Lyrics and translation Harry Belafonte - Times Are Gettin' Hard

Times Are Gettin' Hard

Les temps sont durs

Times are getting' hard boys

Les temps sont durs, mon amour

Money's getting' scarce

L'argent se fait rare

If times don't get no better boys

Si les choses ne s'améliorent pas, mon amour

Gonna leave this place

Je vais quitter cet endroit

Take my true love by the hand

Je prendrai ta main, mon amour

Lead her from the town

Je t'emmènerai loin de la ville

Say goodbye to ev'ryone

Je dirai au revoir à tout le monde

Goodbye to ev'ryone

Au revoir à tout le monde

Take my bible from the bed

Je prendrai ma bible sur le lit

Shotgun from the wall

Mon fusil sur le mur

Take old Sal and hitch her up

Je prendrai vieille Sal et je l'attelerai

The wagon for to haul

Le chariot pour le transport

Pile the chairs and beds on high

Je vais empiler les chaises et les lits en hauteur

Let nothing touch the ground

Que rien ne touche le sol

Sal can pull and we can push

Sal peut tirer et nous pouvons pousser

We're bound to leave this town

Nous sommes obligés de quitter cette ville

Made a crop a year ago

J'ai fait une récolte il y a un an

It withered to the ground

Elle a séché jusqu'au sol

Tried to get some credit

J'ai essayé d'obtenir du crédit

But the man he turned me down

Mais l'homme m'a refusé

Goin' to California

Je vais en Californie

Where everything is green

Où tout est vert

Gonna have the best old farm

Je vais avoir la meilleure ferme

That you have ever seen.

Que tu aies jamais vue.
