Lyrics and translation Kate Rusby - Sir Eglamore
Sir
Eglamore
was
a
valiant
knight,
Sir
Eglamore
était
un
chevalier
valeureux,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
He
took
up
his
sword
and
he
went
to
fight,
Il
prit
son
épée
et
alla
se
battre,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
As
he
rode
o'er
hill
and
dale,
Comme
il
chevauchait
sur
la
colline
et
la
vallée,
All
armored
in
a
coat
of
mail
Tout
armé
d'une
cotte
de
mailles
Fa
la
la-n-ba,
da-n-da
da-n-ba,
lanky
down
dilly.
Fa
la
la-n-ba,
da-n-da
da-n-ba,
lanky
down
dilly.
Out
came
a
dragon
from
his
den,
Un
dragon
sortit
de
sa
tanière,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
That
killed
God
knows
how
many
men,
Qui
tua
Dieu
sait
combien
d'hommes,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
When
she
saw
Sir
Eglamore,
Quand
elle
vit
Sir
Eglamore,
You
should
have
heard
that
dragon
roar,
Tu
aurais
dû
entendre
ce
dragon
rugir,
Fa
la
la-n-ba,
da-n-da
da-n-ba,
lanky
down
dilly.
Fa
la
la-n-ba,
da-n-da
da-n-ba,
lanky
down
dilly.
Well
then
the
trees
began
to
shake,
Alors
les
arbres
se
mirent
à
trembler,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
Horse
did
tremble
and
man
did
shake,
Le
cheval
trembla
et
l'homme
trembla,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
The
birds
betook
them
all
to
peep,
Les
oiseaux
se
mirent
tous
à
pépier,
It
would
have
made
a
grown
man
weep,
Cela
aurait
fait
pleurer
un
homme
adulte,
Fa
la
la-n-ba,
da-n-da
da-n-ba,
lanky
down
dilly.
Fa
la
la-n-ba,
da-n-da
da-n-ba,
lanky
down
dilly.
But
all
in
vain
it
was
to
fear,
Mais
c'était
en
vain
d'avoir
peur,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
For
now
they
fall
to
fight
like
bears,
Car
maintenant
ils
se
mettent
à
se
battre
comme
des
ours,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
To
it
they
go
and
soundly
fight,
Ils
y
vont
et
se
battent
vigoureusement,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
The
live-long
day
from
morn
to
night,
Toute
la
journée
du
matin
au
soir,
Fa
la
la-n-ba,
da-n-da
da-n-ba,
lanky
down
dilly.
Fa
la
la-n-ba,
da-n-da
da-n-ba,
lanky
down
dilly.
The
dragon
had
a
plaguey
hide,
Le
dragon
avait
une
peau
maudite,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
That
could
the
sharpest
steel
abide,
Qui
pouvait
résister
à
l'acier
le
plus
pointu,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
No
sword
could
enter
through
her
skin,
Aucune
épée
ne
pouvait
pénétrer
sa
peau,
Which
vexed
the
knight
and
made
her
grin,
Ce
qui
vexait
le
chevalier
et
la
faisait
sourire,
Fa
la
la-n-ba,
da-n-da
da-n-ba,
lanky
down
dilly.
Fa
la
la-n-ba,
da-n-da
da-n-ba,
lanky
down
dilly.
But
as
in
choler
she
did
burn,
Mais
comme
elle
brûlait
de
colère,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
He
fetched
the
dragon
a
great
good
turn,
Il
lui
rendit
un
bon
tour
au
dragon,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
As
a
yawning
she
did
fall,
Comme
elle
baillait,
He
thrust
his
sword
up
hilt
and
all,
Il
enfonça
son
épée
jusqu'à
la
garde,
Fa
la
la-n-ba,
da-n-da
da-n-ba,
lanky
down
dilly.
Fa
la
la-n-ba,
da-n-da
da-n-ba,
lanky
down
dilly.
Like
a
coward
she
did
fly,
fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
Comme
une
lâche,
elle
s'est
envolée,
fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
To
her
den
which
was
hard
by,
Vers
sa
tanière
qui
était
tout
près,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
Fa
la
lanky
down
dilly,
There
she
lay
all
night
and
roared,
Là
elle
resta
toute
la
nuit
et
rugit,
The
knight
was
sorry
for
his
sword,
Le
chevalier
était
désolé
pour
son
épée,
Fa
la
la-n-ba,
da-n-da
da-n-ba,
lanky
down
dilly.
Fa
la
la-n-ba,
da-n-da
da-n-ba,
lanky
down
dilly.
