Lyrics and translation CharlElie Couture - Maison soleil levant

Maison soleil levant

Y′a une maison à Nouvelle-Orléans
Que l'on appelle Soleil Levant
C′est là que joue les âmes en peine
Ceux qui ont pas eu de veine

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been ruin of many poor boy
And God I know I'm one

Ma mère était une couturière
Qui faisait mes habits
Mon père avait franchi la barrière
To be or not to be

My mother was a taylor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin′ man
Down in New Orleans

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it′s been ruin of many poor boy
And God I know I'm one

Maison soleil levant (House of the Rising Sun)

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
It's where the sinners play
The blues away

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a seamstress
Who made my clothes
My father crossed the barrier
To be or not to be

My mother was a taylor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin′ man
Down in New Orleans

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it′s been ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
