Lyrics and translation Helen Reddy - Delta Dawn - Live

Delta Dawn - Live

Delta Dawn

What′s that flower you have on

Quelle est cette fleur que tu portes

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

Est-ce une rose fanée des jours passés

And did I hear you say

Et ai-je entendu dire

He was a-meetin' you here today

Qu'il te rencontrait ici aujourd'hui

To take you to his mansion in the sky

Pour t'emmener dans son manoir au ciel

She′s 41 and her daddy still calls her baby

Elle a 41 ans et son père l'appelle encore bébé

All the folks 'round Brownsville say she's crazy

Tous les gens de Brownsville disent qu'elle est folle

′Cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand

Parce qu'elle se promène en ville avec sa valise à la main

Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man

À la recherche d'un mystérieux homme aux cheveux noirs

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn

Dans sa jeunesse, on l'appelait Delta Dawn

Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on

La plus belle femme que tu aies jamais vue

Then a man of low degree stood by her side

Puis un homme de basse extraction s'est tenu à ses côtés

Promised her he′d take her for his bride

Lui a promis qu'il la prendrait pour sa femme

Delta Dawn

What's that flower you have on

Quelle est cette fleur que tu portes

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

Est-ce une rose fanée des jours passés

And did I hear you say

Et ai-je entendu dire

He was a-meetin′ you here today

Qu'il te rencontrait ici aujourd'hui

To take you to his mansion in the sky

Pour t'emmener dans son manoir au ciel

Delta Dawn

What's that flower you have on

Quelle est cette fleur que tu portes

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

Est-ce une rose fanée des jours passés

And did I hear you say

Et ai-je entendu dire

He was a-meetin′ you here today

Qu'il te rencontrait ici aujourd'hui

To take you to his mansion in the sky

Pour t'emmener dans son manoir au ciel

Delta Dawn

What's that flower you have on

Quelle est cette fleur que tu portes

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

Est-ce une rose fanée des jours passés

And did I hear you say

Et ai-je entendu dire

He was a-meetin′ you here today

Qu'il te rencontrait ici aujourd'hui

To take you to his mansion in the sky

Pour t'emmener dans son manoir au ciel

Delta Dawn

What's that flower you have on

Quelle est cette fleur que tu portes

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

Est-ce une rose fanée des jours passés

And did I hear you say

Et ai-je entendu dire

He was a-meetin' you here today

Qu'il te rencontrait ici aujourd'hui

To take you to his mansion in the sky

Pour t'emmener dans son manoir au ciel

Delta Dawn

What′s that flower you have on

Quelle est cette fleur que tu portes

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

Est-ce une rose fanée des jours passés
