The Titanic - Leadbelly translation in French

The Titanic

It was midnight on the sea,
Band playin' "Nearer My God to Thee"
Cryin', "Fare thee, Titanic, fare the well,"

Titanic when it got its load,
Captail hollered, "All aboard,"
Cryin', "Fare thee, Titanic, fare the well,"

Jack Johnson want to get on board,
Captain said, "I ain't hauling no coal,"
Cryin', "Fare thee, Titanic, fare the well,"

Titanic was comin 'round the curve,
When she ran in to a big iceberg,
Cryin', "Fare thee, Titanic, fare the well,"

Titanic was sinkin' down,
Had lifeboats all around
Cryin', "Fare thee, Titanic, fare the well,"

Had them lifeboats all around,
Savin the women and children, lettin' men go down,
Cryin', "Fare thee, Titanic, fare the well,"

Jack Johnson heard the mighty shock
Mighta seen him doin' the Eagle Rock
Cryin', "Fare thee, Titanic, fare the well,"

When the women and children got to land,
Crying "Lord have mercy on my man,"
Cryin', "Fare thee, Titanic, fare the well,"

Le Titanic

C'était minuit en mer,
Le groupe jouait "Plus près de toi, mon Dieu"
Pleurant, "Adieu, Titanic, adieu,"

Titanic quand il a pris sa cargaison,
Le capitaine a crié, "Tout le monde à bord,"
Pleurant, "Adieu, Titanic, adieu,"

Jack Johnson voulait monter à bord,
Le capitaine a dit, "Je ne transporte pas de charbon,"
Pleurant, "Adieu, Titanic, adieu,"

Le Titanic tournait autour de la courbe,
Quand il a heurté un gros iceberg,
Pleurant, "Adieu, Titanic, adieu,"

Le Titanic coulait,
Il y avait des canots de sauvetage partout autour
Pleurant, "Adieu, Titanic, adieu,"

Il y avait ces canots de sauvetage partout,
Sauvant les femmes et les enfants, laissant les hommes couler,
Pleurant, "Adieu, Titanic, adieu,"

Jack Johnson a entendu le choc puissant
On aurait pu le voir faire le Eagle Rock
Pleurant, "Adieu, Titanic, adieu,"

Quand les femmes et les enfants ont atteint la terre,
Pleurant "Seigneur, aie pitié de mon homme,"
Pleurant, "Adieu, Titanic, adieu,"
