Lyrics and translation Jim Reeves - The Letter Edged in Black




The Letter Edged in Black
La lettre bordée de noir
I was standin′ by my window yesterday morning
Je me tenais près de ma fenêtre hier matin
Without a thought of sorrow or of care
Sans une pensée de chagrin ou de souci
When I saw the postman comin' up the pathway
Quand j'ai vu le facteur monter le chemin
With such a smiling face and jolly air.
Avec un visage si souriant et un air si gai.
He rang the bell and whistled as he waited
Il a sonné et sifflé en attendant
Then he said; "Good morning to you, Jack"
Puis il a dit : "Bonjour à vous, Jack"
But he little knew the sorrow that he brought me
Mais il ne savait pas la peine qu'il m'apportait
When he handed me a letter edged in black.
Quand il m'a remis une lettre bordée de noir.
With trembling hands I took the letter from him
Les mains tremblantes, j'ai pris la lettre de lui
I open it and sifted what it said:
Je l'ai ouverte et j'ai lu ce qu'elle disait :
"Come home my boy, your dear old daddy wants you
"Reviens à la maison, mon cher papa veut te voir
Come home my boy, your dear old mother′s dead."
Reviens à la maison, ta chère vieille mère est morte."

"The last words your mother ever uttered
"Les derniers mots que ta mère a prononcés
Tell my boy I want him to come back
Dis à mon fils que je veux qu'il revienne
My eyes are blurred, my poor old heart is breaking
Mes yeux sont flous, mon pauvre vieux cœur se brise,
As, I write to you this letter edged in black."
En t'écrivant cette lettre bordée de noir."
"Those angry words I wish I'd never spoken
"Ces mots durs que j'aurais aimé ne jamais prononcer
You know I didn't mean them, don′t you, Jack
Tu sais que je ne les pensais pas, n'est-ce pas, Jack
May the angels bear me witness, I am asking
Que les anges m'en soient témoins, je te demande
Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black."...
Ton pardon dans cette lettre bordée de noir."...
