Lyrics and translation Johnny Horton - Johnny Reb




Johnny Reb
Johnny Reb
You fought all the way
Tu as combattu tout le chemin
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
Tu as combattu tout le chemin, Johnny Reb
Saw you a-marchin' with Robert E. Lee
Je t'ai vu marcher avec Robert E. Lee
You held your head high tryin' to win the victory
Tu tenais la tête haute en essayant de remporter la victoire
You fought for your folks, but you didn't die in vain
Tu as combattu pour ta famille, mais tu n'es pas mort en vain
Even tho' you lost they speak highly of your name, 'cause
Même si tu as perdu, on parle beaucoup de ton nom, parce que
You fought all the way
Tu as combattu tout le chemin
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
Tu as combattu tout le chemin, Johnny Reb
I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside
J'ai entendu tes dents claquer du froid dehors
Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side
J'ai vu les balles ouvrir les plaies sur ton côté
I saw the young boys as they began to fall
J'ai vu les jeunes garçons tomber
You had tears in your eyes 'cause you couldn't help at all, but
Tu avais des larmes aux yeux parce que tu ne pouvais rien faire, mais
You fought all the way
Tu as combattu tout le chemin
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
Tu as combattu tout le chemin, Johnny Reb
I saw Gen'ral Lee raise a sabre in his hand
J'ai vu le général Lee lever un sabre dans sa main
Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand
J'ai entendu les canons rugir alors que tu faisais ton dernier stand
You marched in the battle of the Grey and the Red
Tu as marché dans la bataille du Gris et du Rouge
When the cannon smoke cleared, took days to count the dead, 'cause
Quand la fumée des canons s'est dissipée, il a fallu des jours pour compter les morts, parce que
You fought all the way
Tu as combattu tout le chemin
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
Tu as combattu tout le chemin, Johnny Reb
When Honest Abe heard the news about your fall
Quand Honest Abe a entendu parler de ta chute
The folks thought he'd call a great vict'ry ball
Les gens pensaient qu'il allait organiser un grand bal de la victoire
But he asked the band to play the song Dixie
Mais il a demandé à l'orchestre de jouer la chanson Dixie
For you, Johnny Reb, and all that you believe
Pour toi, Johnny Reb, et tout ce en quoi tu croyais
Cause you fought all the way
Parce que tu as combattu tout le chemin
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
Yeah, you fought all the way, Johnny Reb
Oui, tu as combattu tout le chemin, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way
Tu as combattu tout le chemin
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
Tu as combattu tout le chemin, Johnny Reb
