Lyrics and translation Johnny Horton - The Battle of Bull Run
The
sun
shone
bright
and
clear
that
day
Le
soleil
brillait
de
mille
feux
ce
jour-là
We
all
left
Washington
Nous
avons
tous
quitté
Washington
To
lick
the
Rebel
boys
in
grey
Pour
battre
les
garçons
rebelles
en
gris
At
the
Battle
of
Bull
Run
À
la
bataille
de
Bull
Run
They
came
from
Pennsylvania
and
some
from
Maryland
Ils
venaient
de
Pennsylvanie
et
certains
du
Maryland
To
see
the
Rebel
boys
get
spanked
by
Honest
Abe's
broad
hand
Pour
voir
les
garçons
rebelles
se
faire
battre
par
la
main
large
d'Honest
Abe
We
said
we'll
run
'em
to
Atlanta
and
to
Galveston
Bay
On
a
dit
qu'on
les
poursuivrait
jusqu'à
Atlanta
et
jusqu'à
la
baie
de
Galveston
But
they
ran
us
back
to
Washington
and
Philadelphia
Mais
ils
nous
ont
fait
rebrousser
chemin
jusqu'à
Washington
et
Philadelphie
And
Philadelphia
Et
Philadelphie
The
ladies
wore
their
brightest
shawls
Les
dames
portaient
leurs
châles
les
plus
brillants
The
gentlemen
were
gay
Les
messieurs
étaient
gais
They
came
to
see
their
Yankee
boys
whip
old
Virginia
Ils
sont
venus
voir
leurs
garçons
yankees
fouetter
la
vieille
Virginie
I
held
my
momma's
hand
and
skipped
Je
tenais
la
main
de
ma
maman
et
j'ai
sauté
When
a
soldier
said
to
me
Quand
un
soldat
m'a
dit
Would
you
rather
have
Jeff
Davis'
hat
or
the
sword
of
Bobbie
Lee
Préfères-tu
le
chapeau
de
Jeff
Davis
ou
l'épée
de
Bobbie
Lee
We
said
we'll
run
'em
to
Atlanta
and
to
Galveston
Bay
On
a
dit
qu'on
les
poursuivrait
jusqu'à
Atlanta
et
jusqu'à
la
baie
de
Galveston
But
they
ran
us
back
to
Washington
and
Philadelphia
Mais
ils
nous
ont
fait
rebrousser
chemin
jusqu'à
Washington
et
Philadelphie
And
Philadelphia
Et
Philadelphie
And
then
the
general
doffed
his
hat
and
said
let's
rest
a
spell
Et
puis
le
général
a
enlevé
son
chapeau
et
a
dit
que
l'on
allait
se
reposer
un
peu
And
for
the
first
time
we
all
heard
that
awful
rebel
yell
Et
pour
la
première
fois,
nous
avons
tous
entendu
ce
terrible
cri
rebelle
The
waters
of
Manassas
Creek
became
a
ruby
red
Les
eaux
du
ruisseau
de
Manassas
sont
devenues
rouge
rubis
And
many
a
Reb
and
Yankee
boy
lay
in
the
willows
dead
Et
bien
des
Rebelles
et
des
garçons
yankees
gisaient
morts
dans
les
saules
We
said
we'll
run
'em
to
Atlanta
and
to
Galveston
Bay
On
a
dit
qu'on
les
poursuivrait
jusqu'à
Atlanta
et
jusqu'à
la
baie
de
Galveston
But
they
run
us
back
to
Washington
and
Philadelphia
Mais
ils
nous
ont
fait
rebrousser
chemin
jusqu'à
Washington
et
Philadelphie
And
Philadelphia
Et
Philadelphie
A
fight
locked
in
the
chest
of
time
too
horrible
to
tell
Un
combat
enfermé
dans
le
coffre
du
temps,
trop
horrible
à
raconter
Virginny's
cool
green
countryside
became
a
lake
of
hell
La
campagne
verte
et
fraîche
de
Virginie
est
devenue
un
lac
d'enfer
Don't
count
your
chicks
before
they're
hatched
Ne
compte
pas
tes
poules
avant
qu'elles
ne
soient
écloses
Or
your
work
until
it's
done
Ou
ton
travail
avant
qu'il
ne
soit
fait
Remember
yes
remember
long
the
Battle
of
Bull
Run
Souviens-toi
oui
souviens-toi

de
la
bataille
de
Bull
Run
