Lyrics and translation Jim Reeves - Jimbo Jenkins




Jimbo Jenkins
Jimbo Jenkins
(Jim Reeves - Bobby Garrett)
(Jim Reeves - Bobby Garrett)
There's a funny little man in my hometown
Il y a un drôle de petit homme dans ma ville natale
His age is ninety three
Il a quatre-vingt-treize ans
He's a cute little man with a funny little grin
C'est un petit homme mignon avec un drôle de petit sourire
You'll love him, yes siree.
Tu vas l'adorer, oui, vraiment.
He'll tell you tales of Buffalo Bill
Il te racontera des histoires de Buffalo Bill
And things that they have done
Et des choses qu'ils ont faites
This funny little man in my hometown
Ce drôle de petit homme dans ma ville natale
Is loved by everyone.
Est aimé de tous.
Jimbo Jenkins is his name
Jimbo Jenkins, c'est son nom
You'll find him in the Hall of Fame
Tu le trouveras dans le Temple de la renommée
The Hall of Fame's his favorite chair
Le Temple de la renommée est son fauteuil préféré
Sittin' on the Courthouse square.
Assis sur la place de la Cour.
Children gather all around
Les enfants se rassemblent tout autour
From miles and miles they come
De kilomètres et kilomètres, ils viennent
To listen to this fine little man
Écouter ce gentil petit homme
Who's loved by everyone.
Qui est aimé de tous.
He'll tell you tales of Custer
Il te racontera des histoires de Custer
And the battles they have won
Et des batailles qu'ils ont gagnées
And he can prove the story's true
Et il peut prouver que l'histoire est vraie
By the nothes on his gun.
Par les marques sur son arme.
Little cowboys injuns too
Les petits cowboys et les Indiens aussi
Think he's the grandest thing
Pense qu'il est la chose la plus grandiose
They way he tells his stories
La façon dont il raconte ses histoires
You can hear the bullets zing.
Tu peux entendre les balles siffler.
Jimbo Jenkins is his name
Jimbo Jenkins, c'est son nom
You'll find him in the Hall of Fame
Tu le trouveras dans le Temple de la renommée
The Hall of Fame's his favorite chair
Le Temple de la renommée est son fauteuil préféré
Sittin' on the Courthouse square.
Assis sur la place de la Cour.
Jesse James and Robin Hood
Jesse James et Robin des Bois
Ain't got a thing on him
N'ont rien à lui opposer
'Cause he did more in three weeks time
Parce qu'il a fait plus en trois semaines
Than either one of them.
Que l'un ou l'autre d'entre eux.
--- Instrumental ---
--- Instrumental ---
Someday I know there'll be a statue
Un jour, je sais qu'il y aura une statue
On the Courthouse square
Sur la place de la Cour
There will be old Jimbo Jenkins
Il y aura le vieux Jimbo Jenkins
In his favorite chair.
Dans son fauteuil préféré.
He'll go down in history
Il entrera dans l'histoire
That is plain to see
C'est clair à voir
For all his tales of yesterday
Pour tous ses récits d'hier
So famous he will be.
Il sera donc célèbre.
Jimbo Jenkins is his name
Jimbo Jenkins, c'est son nom
You'll find him in the Hall of Fame
Tu le trouveras dans le Temple de la renommée
The Hall of Fame's his favorite chair
Le Temple de la renommée est son fauteuil préféré
Sittin' on the Courthouse square.
Assis sur la place de la Cour.
Little cowboys injuns too
Les petits cowboys et les Indiens aussi
Little cowboys injuns too
Les petits cowboys et les Indiens aussi
Think he's the grandest thing
Pense qu'il est la chose la plus grandiose
They way he tells his stories
La façon dont il raconte ses histoires
You can hear the bullets zing.
Tu peux entendre les balles siffler.
Jimbo Jenkins is his name
Jimbo Jenkins, c'est son nom
You'll find him in the Hall of Fame
Tu le trouveras dans le Temple de la renommée
The Hall of Fame's his favorite chair
Le Temple de la renommée est son fauteuil préféré
Sittin' on the Courthouse square...
Assis sur la place de la Cour...
