Lyrics and translation Lead Belly - Poor Howard




Poor Howard
Pauvre Howard
Poor Howard's dead and gone, left me here to sing his song
Pauvre Howard est mort et parti, il m'a laissé ici pour chanter sa chanson
Poor Howard's dead and gone, left me here to sing his song
Pauvre Howard est mort et parti, il m'a laissé ici pour chanter sa chanson
Poor Howard had a wife and she nagged him all his life
Pauvre Howard avait une femme et elle le harcelait toute sa vie
So he used his butcher knife---like I said he had a wife
Alors il a utilisé son couteau de boucher --- comme j'ai dit, il avait une femme
Now poor Howard's dead and gone...
Maintenant, pauvre Howard est mort et parti ...
They took Howard off to jail, wouldn't let me go his bail,
Ils ont emmené Howard en prison, ils ne m'ont pas laissé payer sa caution,
They said if he is your friend, buy a lily for his hand
Ils ont dit que s'il est ton ami, achète un lys pour sa main
Poor Howard's dead and gone...
Pauvre Howard est mort et parti ...
When we laid his bones to rest we fulfilled his last request
Lorsque nous avons mis ses os au repos, nous avons exaucé sa dernière requête
He said buddies bury me far from her as I can be
Il a dit : « Mes amis, enterrez-moi aussi loin qu'elle que possible »
Now poor Howard's dead and gone...
Maintenant, pauvre Howard est mort et parti ...
His last words were Friends, goodbye. Don't you worry; don't you cry.
Ses derniers mots étaient : « Amis, au revoir. Ne vous inquiétez pas ; ne pleurez pas. »
I don't mind this a gettin' hung, at least I stopped her naggin' tongue'
« Je ne me soucie pas d'être pendu, au moins j'ai arrêté sa langue qui me harcelait »
Now poor Howard's dead and gone...
Maintenant, pauvre Howard est mort et parti ...
