Lyrics and translation Casey Bill Weldon - Flood Water Blues - No. 1




Flood Water Blues - No. 1
Flood Water Blues - No. 1
It's high water in the east, has flooded all that river town
L'eau est haute à l'est, elle a inondé toute cette ville fluviale
It's high water in the east, has flooded all that river town
L'eau est haute à l'est, elle a inondé toute cette ville fluviale
Ev'rybody's gettin' warnin' to go to the hills before the dawn
Tout le monde reçoit un avertissement d'aller dans les collines avant l'aube
So I caught a train, I got back home at the break of day
Alors j'ai pris un train, je suis rentré chez moi à l'aube
Oh, I caught a train, got back home about the break of day
Oh, j'ai pris un train, je suis rentré chez moi à l'aube
I looked for my house, the river had taken my house away
J'ai cherché ma maison, la rivière l'avait emportée
I rowed a boat across the river, the water was rough as it could be
J'ai ramé un bateau à travers la rivière, l'eau était aussi agitée que possible
I rowed a boat across this river, water was rough as it could be
J'ai ramé un bateau à travers cette rivière, l'eau était aussi agitée que possible
I hear the women and children screamin', "Ooh-hoo, please save poor me!"
J'entends les femmes et les enfants crier, "Ooh-hoo, s'il te plaît, sauve moi!"
And then I tried so hard to turn my boat around
Et puis j'ai essayé si fort de faire demi-tour avec mon bateau
Then I tried so hard to turn my boat around
Puis j'ai essayé si fort de faire demi-tour avec mon bateau
But that water was so rough, it turned my boat upside down
Mais l'eau était si agitée qu'elle a retourné mon bateau
Oh, I was satisfied, I didn't have to moan and cry
Oh, j'étais satisfait, je n'avais pas à pleurer et à geindre
I was satisfied, I didn't have to moan and cry
J'étais satisfait, je n'avais pas à pleurer et à geindre
Because when I looked upstream, I seen that mule come swimmin' by
Parce que quand j'ai regardé en amont, j'ai vu ce mulet nager
I caught that mule and went swimmin' down the stream
J'ai attrapé ce mulet et je suis allé nager en aval
I caught that mule and went swimmin' down the stream
J'ai attrapé ce mulet et je suis allé nager en aval
And I rode that mule, ooh-hoo, to the nearest hill I seen
Et j'ai monté ce mulet, ooh-hoo, jusqu'à la colline la plus proche que j'ai vue
