Lyrics and translation Fairport Convention - John The Gun - Live On 'The John Peel Radio Show', 1974
My
shadow
follows
me
Mon
ombre
me
suit
Wherever
I
should
chance
to
go
Partout
où
je
vais
John,
The
Gun
did
say
John,
The
Gun
a
dit
"If
you
should
chance
to
meet
me
"Si
tu
me
rencontres
As
I
wander
to
and
fro
Alors
que
je
vagabonde
Sad
would
be
your
day"
Ta
journée
sera
triste"
My
life
is
mine
and
the
light
did
shine
Ma
vie
est
à
moi
et
la
lumière
brillait
Till
the
guns
they
did
go
through
me
Jusqu'à
ce
que
les
armes
me
traversent
So
now
I
shall
never
fall
Alors
maintenant
je
ne
tomberai
jamais
Ideals
of
peace
are
gold
Les
idéaux
de
paix
sont
de
l'or
Which
fools
have
found
Que
les
fous
ont
trouvés
Upon
the
plains
of
war
Sur
les
plaines
de
la
guerre
I
shall
destroy
them
all
Je
les
détruirai
tous
Put
away
your
guns
of
steel
Range
tes
armes
d'acier
Death
comes
too
soon
for
all
La
mort
vient
trop
tôt
pour
tous
Your
Master
He
may
need
you
soon
Ton
Maître
pourrait
avoir
besoin
de
toi
bientôt
And
you
must
heed
His
call
Et
tu
dois
répondre
à
son
appel
I
am
the
master
of
the
games
Je
suis
le
maître
des
jeux
That
you
will
hardly
ever
play
Que
tu
ne
joueras
presque
jamais
So
I
will
teach
your
sons
Alors
j'enseignerai
à
tes
fils
And
if
they
should
die
Et
s'ils
devaient
mourir
Before
the
evening
of
their
span
of
days
Avant
le
soir
de
leur
durée
de
vie
Why,
then
they
will
die
young
Eh
bien,
alors
ils
mourront
jeunes
Put
away
your
guns
of
steel
Range
tes
armes
d'acier
Death
comes
too
soon
for
all
La
mort
vient
trop
tôt
pour
tous

Condemn
me
not
Ne
me
condamne
pas
For
always
will
I
play
the
game
of
war
Car
je
jouerai
toujours
le
jeu
de
la
guerre
In
moonshine
or
in
sun
Au
clair
de
lune
ou
au
soleil
And
if
any
cross
the
path
I
choose
to
tread
Et
si
quelqu'un
croise
le
chemin
que
je
choisis
de
parcourir
Their
chances
they
are
poor
Ses
chances
sont
maigres
My
