Lyrics and translation Eric Bibb - Drinkin’ Gourd (Remastered)
When
the
sun
goes
back
Quand
le
soleil
se
couche
And
the
first
quail
calls
Et
que
la
première
caille
chante
Follow
the
drinking
gourd
Suis
la
calebasse
à
boire
The
old
man
is
a-waitin′
for
Le
vieil
homme
t'attend
To
carry
you
to
freedom
Pour
t'emmener
vers
la
liberté
Follow
the
drinking
gourd
Suis
la
calebasse
à
boire
The
river
bed
makes
a
mighty
fine
road,
Le
lit
du
fleuve
fait
un
très
bon
chemin,
Dead
trees
to
show
you
the
way
Des
arbres
morts
pour
te
montrer
le
chemin
And
it's
left
foot,
peg
foot,
traveling
on
Et
c'est
le
pied
gauche,
le
pied
de
bois,
qui
voyage
Follow
the
drinking
gourd
Suis
la
calebasse
à
boire
Follow
the
drinking
gourd,
Suis
la
calebasse
à
boire,
Follow
the
drinking
gourd
Suis
la
calebasse
à
boire
For
the
old
man
is
a-waitin′
Car
le
vieil
homme
t'attend
To
carry
you
to
freedom
Pour
t'emmener
vers
la
liberté
Follow
the
drinking
gourd
Suis
la
calebasse
à
boire
The
river
ends
between
two
hills
Le
fleuve
se
termine
entre
deux
collines
Follow
the
drinking
gourd
Suis
la
calebasse
à
boire
There's
another
river
on
the
other
side
Il
y
a
une
autre
rivière
de
l'autre
côté
Follow
the
drinking
gourd
Suis
la
calebasse
à
boire
I
thought
I
heard
the
angels
say
J'ai
cru
entendre
les
anges
dire
Follow
the
drinking
gourd
Suis
la
calebasse
à
boire
The
stars
in
the
heavens
Les
étoiles
dans
le
ciel
Gonna
show
you
the
way
Vont
te
montrer
le
chemin
Follow
the
drinking
gourd

calebasse
à
boire

la
calebasse
à
boire,
Follow
