Lyrics and translation Jeff Buckley - Dink's Song (Radio Broadcast)

Dink's Song (Radio Broadcast)

If i had wings like noah's dove
I'd fly up the river to the one i love
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
If i met your man, who was long and tall
I'd hit his body like a cannon ball
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
One of these days and it won't be long
Call my name and I'll be gone
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
I remember one night, a drizzling rain
Round my heart i felt an achin' pain
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
When i wore my apron low
Couldn't keep you from my do'
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
Now i wear my apron high
Scarcely ever see you passing by
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
Now my apron's up to my chin
You pass my door and you won't come in
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
If i had listened to what my mama said
I'd be at home in my mama's bed
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well

La chanson de Dink (Diffusion radio)

Si j'avais des ailes comme la colombe de Noé
Je volerais en remontant la rivière vers celle que j'aime
Adieu, mon amour, adieu
Si je rencontrais ton homme, qui est grand et corpulent
Je le frapperais comme un boulet de canon
Adieu, mon amour, adieu
Un de ces jours, et ça ne saurait tarder
Appelle mon nom et je serai parti
Adieu, mon amour, adieu
Je me souviens d'une nuit, une pluie fine
Autour de mon cœur, j'ai senti une douleur lancinante
Adieu, mon amour, adieu
Quand je portais mon tablier bas
Je ne pouvais pas te garder loin de moi
Adieu, mon amour, adieu
Maintenant, je porte mon tablier haut
Je te vois rarement passer
Adieu, mon amour, adieu
Maintenant, mon tablier est jusqu'à mon menton
Tu passes devant ma porte et tu n'entres pas
Adieu, mon amour, adieu
Si j'avais écouté ce que ma mère disait
Je serais à la maison, dans le lit de ma mère
Adieu, mon amour, adieu
