Lyrics and translation Jethro Tull - Mother Goose (2011 stereo mix)
As
I
did
walk
by
Hampstead
Fair
Alors
que
je
marchais
dans
la
foire
d'Hampstead
I
came
upon
Mother
Goose
J'ai
rencontré
Mère
l'Oye
So
I
turned
her
loose--
Alors
je
l'ai
laissée
libre--
She
was
screaming.
Elle
criait.
And
a
foreign
student
said
to
me
Et
un
étudiant
étranger
m'a
dit
Was
it
really
true
Est-ce
que
c'était
vraiment
vrai
There
are
elephants,
lions
too
Qu'il
y
a
des
éléphants,
des
lions
aussi
Piccadilly
Circus?
À
Piccadilly
Circus?
Walked
down
by
the
bathing
pond
J'ai
marché
près
de
l'étang
pour
la
baignade
To
try
and
catch
some
sun.
Pour
essayer
d'attraper
un
peu
de
soleil.
Saw
at
least
a
hundred
school
girls
J'ai
vu
au
moins
cent
écolières
Sobbing
into
handkerchiefs
as
one.
Pleurant
dans
leurs
mouchoirs
en
chœur.
I
don't
believe
they
knew
Je
ne
crois
pas
qu'elles
aient
su
I
was
a
schoolboy.
Que
j'étais
un
écolier.
And
a
bearded
lady
said
to
me
Et
une
femme
barbu
m'a
dit
If
you
start
your
raving
Si
tu
commences
à
dérailler
And
your
misbehaving
Et
à
mal
te
conduire
You'll
be
sorry.
Tu
le
regretteras.
And
the
chicken
fancier
came
to
play
Et
l'éleveur
de
poulets
est
venu
jouer
With
his
long
red
beard
Avec
sa
longue
barbe
rouge
And
his
sister's
weird--
Et
la
sœur
bizarre
de
sa
sœur--
She
drives
a
lorry.
Elle
conduit
un
camion.
Laughed
down
by
the
putting
green
J'ai
ri
près
du
green
de
putting
I
popped
'em
in
their
holes.
J'ai
mis
la
balle
dans
les
trous.
Four
and
twenty
labourers
were
labouring
Vingt-quatre
ouvriers
travaillaient
And
digging
up
their
gold.
Et
déterraient
leur
or.
I
don't
believe
they
knew
Je
ne
crois
pas
qu'ils
aient
su
That
I
was
Long
John
Silver.
Que
j'étais
Long
John
Silver.
Saw
Johnny
Scarecrow
make
his
rounds
J'ai
vu
Johnny
l'Épouvantail
faire
ses
rondes
In
his
jet
black
mac
Dans
son
imperméable
noir
de
jais
Which
he
won't
give
back--
Qu'il
ne
rendra
pas--
Stole
it
from
a
snowman.
Il
l'a
volé
à
un
bonhomme
de
neige.
