Lyrics and translation Countdown Nashville - Sixteen Tons




Sixteen Tons
Seize-tonnes
Some people say a man is made outta mud
Certains disent qu'un homme est fait de boue
A poor man′s made outta muscle and blood
Un pauvre homme est fait de muscles et de sang
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
Muscles et sang et peau et os
A mind that's a-weak and a back that′s strong
Un esprit faible et un dos fort
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Tu charges seize tonnes, qu'est-ce que tu obtiens ?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Un jour de plus et plus profondément endetté
Saint peter don't you call me 'cause i can′t go
Saint Pierre, ne m'appelle pas parce que je ne peux pas y aller
I owe my soul to the company store
Je dois mon âme au magasin de l'entreprise
I was born one mornin′ when the sun didn't shine
Je suis un matin quand le soleil ne brillait pas
I picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine
J'ai pris ma pelle et je suis allé à la mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
J'ai chargé seize tonnes de charbon numéro neuf
And the straw boss said "well, a-bless my soul"
Et le contremaître a dit : « Eh bien, que mon âme soit bénie »
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Tu charges seize tonnes, qu'est-ce que tu obtiens ?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Un jour de plus et plus profondément endetté
Saint peter don′t you call me 'cause i can′t go
Saint Pierre, ne m'appelle pas parce que je ne peux pas y aller
I owe my soul to the company store
Je dois mon âme au magasin de l'entreprise
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin′ rain
Je suis un matin, il pleuvait
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
Les combats et les ennuis, c'est mon deuxième prénom
I was raised in the canebrake* by an ol' mama lion
J'ai été élevé dans la canebrake par une vieille lionne
Cain′t no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line
Aucune femme distinguée ne peut me faire marcher sur la ligne
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Tu charges seize tonnes, qu'est-ce que tu obtiens ?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Un jour de plus et plus profondément endetté
Saint peter don′t you call me 'cause i can′t go
Saint Pierre, ne m'appelle pas parce que je ne peux pas y aller
I owe my soul to the company store
Je dois mon âme au magasin de l'entreprise
If you see me comin', better step aside
Si tu me vois venir, il vaut mieux te mettre à l'écart
A lotta men didn′t, a lotta men died
Beaucoup d'hommes ne l'ont pas fait, beaucoup d'hommes sont morts
One fist of iron, the other of steel
Un poing de fer, l'autre d'acier
If the right one don't a-get you, then the left one will
Si le droit ne te prend pas, alors le gauche le fera
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Tu charges seize tonnes, qu'est-ce que tu obtiens ?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Un jour de plus et plus profondément endetté
Saint peter don′t you call me 'cause i can't go
Saint Pierre, ne m'appelle pas parce que je ne peux pas y aller
I owe my soul to the company store
Je dois mon âme au magasin de l'entreprise
