The Caretaker - Johnny Cashtranslation in French




The Caretaker
Le Gardien
I live in the cemetery
Je vis dans le cimetière
Ol' caretaker they call me
Le vieux gardien, ils m'appellent comme ça
In the wintertime I rake the leaves
En hiver, je ratisse les feuilles
And in the summer I cut the weeds
Et en été, je coupe les herbes
When a funeral comes the people cry and pray
Quand un enterrement arrive, les gens pleurent et prient
They bury their dead,then they all go away
Ils enterrent leurs morts, puis ils s'en vont tous
And here I work and I somehow hide from a world that rushes by outside
Et moi, je travaille ici, et je me cache d'une certaine façon d'un monde qui file à toute vitesse dehors
And each night when I rest my head I'm contented as the peaceful death
Et chaque soir, quand je pose ma tête, je suis aussi satisfait que la mort paisible
But who's gonna cry when old John dies
Mais qui pleurera quand le vieux John mourra
Who's gonna cry when old John dies
Qui pleurera quand le vieux John mourra
Once I was a young man dashing with the girls
J'étais autrefois un jeune homme qui courait après les filles
Now, no one wants an old man,I lost my handsome curls
Maintenant, personne ne veut d'un vieil homme, j'ai perdu mes belles boucles
But I wanna say when my time comes
Mais je veux dire, quand mon heure viendra
Lay me facing the rising sun
Couche-moi face au soleil levant
Put me in the corner where where I buried my pup
Mets-moi dans le coin j'ai enterré mon chiot
Tell the preacher to pray then cover me up
Dis au prédicateur de prier puis de me couvrir
Don't lay flowers where my head should be
Ne dépose pas de fleurs sur ma tombe
Maybe God let some grow for me
Peut-être que Dieu en fera pousser quelques-unes pour moi
And all the little children that I love like my own
Et tous les petits enfants que j'aime comme les miens
Will they be sorry that old John's gone
Seront-ils tristes que le vieux John soit parti
Who's gonna cry when old John dies
Qui pleurera quand le vieux John mourra
Who's gonna cry when old John dies
Qui pleurera quand le vieux John mourra
