Hank Williams, Jr. - I Was With Red Foley (The Night He Passed Away) - translation of the lyrics into French




I Was With Red Foley (The Night He Passed Away)
J'étais avec Red Foley (La nuit où il est décédé)
(There'll be peace in the valley for him how we pray
(Il y aura la paix dans la vallée pour lui comme nous prions
I was with Red Foley the night he passed away)
J'étais avec Red Foley la nuit il est mort)
We was down in Port Wayne Indiana the night the Lord took Red away
On était à Port Wayne, Indiana, la nuit le Seigneur a emporté Red
And we had to get there a little early cause we had a matinee
Et on devait y arriver un peu tôt parce qu'on avait une matinée
And when Red first went on stage it seemed that he moved and talked a little slow
Et quand Red est monté sur scène pour la première fois, il semblait qu'il bougeait et parlait un peu lentement
But of course he went on to do his regular great show
Mais bien sûr, il a continué à faire son grand show habituel
So soon the afternoon show was over with and we all went down the street and ate
Donc, le spectacle de l'après-midi était bientôt terminé, et on est tous allés dans la rue manger
Red said he wasn't very hungry but he came along anyway
Red a dit qu'il n'avait pas beaucoup faim, mais il est venu quand même
And we got done eaten and came back to the last show
Et on a fini de manger et on est retourné au dernier spectacle
But the thing just would be Red's very last well who's to know
Mais la chose était juste que ce serait le tout dernier de Red, eh bien qui peut le savoir
And when he went on the stage for his own ten thousandth time
Et quand il est monté sur scène pour sa dixième millième fois
We was all back to the curtains there just shootin' the lines
On était tous derrière le rideau, on se racontait des blagues
But when he sang Peace In The Valley there was such a quiet still
Mais quand il a chanté Peace In The Valley, il y avait un silence si profond
I know I'll never forget it and anyone that was there never will
Je sais que je ne l'oublierai jamais, et tous ceux qui étaient ne l'oublieront jamais non plus
Well soon the last show was over with
Eh bien, bientôt le dernier spectacle était terminé
And I went back to the hotel and Red gave me a call
Et je suis retourné à l'hôtel et Red m'a appelé
I told him to come on over I was just starin' at the four walls
Je lui ai dit de venir, j'étais juste en train de regarder les quatre murs
So he came over to my room he was just next door there
Alors il est venu dans ma chambre, il était juste à côté
Lit a cigarette and sat down in the chair
Il a allumé une cigarette et s'est assis dans le fauteuil
And he started talkin' bout all the worries that a country music singer has
Et il a commencé à parler de toutes les inquiétudes que peut avoir un chanteur de musique country
I said old Red I reckon it's not that bad
J'ai dit, vieux Red, je pense que ce n'est pas si grave
He said yeah you're workin' a lot now and you'll have 'em some day
Il a dit, ouais, tu travailles beaucoup maintenant et tu les auras un jour
Your dad had 'em and I have 'em I guess it's just meant that way
Ton père les avait et moi je les ai, je suppose que c'est comme ça que c'est fait
Then he got up and these were the last words he said
Puis il s'est levé, et ce sont les derniers mots qu'il a dits
I'm awful tired now Hank and I've got to go to bed
Je suis terriblement fatigué maintenant, Hank, et je dois aller me coucher
And while I layed there with Red just a few steps away
Et pendant que je restais avec Red à quelques pas de
The angels came and took him into the last golden stage
Les anges sont venus le prendre et l'ont emmené sur la dernière scène dorée
(There'll be peace in the valley for him how we pray
(Il y aura la paix dans la vallée pour lui comme nous prions
I was with Red Foley the night he passed away)
J'étais avec Red Foley la nuit il est mort)
