Lyrics and translation Judy Collins - Tim Evans




Tim Evans
Tim Evans
Tim Evans was a prisoner within his prison cell
Tim Evans était un prisonnier dans sa cellule
And those who read about his crime, they damned his soul to hell
Et ceux qui lisaient son crime, ils maudirent son âme en enfer
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down"
En disant: "Descends, assassin, descends"
For the murder of his own dear wife and the killin' of his child
Pour le meurtre de sa chère épouse et le meurtre de son enfant
The jury found him guilty and the hangin' judge, he smiled
Le jury l'a déclaré coupable et le juge pendu, il a souri
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down"
En disant: "Descends, assassin, descends"
Tim Evans pleaded innocent and swore by Him on High
Tim Evans a plaidé non coupable et a juré par Lui-même en Haut
He never killed his own dear wife or caused his child to die
Il n'a jamais tué sa chère épouse ni causé la mort de son enfant
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down"
En disant: "Descends, assassin, descends"
They moved him out at six o'clock to his final flowery dell
Ils l'ont emmené à six heures pour sa dernière vallée fleurie
And day and night two guards were there and never left his cell
Et jour et nuit, deux gardes étaient et n'ont jamais quitté sa cellule
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down"
En disant: "Descends, assassin, descends"
Sometimes they played cards with him - solo and pontoon
Parfois, ils jouaient aux cartes avec lui - solo et pontoon
To stop him broodin' on the rope that was to be his doom
Pour l'empêcher de ruminer sur la corde qui devait être son destin
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down"
En disant: "Descends, assassin, descends"
The governor came in one day with a chaplain by his side
Le gouverneur est entré un jour avec un chapelain à ses côtés
Said, "Your appeal has been turned down, prepare yourself to die"
Il a dit: "Votre appel a été rejeté, préparez-vous à mourir"
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down"
En disant: "Descends, assassin, descends"
Tim Evans walked in the prison yard, guards walked behind
Tim Evans a marché dans la cour de la prison, les gardes marchaient derrière
He saw the sky above the wall and knew no peace of mind
Il a vu le ciel au-dessus du mur et ne connaissait aucune paix
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down"
En disant: "Descends, assassin, descends"
They fixed the rope around his neck, buckled behind his ear
Ils ont fixé la corde autour de son cou, bouclée derrière son oreille
The prison bell was tollin', but Tim Evans did not hear
La cloche de la prison sonnait, mais Tim Evans n'a pas entendu
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down"
En disant: "Descends, assassin, descends"
A thousand men were cursin', bangin' on the doors
Mille hommes maudissaient, frappant aux portes
But Tim Evans did not hear them, he was deaf forevermore
Mais Tim Evans ne les a pas entendus, il était sourd à jamais
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down"
En disant: "Descends, assassin, descends"
They sent Tim Evans to the drop for a crime he didn't do
Ils ont envoyé Tim Evans à la chute pour un crime qu'il n'a pas commis
'Twas Christie was the murderer, the judge and jury, too
C'était Christie qui était l'assassin, le juge et le jury aussi
Sayin', "Go down, you murderer, go down"
En disant: "Descends, assassin, descends"
