
I'm
shot
in
the
breast
and
I
know
I
must
die
Je
suis
touché
à
la
poitrine
et
je
sais
que
je
dois
mourir
It
was
once
in
the
saddle
I
used
to
go
dashing
C'était
autrefois
dans
la
selle
que
j'avais
l'habitude
de
foncer
Once
in
the
saddle
I
used
to
go
gay
Autrefois
dans
la
selle,
j'avais
l'habitude
d'être
gai
First
down
to
Rosie's
and
then
to
the
card
house
D'abord
chez
Rosie,
puis
à
la
maison
de
cartes
Got
shot
in
the
breast
and
I'm
dying
today
J'ai
été
touché
à
la
poitrine
et
je
meurs
aujourd'hui
Get
sixteen
gamblers
to
carry
my
coffin
Prends
seize
joueurs
pour
porter
mon
cercueil
Get
six
jolly
cowboys
to
sing
me
a
song
Prends
six
cowboys
joyeux
pour
me
chanter
une
chanson
Take
me
to
the
graveyard
and
lay
the
sod
o'er
me
Emmène-moi
au
cimetière
et
étends
la
terre
sur
moi
For
I'm
a
young
cowboy
and
I

I've
done
wrong

je
suis
un

je
sais
que
j'ai

le
mal

moi

cowboy,
I

Oh

slowly
and

the
fife
lowly
Oh,
frappe
le
tambour
lentement
et
joue
de
la
flûte
doucement
Play
the
Dead
March
as
they
carry
me
along
Joue
la
Marche

my
coffin

bouquets
de
roses

mon
cercueil

deaden
the
