Lyrics and translation Eddie Constantine - Pleure pas Nelly




Pleure pas Nelly
Don't Cry Nelly
Pleure pas nelly
Don't cry Nelly
Pleure pas nelly
Don't cry Nelly
Demain on va me pendre
Tomorrow they're going to hang me
Pleure pas Nelly
Don't cry Nelly
Pleure pas Nelly
Don't cry Nelly
Demain tout s'ra fini
Tomorrow it'll all be over
Tu diras à ma mère
Tell my mother
Que je l'aimais beaucoup
That I loved her very much
Mais je n'ai su que lui faire
But all I ever did was hurt her
Du mal et voilà tout
And that is all
J'aimais son doux sourire
I loved her gentle smile
Ses larmes sont front pur
Her tears were so pure
Et j'pourrais rien lui dire
And I had nothing to say to her
J'avais le cœur trop dur.
My heart was too hard
Pleure pas nelly
Don't cry Nelly
Pleure pas nelly
Don't cry Nelly
Demain on va me pendre
Tomorrow they're going to hang me
Pleure pas Nelly
Don't cry Nelly
Pleure pas Nelly
Don't cry Nelly
Demain tout s'ra fini
Tomorrow it'll all be over
Tu diras à mon père
Tell my father
Qui a tant travaillé
Who worked so hard
Que si j'lécoutait guère
That if I rarely listened to him
Après j'ai bien r'gretté
Later I regretted it
J'aimais ses mains calleuses
I loved his calloused hands
Ses yeux de chien battu
His eyes like a beaten dog
La vie n'est pas fameuse
Life is not great
Pour ceux qui n'ont rien eu
For those who have nothing
Pleure pas nelly
Don't cry Nelly
Pleure pas nelly
Don't cry Nelly
Demain on va me pendre
Tomorrow they're going to hang me
Pleure pas Nelly
Don't cry Nelly
Pleure pas Nelly
Don't cry Nelly
Demain tout s'ra fini
Tomorrow it'll all be over
Et toi ma p'tit' soeurette
And you my little sister
Si tu penses à ton frère
If you think of your brother
Tu mettras trois fleurettes
You'll put three little flowers
Sur ma tombe au cim'tière
On my grave in the cemetery
Tu brûleras un cierge
You'll burn a candle
Pour qu'on m'sort de l'enfer
To get me out of hell
Et tu prieras la Vierge
And you'll pray to the Virgin
Si t'as rien d'autre à faire
If you have nothing else to do
Pleure pas nelly
Don't cry Nelly
Pleure pas nelly
Don't cry Nelly
Demain on va me pendre
Tomorrow they're going to hang me
Pleure pas Nelly
Don't cry Nelly
Pleure pas Nelly
Don't cry Nelly
Demain tout s'ra fini
Tomorrow it'll all be over
