Lyrics and translation Mario Lanza - The Riff Song ( from the Desert Song Rome Recordings )
Over
the
ground
Sur
le
sol
There
comes
a
sound
Un
son
arrive
It
is
the
drum,
drum,
drum
of
hoof-beats
in
the
sand.
C'est
le
tambour,
tambour,
tambour
des
sabots
dans
le
sable.
Quiver
with
fear
Tremble
de
peur
If
you
are
near
Si
tu
es
près
It
is
the
thunder
of
the
"shadow"
and
his
band.
C'est
le
tonnerre
de
"l'ombre"
et
de
sa
bande.
And
all
who
plunder
learn
to
understand,
to
understand:
Et
tous
ceux
qui
pillent
apprennent
à
comprendre,
à
comprendre :
The
cry
of
Le
cri
de
Ho!
Ho !
So
we
sing
as
we
are
riding
Alors
nous
chantons
en
chevauchant
Ho!
Ho !
It's
a
time
you
best
be
hiding
low,
C'est
un
moment
où
tu
ferais
mieux
de
te
cacher
bas,
It
means
the
riffs
are
abroad,
Cela
signifie
que
les
riffs
sont
à
l'extérieur,
Go,
Va-t-en,
Before
you've
bitten
the
sword.
Avant
que
tu
n'aies
mordu
l'épée.
Ho!
Ho !
That's
the
sound
that
comes
to
warn
you.
C'est
le
son
qui
vient
te
prévenir.
So!
Alors !
In
the
night
or
early
morning,
you
know,
Dans
la
nuit
ou
tôt
le
matin,
tu
sais,
If
you're
the
"red
shadow's"
foe,
Si
tu
es
l'ennemi
de
"l'ombre
rouge",
The
riffs
will
strike
with
a
blow,
Les
riffs
frapperont
d'un
coup,
That
brings
you
woe.
Ce
qui
t'apporte
le
malheur.
Ho!
