Lyrics and translation Johnny Cash - As Long As the Grass Shall Grow (Live)




As Long As the Grass Shall Grow (Live)
Tant que l'herbe pousse (en direct)
As long (aslong) as the moon (as the moon) shall rise (as the moon shall rise)
Tant que (tant que) la lune (comme la lune) se lève (comme la lune se lève)
As long (a slong) as the rivers (as the rivers) flow (as the rivers flow)
Tant que (tant que) les rivières (comme les rivières) coulent (comme les rivières coulent)
As long as the sun will shi-i-i-i-ine
Tant que le soleil brillera
As long as the grass shall grow
Tant que l'herbe poussera
The Senecas are an Indian tribe of the Iroquios nation
Les Senecas sont une tribu indienne de la nation iroquoise
Down on the New York Pennsylvania Line you'll find their reservation
Dans le bas de la ligne de New York et de Pennsylvanie, vous trouverez leur réserve
After the US revolution cornplanter was a chief
Après la révolution américaine, Cornplanter était un chef
He told the tribe these men they could trust that was his true belief
Il a dit à la tribu que ces hommes étaient dignes de confiance, c'était sa vraie croyance
He went down to Independence Hall and there was a treaty signed
Il est allé au Hall de l'Indépendance et il y a eu un traité signé
That promised peace with the USA and Indian rights combined
Qui promettait la paix avec les États-Unis et les droits des Indiens combinés
George Washington gave his signature the Government gave its hand
George Washington a donné sa signature, le gouvernement a donné sa main
They said that now and forever more that this was Indian land
Ils ont dit qu'à partir de maintenant et pour toujours, c'était une terre indienne
As long (as long) as the moon (as the moon) shall rise (as the moon shall rise)
Tant que (tant que) la lune (comme la lune) se lève (comme la lune se lève)
As long (as long) as the rivers (as the rivers) flow (as the rivers flow)
Tant que (tant que) les rivières (comme les rivières) coulent (comme les rivières coulent)
As long as the sun will shi-i-i-i-ine
Tant que le soleil brillera
As long as the grass shall grow
Tant que l'herbe poussera
On the Seneca reservation there is much sadness now
Sur la réserve Seneca, il y a beaucoup de tristesse maintenant
Washington's treaty has been broken and there is no hope no how
Le traité de Washington a été rompu et il n'y a plus d'espoir, quoi qu'il arrive
Across the Allegheny River they're throwing up a dam
De l'autre côté de la rivière Allegheny, ils construisent un barrage
It will flood the Indian country a proud day for Uncle Sam
Il va inonder le pays indien, un jour de fierté pour Oncle Sam
It has broke the ancient treaty with a politician's grin
Il a brisé l'ancien traité avec un sourire politique
It will drown the Indians graveyards cornplanter can you swim
Il va noyer les cimetières indiens, Cornplanter, sais-tu nager ?
The earth is mother to the the Senecas they're trampling sacred ground
La terre est mère pour les Senecas, ils piétinent la terre sacrée
Change the mint green earth to black mud flats as honor hobbles down
Changez la terre vert menthe en vasières noires tandis que l'honneur chancelle
As long (as long) as the moon (as the moon) shall rise (as the moon shall rise)
Tant que (tant que) la lune (comme la lune) se lève (comme la lune se lève)
As long (as long) as the rivers (as the rivers) flow (as the rivers flow)
Tant que (tant que) les rivières (comme les rivières) coulent (comme les rivières coulent)
As long as the sun will shi-i-i-i-ine
Tant que le soleil brillera
As long as the grass shall gro-o-o-o-ow
Tant que l'herbe poussera
