Lead Belly - Governor Pat Neff (Sweet Mary) - translation of the lyrics into French




Governor Pat Neff (Sweet Mary)
Gouverneur Pat Neff (Douce Marie)
Mary, sweet Mary
Marie, douce Marie
Oh Mary, sweet Mary
Oh Marie, douce Marie
Oh Mary, sweet Mary
Oh Marie, douce Marie
Oh Mary, sweet Mary
Oh Marie, douce Marie
Nineteen hundred and twenty-three,
Mille neuf cent vingt-trois,
When the judge took my liberty away from me
Quand le juge m'a pris ma liberté
In nineteen hundred and twenty-three,
En mille neuf cent vingt-trois,
When the judge took my liberty away from me
Quand le juge m'a pris ma liberté
I left my wife wringin' her hands and cryin',
J'ai laissé ma femme se tordre les mains et pleurer,
Sayin', "Lord have mercy on that man of mine"
Disant, "Seigneur, aie pitié de cet homme qui est le mien"
I left my wife wringin' her hands and cryin',
J'ai laissé ma femme se tordre les mains et pleurer,
Sayin', "Lord have mercy on that man of mine"
Disant, "Seigneur, aie pitié de cet homme qui est le mien"
Told my wife before I left the land,
J'ai dit à ma femme avant de quitter le pays,
If I never no more see her do the best she can
Si je ne la revois plus jamais, qu'elle fasse de son mieux
I told my wife before I left the land,
J'ai dit à ma femme avant de quitter le pays,
If I never no more see her do the best she can
Si je ne la revois plus jamais, qu'elle fasse de son mieux
Goodbye, Mary, ooh ooh ooh
Au revoir, Marie, ooh ooh ooh
Oh Mary, ooh ooh ooh
Oh Marie, ooh ooh ooh
Had the Governor Neff like you got me,
Si j'avais le Gouverneur Neff comme tu m'as eu,
I'd a-wake up in the mornin', I'd set you free
Je me réveillerais le matin et te mettrais en liberté
If I had the Governor Neff like you got me,
Si j'avais le Gouverneur Neff comme tu m'as eu,
I'd a-wake up in the mornin', I would set you free
Je me réveillerais le matin et te mettrais en liberté
Goin' back to Mary, sweet Mary
Retourner à Marie, douce Marie
Oh Mary
Oh Marie
