Reverend Mr. Black - Lonnie Donegantranslation in French




Reverend Mr. Black
Le révérend M. Black
He rode easy in the saddle, he was tall and lean
Il chevauchait facilement en selle, il était grand et maigre
And at first you thought nothing but a streak of mean
Et au début, tu ne pensais à rien d'autre qu'à un trait de méchanceté
Could make any man look so down right strong
Pourrait faire paraître un homme si fort
But one look in his eyes and you knowed you was wrong
Mais un regard dans ses yeux et tu savais que tu avais tort
He was a mountain of a man, and I want you to know
C'était une montagne d'homme, et je veux que tu saches
He could preach hot hell or freezin' snow
Il pouvait prêcher l'enfer chaud ou la neige glaciale
He carried a Bible in a canvas sack
Il portait une Bible dans un sac en toile
And folks just called him the Reverend Mr. Black
Et les gens l'appelaient simplement le révérend M. Black
He was poor as a beggar
Il était pauvre comme un mendiant
But he rode like a king
Mais il chevauchait comme un roi
Sometimes in the evenin'
Parfois le soir
I could hear him sing
Je pouvais l'entendre chanter
I gotta walk that lonesome valley
Je dois marcher dans cette vallée solitaire
I got to walk it by myself
Je dois la parcourir tout seul
Ain't, nobody else can walk it for me
Il n'y a personne d'autre qui peut la parcourir pour moi
I got to walk it by myself
Je dois la parcourir tout seul
You got to walk that lonesome valley
Tu dois marcher dans cette vallée solitaire
You got to walk it by yourself
Tu dois la parcourir tout seul
Oh, nobody else can walk it for you
Oh, personne d'autre ne peut la parcourir pour toi
You got to walk it by yourself
Tu dois la parcourir tout seul
If ever I could have thought this man in black
Si jamais j'avais pu penser que cet homme en noir
Was soft and had any yellow up his back
Était doux et avait du jaune dans le dos
I gave that notion up one day
J'ai abandonné cette idée un jour
A lumberjack came in and it wasn't to pray
Un bûcheron est entré et ce n'était pas pour prier
Yeah, he kicked open the meeting house door
Oui, il a enfoncé la porte de la maison de réunion
And he cussed everybody up and down the floor
Et il a insulté tout le monde sur le sol
Then, when things got quiet in the place
Puis, quand les choses se sont calmées dans l'endroit
He walked up and cussed in the preacher's face
Il s'est approché et a insulté le visage du prédicateur
He hit that reverend like the kick of a mule
Il a frappé ce révérend comme le coup de pied d'un mulet
And to my way of thinkin' it took one pure fool
Et à mon avis, il a fallu un vrai imbécile
To turn the other cheek to that lumberjack
Pour tourner l'autre joue à ce bûcheron
But that's what he did, The Reverend Mr. Black
Mais c'est ce qu'il a fait, le révérend M. Black
He stood like a rock, a man among men
Il s'est tenu comme un roc, un homme parmi les hommes
Then he let that lumberjack hit him again
Puis il a laissé ce bûcheron le frapper encore
And then with a voice as kind as could be
Et puis avec une voix aussi douce que possible
He cut him down like a big oak tree when he said
Il l'a coupé comme un grand chêne quand il a dit
I gotta walk that lonesome valley
Je dois marcher dans cette vallée solitaire
I got to walk it by myself
Je dois la parcourir tout seul
Ain't, nobody else can walk it for me
Il n'y a personne d'autre qui peut la parcourir pour moi
I got to walk it by myself
Je dois la parcourir tout seul
You got to walk that lonesome valley
Tu dois marcher dans cette vallée solitaire
You got to walk it by yourself
Tu dois la parcourir tout seul
Oh, nobody else can walk it for you
Oh, personne d'autre ne peut la parcourir pour toi
You got to walk it by yourself
Tu dois la parcourir tout seul
It's been many years since we had to part
Il y a bien des années que nous avons nous séparer
And I guess I learned his ways by heart
Et je suppose que j'ai appris ses manières par cœur
'Cause I can still hear his sermon's ring
Parce que j'entends toujours son sermon sonner
Down in the valley where he used to sing
Dans la vallée il avait l'habitude de chanter
I followed him, yes siree, and I don't regret it
Je l'ai suivi, oui, et je ne le regrette pas
I hope I will always be a credit
J'espère que je serai toujours à la hauteur
To his memory 'cause I want you to understand
De sa mémoire parce que je veux que tu comprennes
The Reverend Mr. Black was my old man
Le révérend M. Black était mon vieux
I gotta walk that lonesome valley
Je dois marcher dans cette vallée solitaire
I got to walk it by myself
Je dois la parcourir tout seul
Ain't, nobody else can walk it for me
Il n'y a personne d'autre qui peut la parcourir pour moi
I got to walk it by myself
Je dois la parcourir tout seul
You got to walk that lonesome valley
Tu dois marcher dans cette vallée solitaire
You got to walk it by yourself
Tu dois la parcourir tout seul
Oh, nobody else can walk it for you
Oh, personne d'autre ne peut la parcourir pour toi
You got to walk it by yourself
Tu dois la parcourir tout seul
