Johnny Cash - Drums - translation of the lyrics into French

Lyrics and translation Johnny Cash - Drums




Drums
Tambours
From the Indian reservation
De la réserve indienne
To the governmental middle school
Au collège public
Well they're goin' to educate me
Eh bien, ils vont m'éduquer
To the white men's Golden Rule
À la Règle d'or des hommes blancs
And I'm learning very quickly
Et j'apprends très vite
For I've learned to be ashamed
Car j'ai appris à avoir honte
And I come when they call Billy
Et je viens quand ils appellent Billy
Though I've got an Indian name
Même si j'ai un nom indien
And there are drums beyond the mountain
Et il y a des tambours au-delà de la montagne
Indian drums that you can't hear
Des tambours indiens que tu ne peux pas entendre
There are drums beyond the mountain
Il y a des tambours au-delà de la montagne
And they're getting mighty near
Et ils se rapprochent de plus en plus
And when they think that they'd changed me
Et quand ils penseront qu'ils m'ont changé
Cut my hair to meet their needs
Couper mes cheveux pour répondre à leurs besoins
Will they think I'm white or Indian
Penseront-ils que je suis blanc ou indien
Quarter blood or just half breed
Un quart de sang ou juste un métis
Let me tell you Mr. teacher
Laisse-moi te dire, Monsieur le professeur
When you say you'll make me right
Quand tu dis que tu vas me remettre sur le droit chemin
In five hundred years of fighting
En cinq cents ans de combats
Not one Indian turned white
Pas un seul Indien n'est devenu blanc
And there are drums beyond the mountain
Et il y a des tambours au-delà de la montagne
Indian drums that you can't hear
Des tambours indiens que tu ne peux pas entendre
There are drums beyond the mountain
Il y a des tambours au-delà de la montagne
And they're getting mighty near
Et ils se rapprochent de plus en plus
Well you thought that I knew nothing
Eh bien, tu pensais que je ne savais rien
When you brought me here to school
Quand tu m'as amené ici à l'école
Just another empty Indian just America's first fool
Juste un autre Indien vide, juste le premier imbécile de l'Amérique
But now I can tell you stories
Mais maintenant je peux te raconter des histoires
That are burnt and dried and old
Qui sont brûlées, séchées et vieilles
But in the shadow of their telling
Mais dans l'ombre de leur récit
Walks the thunder proud and bold
Marche le tonnerre fier et audacieux
And there are drums beyond the mountain
Et il y a des tambours au-delà de la montagne
Indian drums that you can't hear
Des tambours indiens que tu ne peux pas entendre
There are drums beyond the mountain
Il y a des tambours au-delà de la montagne
And they're getting mighty near
Et ils se rapprochent de plus en plus
Long Pine and Sequoia
Long Pine et Séquoia
Handsome Lake and Sitting Bull
Handsome Lake et Sitting Bull
There's Magnus Colorado
Il y a Magnus Colorado
With his sleeves so red and full
Avec ses manches si rouges et pleines
Crazy Horse the legend
Cheval Fou la légende
Those who bit off Custer's soul
Ceux qui ont arraché l'âme de Custer
They are dead yet they are living
Ils sont morts mais ils sont vivants
With the great Geronimo
Avec le grand Geronimo
And there are drums beyond the mountain
Et il y a des tambours au-delà de la montagne
Indian drums that you can't hear
Des tambours indiens que tu ne peux pas entendre
There are drums beyond the mountain
Il y a des tambours au-delà de la montagne
And they're getting mighty near
Et ils se rapprochent de plus en plus
Well you may teach me this land's hist'ry
Eh bien, tu peux me montrer l'histoire de cette terre
But we taught it to you first
Mais c'est nous qui te l'avons enseignée en premier
We broke your hearts and bent your journeys
Nous avons brisé vos cœurs et plié vos voyages
Broken treaties left us cursed
Les traités brisés nous ont laissés maudits
Even now you have to cheat us
Même maintenant, tu dois nous tromper
Even though you this us tame
Même si tu nous rends dociles
In our losing we found proudness
Dans notre défaite, nous avons trouvé la fierté
In your winning you found shame
Dans votre victoire, vous avez trouvé la honte
And there are drums beyond the mountain
Et il y a des tambours au-delà de la montagne
Indian drums that you can't hear
Des tambours indiens que tu ne peux pas entendre
There are drums beyond the mountain
Il y a des tambours au-delà de la montagne
And they're getting mighty near
Et ils se rapprochent de plus en plus
