Lyrics and translation Hank Locklin - Bonaparte's Retreat
Met
the
girl
I
loved
in
a
town
way
down
in
Dixie
J'ai
rencontré
la
fille
que
j'aimais
dans
une
ville
du
sud
de
la
Dixie
'Neath
the
stars
above
she
was
the
sweetest
girl
I
ever
did
see
Sous
les
étoiles,
elle
était
la
fille
la
plus
douce
que
j'aie
jamais
vue
So
I
took
her
in
my
arms
and
told
her
of
her
many
charms
Alors
je
l'ai
prise
dans
mes
bras
et
je
lui
ai
parlé
de
ses
nombreux
charmes
And
kissed
her
while
the
organ
played
the
Bonaparte's
Retreat
Et
je
l'ai
embrassée
tandis
que
l'orgue
jouait
la
retraite
de
Bonaparte
All
the
world
was
bright
as
I
held
her
on
that
night
Le
monde
entier
était
lumineux
alors
que
je
la
tenais
dans
mes
bras
cette
nuit-là
And
I
heard
her
say,
"Please
don't
ever
go
away"
Et
je
l'ai
entendue
dire
: "S'il
te
plaît,
ne
pars
jamais"
So
I
held
her
in
my
arms
and
told
her
of
her
many
charms
Alors
je
l'ai
prise
dans
mes
bras
et
je
lui
ai
parlé
de
ses
nombreux
charmes
And
kissed
her
while
the
organ
played
the
Bonaparte's
Retreat
Et
je
l'ai
embrassée
tandis
que
l'orgue
jouait
la
retraite
de
Bonaparte
So
I
held
her
in

and
