John

He

Now
I′m

Of

we

First
in

cette
année-là
We
started
off
with

I

beer
J'étais
en
charge
de
la
bière
du

Tan

Sharp
on
the

of
nine
we
went
Précisément
à

nous
sommes
partis
An
hour
in
a
lavender
field
we
spent
Une
heure
dans

That

Then
the
horn
began
to
blow
Puis
le
cor
a
commencé
à
sonner
And
away
we
start
to
go
Et
nous
avons
commencé
à

With
a
"Hi

up!"
and
a
"Hi
gee

At

He
hired
a

till
he
rang
his
bell
Le

voulait
pas
partir
avant
qu'il
ne
sonne
sa
cloche
Tan

Old
Farmer
Grey,
who
is
eighty
eight
Le
vieux
fermier
Grey,
qui
a
quatre-vingt-huit
ans
He
took
a
leap
at
a
five
bar
gate
Il
a
fait
un
saut
sur
une
barrière
de
cinq
barreaux
He
landed
on
a
spot
where
I
can′t
state
Il
a
atterri
sur
un
endroit
où
je
ne
peux
pas
dire
Tan
tan
tivvy

Tan
tan
tivvy
tally-ho !
A
lady
remarked
as
she
joined
the
group
Une
dame
a
remarqué
en
rejoignant
le
groupe
"The
tail
of
the
fox
I
hope
to
scoop
« La
queue
du
renard,
j'espère
la
ramasser
′Cause
I'm
very
fond
of
foxtail
soup!"
Parce
que
j'aime
beaucoup
la
soupe
à
la
queue
de
renard ! »
Tan
tan
tivvy
tally-′o!
Tan
tan
tivvy
tally-ho !
Up
and
down
Haut
et
bas
We
were
bobbin'
up
and
down
Nous
rebondissions
de
haut
en
bas
I
was
next
to
Mrs
Brown
J'étais
à
côté
de
Mme
Brown
Who
was
shoutin',
"What
ho!
She
bumps,
he
ho!"
Qui
criait
: « What
ho !
Elle
se
cogne,
il
fait
ho ! »
The
hounds
are
away
through
a
hedge
of
thorn
Les
chiens
sont
partis
à
travers
une
haie
d'épines
But
where
is
the
blast
of
the
huntsman′s
horn?
Mais
où
est
le
son
du
cor
du
chasseur ?
He
was
too
busy
blastin′
the
coat
he'd
torn
Il
était
trop
occupé
à
faire
exploser
le
manteau
qu'il
avait
déchiré
Tan
tan
tivvy
tally-′o!
Tan
tan
tivvy
tally-ho !
Yoicks!
Dieu!
Dieu!
Yoicks !

A
local
policeman,
I
confess
Un
policier
local,
je
dois
avouer
Joined
in
the
hunt,
and
as
you
can
guess
S'est
joint
à
la
chasse,
et
comme
tu
peux
le
deviner
He
wanted
the
fox's
name
and
address
Il
voulait
le
nom
et
l'adresse
du
renard
Tan
tan
tivvy
tally-′o!
Tan
tan
tivvy
tally-ho !
Johnson's
gee-gee
went
on
strike
Le
gee-gee
de
Johnson
a
fait
grève
He
left
him
there
and
began
to
hike
Il
l'a
laissé
là
et
a
commencé
à
marcher
He
finished
the
hunt
on
an
old
pushbike
Il
a
terminé
la
chasse
sur
un
vieux
vélo
Tan
tan
tivvy
tally-′o!
Tan
tan
tivvy
tally-ho !
"To
the
kill!"
« À
la
mort ! »
Someone
shouted,
"To
the
kill!"
Quelqu'un
a
crié
: « À
la
mort ! »
And
as
we
got
up
the
hill
Et
comme
nous
sommes
arrivés
en
haut
de
la
colline
All
the
hounds
had
got
was
an
old
scarecrow!
Tous
les
chiens
n'avaient
attrapé
qu'un
vieux
épouvantail !
The
dogs
were
keen
and
deservin'
praise
Les
chiens
étaient
passionnés
et
méritaient
des
éloges
They
followed
the
fox
down
various
ways
Ils
ont
suivi
le
renard
par
différents
chemins
For
eleven
more
months
and
ten
more
days
Pendant
onze
mois
de
plus
et
dix
jours
de
plus
Tan
tan
tivvy
tally-'o!
Tan
tan
tivvy
tally-ho !
Now
those
who
are
fond
of
a
huntsman′s
call
Maintenant,
ceux
qui
aiment
l'appel
d'un
chasseur
Must
come
to
the
hunt
down
Teddicombe
Hall
Doivent
venir
à
la
chasse
à
Teddicombe
Hall
Bring
your
own
"yoicks!"
and
your
"tally
tally-′o!"
Apportez
vos
propres
« yoicks ! »
et
vos
« tally
tally-ho ! »
And
a-hunting
we
will
go!
