Lyrics and translation Burl Ives - Venezuela
I
met
her
in
Venezuela
Je
l'ai
rencontrée
au
Venezuela
With
a
basket
on
her
head
Avec
un
panier
sur
la
tête
And
if
she
loved
others
she
didn't
say
Et
si
elle
aimait
d'autres,
elle
ne
le
disait
pas
But
I
knew
she
do,
to
pass
away
the
time
in
Venezuela
Mais
je
savais
qu'elle
le
faisait,
pour
passer
le
temps
au
Venezuela
Pass
away
the
time
in
Venezuela
Passer
le
temps
au
Venezuela
I
gave
her
a
sash
of
blue
Je
lui
ai
donné
une
écharpe
bleue
A
beautiful
sash
of
blue
Une
belle
écharpe
bleue
Because
I
knew
that
she
could
do
with
all
the
tricks,
I
knew
she
knew
Parce
que
je
savais
qu'elle
pouvait
faire
toutes
les
tours,
je
savais
qu'elle
le
savait
To
pass
away
the
time
in
Venezuela
Pour
passer
le
temps
au
Venezuela
And
when
the
wind
was
out
to
sea,
the
wind
was
out
to
sea
Et
quand
le
vent
était
en
mer,
le
vent
était
en
mer
And
she
was
taking
leave
of
me
Et
elle
me
faisait
ses
adieux
I
said
sheer
up
there'll
always
be
Je
lui
ai
dit
de
prendre
son
temps,
il
y
aura
toujours
Sailors
on
shore
on
leave
in
Venezuela
Des
marins
à
terre
en
permission
au
Venezuela
Her
linger
was
changed
but
the
thought
of
her
beautiful
smile
Son
départ
m'a
fait
de
la
peine,
mais
la
pensée
de
son
beau
sourire
The
thought
of
her
beautiful
smile
La
pensée
de
son
beau
sourire
Will
haunt
me
and
taunt
me
for
many
a
mile
Me
hantera
et
me
narguera
pendant
de
nombreux
kilomètres
She
was
my
gal
and
she
did
the
wale
Elle
était
ma
fille
et
elle
a
fait
la
fête
To
pass
a
time
in
Venezuela
Pour
passer
du
temps
au
Venezuela
