Lyrics and translation John Martyn - Spencer the Rover (Live)




Spencer the Rover (Live)
Spencer le Vagabond (En live)
This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover
Cet air a été composé par Spencer le vagabond
As valiant a man as ever left home
Un homme aussi courageux qu'on puisse trouver
And he had been much reduced
Mais il fut réduit à rien
Which caused great confusion
Ce qui provoqua grande confusion
And that was the reason he started to roam
Et c'est pour cela qu'il décida de vagabonder
In Yorkshire near Rotherham, he had been on the ramble
Dans le Yorkshire près de Rotherham, il avait marché et marché
Weary of traveling, he sat down to rest
Fatigué de voyager, il s'assit pour se reposer
By the foot of yon′ mountain
Au pied de cette montagne
Lays a clear flowing fountain
Se trouve une fontaine à l'eau claire et vive
With bread and cold water he himself did refresh
Avec du pain et de l'eau froide, il se rafraîchit
With the night fast approaching, to the woods he resorted
La nuit tombant, il se réfugia dans les bois
With woodbine and ivy his bed for to make
Fit son lit de lierre et de chèvrefeuille
But he dreamt about sighing
Mais il rêva de soupirs
Lamenting and crying
De lamentations et de larmes
Go home to your family and rambling forsake
Rentre chez toi auprès de ta famille et cesse de vagabonder
'Twas the fifth day of November, I′ve reason to remember
C'était le cinq novembre, je m'en souviens bien
When first he arrived home to his family and friends
Quand il rentra chez lui auprès de sa famille et de ses amis
And they did stand so astounded
Et ils restèrent bouche bée
Surprised and dumbfounded
Surpris et ébahis
To see such a stranger once more in their sight
De revoir cet étranger parmi eux
And his children come around him with their prittle prattling stories
Et ses enfants l'entourent en gazouillant et babillant
With their prittle prattling stories to drive care away
Et leurs bavardages le rendent heureux
And he's as happy as those
Et il est aussi heureux que ceux
As have thousands of riches
Qui possèdent d'immenses richesses
Contented he'll remain and not ramble away
Il restera ici, satisfait, et ne vagabonera plus
This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover
Cet air a été composé par Spencer le vagabond
As valiant a man as ever left home
Un homme aussi courageux qu'on puisse trouver
And he had been much reduced
Mais il fut réduit à rien
And caused great confusion
Et provoqua grande confusion
And that was the reason he started to roam
Et c'est pour cela qu'il décida de vagabonder
