Lyrics and translation Lefty Frizzell - The Long Black Veil
The Long Black Veil
Le long voile noir
Ten
years
ago,
on
a
cold,
dark
night
Il
y
a
dix
ans,
par
une
nuit
froide
et
sombre
There
was
someone
killed
'neath
the
town
hall
light
Quelqu'un
a
été
tué
sous
la
lumière
de
la
salle
municipale
There
were
few
at
the
scene,
but
they
all
agreed
Il
y
avait
peu
de
témoins
sur
les
lieux,
mais
tous
étaient
d'accord
That
the
slayer
who
ran
looked
a
lot
like
me
Que
le
tueur
qui
s'est
enfui
ressemblait
beaucoup
à
moi
The
judge
said,
"Son
what
is
your
alibi?
If
you
were
somewhere
else
then
you
won't
have
to
die"
Le
juge
a
dit
: "Fils,
quel
est
ton
alibi
? Si
tu
étais
ailleurs,
tu
n'auras
pas
à
mourir."
I
spoke
not
a
word,
though
it
meant
my
life
Je
n'ai
pas
dit
un
mot,
bien
que
cela
signifiait
ma
vie
For
I
had
been
in
the
arms
of
my
best
friend's
wife
Car
j'étais
dans
les
bras
de
la
femme
de
mon
meilleur
ami
She
walks
these
hills
in
a
long
black
veil
Elle
arpente
ces
collines
dans
un
long
voile
noir
She
visits
my
grave
when
the
night
winds
wail
Elle
visite
ma
tombe
lorsque
les
vents
de
la
nuit
hurlent
Nobody
knows,
nobody
sees
Personne
ne
sait,
personne
ne
voit
Nobody
knows
but
me
Personne
ne
sait,
sauf
moi
The
scaffold
was
high
and
eternity
nears
L'échafaud
était
haut
et
l'éternité
approche
She
stood
in
the
crowd
and
shed
not
a
tear
Elle
se
tenait
dans
la
foule
et
n'a
pas
versé
une
larme
But
sometimes
at
night
when
the
cold
wind
moans
Mais
parfois
la
nuit,
lorsque
le
vent
froid
gémit
In
a
long
black
veil
she
cries
over
my
bones
Sous
un
long
voile
noir,
elle
pleure
sur
mes
os
She
walks
these
hills
in
a
long
black
veil
Elle
arpente
ces
collines
dans
un
long
voile
noir
She
visits
my
grave
when
the
night
winds
wail
Elle
visite
ma
tombe
lorsque
les
vents
de
la
nuit
hurlent
Nobody
knows,
nobody
sees
Personne
ne
sait,
personne
ne
voit
Nobody
knows
but
me
Personne
ne
sait,
sauf
moi
Nobody
knows
but
me
Personne
ne
sait,
sauf
moi
Nobody
knows
but
me
Personne
ne
sait,
sauf
moi
