Lyrics and translation Johnny Horton - O' Leary's Cow
October
eighteen
seventy
one
that′s
when
this
great
big
fire
begun
Le
dix-huit
octobre
mil
huit
cent
soixante
et
onze,
c'est
alors
que
ce
grand
incendie
a
commencé
The
Windy
City
was
a
ball
of
flame
and
O'Leary′s
cow
was
the
one
to
blame
La
ville
venteuse
était
une
boule
de
feu,
et
la
vache
d'O'Leary
était
celle
qu'il
fallait
blâmer
The
fire
men
fought
for
days
on
end
Les
pompiers
ont
lutté
pendant
des
jours
They
could
fight
the
fire
but
they
couldn't
fight
the
wind
Ils
pouvaient
combattre
le
feu,
mais
ils
ne
pouvaient
pas
combattre
le
vent
The
wind
fanned
the
flames
and
it
started
again
and
nobody
knew
if
it
ever
would
end
Le
vent
attisa
les
flammes
et
tout
recommença,
et
personne
ne
savait
si
cela
finirait
un
jour
(She
kicked
up
her
heels
with
out
a
hint
kicked
the
lantern
over
and
away
she
went
(Elle
a
levé
les
talons
sans
hésiter,
a
renversé
la
lanterne
et
s'est
enfuie
The
world
couldn't
help
but
be
amazed)
how
one
little
cow
started
such
a
blaze
Le
monde
ne
pouvait
s'empêcher
d'être
stupéfait :
comment
une
petite
vache
a-t-elle
pu
déclencher
un
tel
incendie ?)
The
rich
and
the
poor
were
both
alike
fightin′
and
prayin′
for
their
life
Les
riches
et
les
pauvres
se
ressemblaient
tous,
se
battant
et
priant
pour
leur
vie
Then
at
last
the
Lord
looked
down
and
he
sent
a
little
rain
to
the
windy
town
Puis,
enfin,
le
Seigneur
regarda
vers
le
bas
et
envoya
une
petite
pluie
sur
la
ville
venteuse

Le

octobre

cent
soixante
et
onze...
(She
kicked
up
her
heels...
(Elle
leva
les
talons...
The
after
math
was
a
sight
to
see
the
loss
of
life
and
property
Les
conséquences
furent
un
spectacle
à
voir,
les
pertes
en
vies
humaines
et
en
biens
The
people
said
it
was
a
shame
but
O'Lear′y's
cow
still
caught
the
blame
Les
gens
ont
dit
que
c'était
dommage,
mais
la
vache
d'O'Leary
en
a
quand
même
été
tenue
pour
responsable
(She
kicked
up
her
heels...
(Elle
leva
les
talons...
