Lyrics and translation John Hartford - Emanuel Cant

Emanuel Cant

Oh shake your head and smile, Immanuel Can't
And the sonnet was a piece upon the floor
It was in the falling rain
That you said you'd come again

Just shake your head and smile, Immanuel Can't
If you can't, say you cancel, Immanuel can't
Just shake your head and smile, Immanuel Can't

There's some truth inside that Immanuel Can't
And its there for you to crawl around and see
It will hang around your find
Like a millstone on your mind

Oh shake your head and smile, Immanuel Can't
If you can't, say you cancel, Immanuel can
Just shake your head and smile, Immanuel Can't

Emanuel Cant

Oh secoue ta tête et souris, Immanuel Can't
Et le sonnet était un morceau sur le sol
C'était sous la pluie battante
Que tu as dit que tu reviendrais

Secoue juste ta tête et souris, Immanuel Can't
Si tu ne peux pas, dis que tu annules, Immanuel can't
Secoue juste ta tête et souris, Immanuel Can't

Il y a un peu de vérité dans ce Immanuel Can't
Et c'est là pour que tu rampes et que tu le voies
Cela restera accroché à ta trouvaille
Comme une meule sur ton esprit

Oh secoue ta tête et souris, Immanuel Can't
Si tu ne peux pas, dis que tu annules, Immanuel can
Secoue juste ta tête et souris, Immanuel Can't
