Lyrics and translation Lionel Hampton - Lavender Coffin (Remastered)
I
spent
my
life
playing
dice
and
the
horses,
J'ai
passé
ma
vie
à
jouer
aux
dés
et
aux
courses,
From
Saratoga
to
Timbuktu,
De
Saratoga
à
Tombouctou,
And
now
that
I'm
running
my
last
mile
honey,
Et
maintenant
que
je
fais
mon
dernier
kilomètre,
ma
chérie,
Please
make
my
wish
come
true.
Exauce
mon
souhait.
All
I
want
is
a
lavender
coffin,
Tout
ce
que
je
veux,
c'est
un
cercueil
de
lavande,
White
cardinias
all
around
Des
cardinias
blanches
tout
autour,
Swing
band
playing
a
funeral
march,
Un
orchestre
de
swing
jouant
une
marche
funèbre,
And
lower
me
into
the
holy
ground.
Et
que
l'on
m'abaisse
dans
la
terre
sainte.
All
I
want
is
eleven
sweet
maidens,
Tout
ce
que
je
veux,
c'est
onze
jolies
jeunes
filles,
They're
all
singing
that
youve
got
to
be
hip.
Elles
chantent
toutes
que
tu
dois
être
branché.
Singing
around
my
new
lavander
coffin,
Chantant
autour
de
mon
nouveau
cercueil
de
lavande,
And
a
swinging
on
the
funeral
stairs.
Et
dansant
sur
les
marches
funéraires.
(Saint
Peter)
I'm
a
comin'
(Saint-Pierre)
Je
viens
I'm
a
comin',
yeah,
to
stay,
Je
viens,
oui,
pour
rester,
I
ain't
been
bad,
Je
n'ai
pas
été
mauvais,
So
open
up
those
gates
on
my
judgement
day.
Alors
ouvre
ces
portes
le
jour
de
mon
jugement.
Hear
those
angels
so
solomny
singing,
Entends
ces
anges
chanter
si
solennellement,
Gabriel
blowing
a
mournful
sound.
Gabriel
souffle
un
son
de
deuil.
All
I
want
is
a
lavender
coffin
Tout
ce
que
je
veux,
c'est
un
cercueil
de
lavande
When
they
lower
me
into
the
holy
ground.
Quand
ils
m'abaisseront
dans
la
terre
sainte.
