Hank Williams - When the Fire Comes Down

Lyrics and translation Hank Williams - When the Fire Comes Down




When the Fire Comes Down
Quand le feu descendra
Way back in the days of Noah
Bien avant l’époque de Noé
Water covered all this land
L’eau recouvrait toute cette terre
Then the great rainbow of promise
Puis le grand arc-en-ciel de la promesse
Started up on life again
A recommencé la vie
And the Good Book tells of fires
Et la Bible parle de feux
That will fill the earth some day
Qui rempliront la terre un jour
Then the sinful will be screamin'
Alors les pécheurs hurleront
As this earth shall pass away
Comme cette terre passera
When the fire
Quand le feu
(When the fire)
(Quand le feu)
Comes down from Heaven
Descendra du ciel
(Comes down from Heaven)
(Descendra du ciel)
This old world
Ce vieux monde
(This old world)
(Ce vieux monde)
Will melt away
Fondra
(Will melt away)
(Fondra)
Millions then
Des millions alors
(Millions then)
(Des millions alors)
Will cry for mercy
Plieront le genou
(Will cry for mercy)
(Plieront le genou)
But it will be
Mais ce sera
(But it will be)
(Mais ce sera)
Too late to pray
Trop tard pour prier
Oh, this world is at a tremble
Oh, ce monde tremble
And it's rockin' to and fro
Et il se balance d’avant en arrière
You can read it in the papers
Tu peux le lire dans les journaux
Hear it on the radio
L’entendre à la radio
In the movies, they are showin'
Au cinéma, ils montrent
Towns and cities, how they blaze
Des villes et des villages en flammes
But there's hotter fire a comin'
Mais il y a un feu plus chaud qui arrive
If we follow sin's highway
Si on suit la route du péché
When the fire
Quand le feu
(When the fire)
(Quand le feu)
Comes down from Heaven
Descendra du ciel
(Comes down from Heaven)
(Descendra du ciel)
This old world
Ce vieux monde
(This old world)
(Ce vieux monde)
Will melt away
Fondra
(Will melt away)
(Fondra)
Millions then
Des millions alors
(Millions then)
(Des millions alors)
Will cry for mercy
Plieront le genou
(Will cry for mercy)
(Plieront le genou)
But it will be
Mais ce sera
(But it will be)
(Mais ce sera)
Too late to pray
Trop tard pour prier
Texas City, Texas City
Texas City, Texas City
Oh, how awful was her fate
Oh, quel destin horrible pour elle
First she burned and then exploded
D’abord elle brûla, puis explosa
Now the story, we'll relate
Maintenant, nous allons raconter l’histoire
Of the Winecoff in Atlanta
De la Winecoff à Atlanta
How she burned right to the ground
Comment elle brûla jusqu’au sol
Of the great fire in Chicago
Du grand incendie de Chicago
And the dead lay all around
Et les morts gisent tout autour
When the fire
Quand le feu
(When the fire)
(Quand le feu)
Comes down from Heaven
Descendra du ciel
(Comes down from Heaven)
(Descendra du ciel)
This old world
Ce vieux monde
(This old world)
(Ce vieux monde)
Will melt away
Fondra
(Will melt away)
(Fondra)
Millions then
Des millions alors
(Millions then)
(Des millions alors)
Will cry for mercy
Plieront le genou
(Will cry for mercy)
(Plieront le genou)
But it will be
Mais ce sera
(But it will be)
(Mais ce sera)
Too late to pray
Trop tard pour prier
