Matty Groves - Take 1
Matty Groves - Take 1
A
holiday,
a
holiday
Un
jour
férié,
un
jour
férié
And
the
first
one
of
the
year
Et
le
premier
de
l'année
Lord
Donald′s
wife
came
into
the
church
La
femme
de
Lord
Donald
est
entrée
dans
l'église
The
Gospel
for
to
hear
Pour
entendre
l'Évangile
And
when
the
meeting
it
was
done
Et
quand
la
réunion
a
été
terminée
She
cast
her
eyes
about
Elle
a
jeté
un
coup
d'œil
autour
d'elle
And
there
she
saw
little
Matty
Groves
Et
là,
elle
a
vu
le
petit
Matty
Groves
Walking
in
the
crowd
Marchant
dans
la
foule
"Come
home
with
me,
little
Matty
Groves
"Reviens
à
la
maison
avec
moi,
petit
Matty
Groves
Come
home
with
me
tonight
Reviens
à
la
maison
avec
moi
ce
soir
Come
home
with
me,
little
Matty
Groves
Reviens
à
la
maison
avec
moi,
petit
Matty
Groves
And
sleep
with
me
'til
light"
Et
couche
avec
moi
jusqu'à
ce
que
le
jour
se
lève"
"Oh,
I
can′t
come
home,
I
won't
come
home
"Oh,
je
ne
peux
pas
revenir
à
la
maison,
je
ne
veux
pas
revenir
à
la
maison
And
sleep
with
you
tonight
Et
coucher
avec
toi
ce
soir
By
the
rings
on
your
fingers
Par
les
bagues
à
tes
doigts
I
can
tell
you
are
Lord
Donald's
wife"
Je
peux
dire
que
tu
es
la
femme
de
Lord
Donald"
"But
if
I
am
Lord
Donald′s
wife
"Mais
si
je
suis
la
femme
de
Lord
Donald
Lord
Donald′s
not
at
home
Lord
Donald
n'est
pas
à
la
maison
He
is
out
in
the
far
cornfields
Il
est
dans
les
champs
de
maïs
lointains
Bringing
the
yearlings
home"
Pour
ramener
les
jeunes
bovins"
And
a
servant
who
was
standing
by
Et
un
serviteur
qui
était
à
côté
And
hearing
what
was
said
Et
qui
entendait
ce
qui
était
dit
He
swore
Lord
Donald
he
would
know
A
juré
que
Lord
Donald
le
saurait
Before
the
sun
would
set
Avant
que
le
soleil
ne
se
couche
And
in
his
hurry
to
carry
the
news
Et
dans
sa
hâte
de
porter
la
nouvelle
He
bent
his
breast
and
ran
Il
a
courbé
sa
poitrine
et
a
couru
And
when
he
came
to
the
broad
mill
stream
Et
quand
il
est
arrivé
au
large
ruisseau
du
moulin
He
took
off
his
shoes
and
he
swam
Il
a
enlevé
ses
chaussures
et
a
nagé
Little
Matty
Groves,
he
lay
down
Le
petit
Matty
Groves
s'est
couché
And
took
a
little
sleep
Et
a
fait
une
petite
sieste
When
he
awoke,
Lord
Donald
Quand
il
s'est
réveillé,
Lord
Donald
Was
standing
at
his
feet
Se
tenait
à
ses
pieds
Saying,
"How
do
you
like
my
feather
bed
En
disant
: "Que
penses-tu
de
mon
lit
à
plumes
?
And
how
do
you
like
my
sheets
Et
que
penses-tu
de
mes
draps
?
How
do
you
like
my
lady
Que
penses-tu
de
ma
dame
?
Who
lies
in
your
arms
asleep?"
Qui
est
endormie
dans
tes
bras
?"
"Oh,
well,
I
like
your
feather
bed
"Oh,
eh
bien,
j'aime
ton
lit
à
plumes
And
well,
I
like
your
sheets
Et
j'aime
tes
draps
But
better
I
like
your
lady
gay
Mais
j'aime
mieux
ta
belle
dame
Who
lies
in
my
arms
asleep"
Qui
est
endormie
dans
mes
bras"
"Well,
get
up,
get
up",
Lord
Donald
cried
"Eh
bien,
lève-toi,
lève-toi",
a
crié
Lord
Donald
"Get
up
as
quick
as
you
can
Lève-toi
aussi
vite
que
tu
peux
It'll
never
be
said
in
fair
England
On
ne
dira
jamais
en
Angleterre
I
slew
a
naked
man"
Que
j'ai
tué
un
homme
nu"
"Oh,
I
can′t
get
up,
I
won't
get
up
"Oh,
je
ne
peux
pas
me
lever,
je
ne
veux
pas
me
lever
I
can′t
get
up
for
my
life
Je
ne
peux
pas
me
lever
pour
sauver
ma
vie
For
you
have
two
long
beaten
swords
Car
tu
as
deux
longues
épées
battantes
And
I
not
a
pocket
knife"
Et
moi,
pas
un
couteau
de
poche"
"Well,
it's
true
I
have
two
beaten
swords
"Eh
bien,
c'est
vrai
que
j'ai
deux
épées
battantes
And
they
cost
me
deep
in
the
purse
Et
elles
m'ont
coûté
cher
But
you
will
have
the
better
of
them
Mais
tu
auras
le
dessus
And
I
will
have
the
worse"
Et
j'aurai
le
pire"
"And
you
will
strike
the
very
first
blow
"Et
tu
frapperas
en
premier
And
strike
it
like
a
man
Et
frappe
comme
un
homme
I
will
strike
the
very
next
blow
Je
frapperai
le
coup
suivant
And
I′ll
kill
you
if
I
can"
Et
je
te
tuerai
si
je
peux"
So
Matty
struck
the
very
first
blow
Alors
Matty
a
frappé
le
premier
coup
And
he
hurt
Lord
Donald
sore
Et
il
a
blessé
Lord
Donald
Lord
Donald
struck
the
very
next
blow
Lord
Donald
a
frappé
le
coup
suivant
And
Matty
struck
no
more
Et
Matty
n'a
plus
frappé
And
then
Lord
Donald
he
took
his
wife
Et
puis
Lord
Donald
a
pris
sa
femme
And
he
sat
her
on
his
knee
Et
il
l'a
mise
sur
ses
genoux
Saying,
"Who
do
you
like
the
best
of
us
En
disant
: "Qui
préfères-tu
parmi
nous
?
Matty
Groves
or
me?"
Matty
Groves
ou
moi
?"
And
then
up
spoke
his
own
dear
wife
Et
alors
sa
propre
chère
femme
a
parlé
Never
heard
to
speak
so
free
Jamais
entendue
parler
avec
autant
de
liberté
"I'd
rather
a
kiss
from
dead
Matty's
lips
"Je
préférerais
un
baiser
des
lèvres
de
Matty
mort
Than
you
or
your
finery"
Que
toi
ou
tes
beaux
habits"
Lord
Donald,
he
jumped
up
Lord
Donald
a
sauté
And
loudly
he
did
bawl
Et
a
crié
fort
He
struck
his
wife
right
through
the
heart
Il
a
frappé
sa
femme
en
plein
cœur
And
pinned
her
against
the
wall
Et
l'a
clouée
contre
le
mur
"A
grave,
a
grave",
Lord
Donald
cried
"Une
tombe,
une
tombe",
a
crié
Lord
Donald
"To
put
these
lovers
in
Pour
y
mettre
ces
amoureux
But
bury
my
lady
at
the
top
Mais
enterre
ma
dame
en
haut
For
she
was
of
noble
kin"
Car
elle
était
de
noble
lignée"
