Lyrics and translation Ewan MacColl - Are Ye Sleeping, Maggie?
Dark
and
rainy
is
the
night,
La
nuit
est
sombre
et
pluvieuse,
There′s
no
a
star
in
a'
the
carry;
Il
n'y
a
pas
une
étoile
dans
le
ciel;
Lightnings
gleam
athwart
the
lift,
Les
éclairs
luisent
dans
le
firmament,
And
the
cauld
winds
drive
wi′
winter's
fury.
Et
les
vents
froids
soufflent
avec
la
fureur
de
l'hiver.
O!
are
ye
sleepin',
Maggie?
Oh
! es-tu
endormie,
Maggie
?
O!
are
ye
sleepin′,
Maggie?
Oh
! es-tu
endormie,
Maggie
?
Let
me
in,
for
loud
the
linn
Laisse-moi
entrer,
car
le
ruisseau
Is
roarin′
o'er
the
warlock
craigie!
Rugit
sur
le
rocher
du
sorcier
!
Fearfu′
soughs
the
boortree
bank,
La
rive
des
sureaux
soupire
de
peur,
The
rifted
wood
roars
wild
and
drearie,
Le
bois
crevassé
rugit
sauvagement
et
tristement,
Loud
the
iron
yett
does
clank,
La
porte
de
fer
grince
bruyamment,
And
the
cry
o'
howlets
makes
me
eerie.
Et
le
cri
des
hiboux
me
rend
effrayant.
Aboon
my
breath
I
daurna
speak
Je
n'ose
pas
parler
plus
fort
For
fear
I
rouse
your
waukrife
daddie;
De
peur
de
réveiller
ton
père
éveillé;
Cauld′s
the
blast
upon
my
cheek,
-
Le
vent
froid
souffle
sur
ma
joue,
-
Arise,
arise,
my
bonnie
lady!
Lève-toi,
lève-toi,
ma
belle
dame
!
She
op'd
the
door,
she
let
him
in;
Elle
a
ouvert
la
porte,
elle
l'a
laissé
entrer
;
He
coost
aside
his
dreepin′
plaidie;
Il
a
jeté
de
côté
son
plaid
ruisselant
;
Blaw
your
warst,
ye
rain
and
win',
Souffle
de
ton
pire,
pluie
et
vent,
Since,
Maggie,
now
I'm
in
aside
ye.
Depuis
que,
Maggie,
je
suis
maintenant
à
tes
côtés.
Now
since
ye′re
waukin′,
Maggie,
Maintenant
que
tu
es
réveillée,
Maggie,
Now
since
ye're
waukin′,
Maggie,
Maintenant
que
tu
es
réveillée,
Maggie,
What
care
I
for
howlet's
cry,
Que
m'importe
le
cri
des
hiboux,
For
boortree
bank,
or
warlock
craigie?
La
rive
des
sureaux
ou
le
rocher
du
sorcier
?
