Lyrics and translation Dolly Parton - Joshua (Single Version) [Remastered 2002]

Joshua (Single Version) [Remastered 2002]

Well a good way down the rail-road track,

Eh bien, en descendant le long de la voie ferrée,

There was this little old run down shack

Il y avait cette vieille cabane délabrée

And in it lived a man I'd never se-e-e-een

Et à l'intérieur vivait un homme que je n'avais jamais vu

Folk said he was a mean and a vicious man

Les gens disaient qu'il était méchant et cruel

And you'd better not set foot on his land

Et qu'il valait mieux ne pas mettre les pieds sur ses terres

But I didn't think nobody could be that mean

Mais je ne pensais pas que quelqu'un puisse être aussi méchant

So I took me out walking down the rail-road track

Alors je suis partie me promener le long de la voie ferrée

I was gonna go down to that little old shack

J'allais aller jusqu'à cette vieille cabane

An' just find out if all them things I'd heard was true

Et découvrir si tout ce que j'avais entendu était vrai

There was a big black dog laying out in the yard

Il y avait un gros chien noir qui se tenait dans la cour

And he growled at me and I swallowed hard

Il a grogné sur moi et j'ai avalé ma salive

And I heard somebody say" well, who are you?"

Et j'ai entendu quelqu'un dire "Eh bien, qui es-tu ?"

Ooh and there he stood in the door of that shack

Oh, et il se tenait là dans la porte de la cabane

And his beard and his hair was long and black

Et sa barbe et ses cheveux étaient longs et noirs

And he was the biggest man I ever seen

Et c'était le plus grand homme que j'aie jamais vu

when he spoke his voice was low and deep

Quand il parlait, sa voix était grave et profonde

but he just didnt frighten me

mais il ne m'a pas effrayée

cause somehow i just knew he wasnt mean

Car je savais qu'il n'était pas méchant

he said " what yuh doing snooping round my place"

Il a dit "Qu'est-ce que tu fais en train de fouiner autour de chez moi ?"

and i saw a smile come across his face

Et j'ai vu un sourire apparaître sur son visage

so i smiled back and i told him who i was

Alors j'ai souri en retour et je lui ai dit qui j'étais

He said " come on in, pull you up a chair,

Il a dit "Entrez, installez-vous, tirez une chaise,

You might as well since you're already here"

Vous pouvez bien le faire, puisque vous êtes déjà là"

And he said " you can call me joshua"

Et il a dit "Tu peux m'appeler Joshua"

joshua joshua what you doing living here all alone

Joshua Joshua, qu'est-ce que tu fais en vivant ici tout seul

joshua joshua aint you got nobody to call your own

Joshua Joshua, n'as-tu personne à qui parler

no no no no

Non, non, non, non

we talked till the sun was clean out of sight

On a parlé jusqu'à ce que le soleil se couche

and we still talked when it come daylight

Et on a continué à parler quand le jour est arrivé

there was just so much we had to say

On avait tellement de choses à se dire

i spent my life in an orphans home

J'ai passé ma vie dans un orphelinat

and just like him i was all alone

Et comme lui, j'étais toute seule

so i said"yeah" when he asked if i'd stay

Alors j'ai dit "Oui" quand il m'a demandé si je voulais rester

ooh we grew close as time went on

Oh, on s'est rapprochés au fil du temps

and that little ole shack it was a happy home

Et cette vieille cabane est devenue un foyer heureux

and we just couldn't help but fall in love

Et on n'a pas pu s'empêcher de tomber amoureux

that big black dog and that little ole shack

Ce gros chien noir et cette vieille cabane

sitting down by the railroad track

Assise au bord de la voie ferrée

its plenty good enough for me and joshua

C'est assez bien pour moi et Joshua

joshua joshua why your just what i've been a looking for

Joshua Joshua, tu es exactement ce que je cherchais

joshua joshua you aint gonna be lonesome anymore

Joshua Joshua, tu ne seras plus seul

oh no

Oh non

"country yodelling"

"Chant de pays yodel"

me and joshua

Moi et Joshua

me and joshua

Moi et Joshua

me and joshua

Moi et Joshua
