Lyrics and translation Marlene Dietrich - If He Swing by the String (Live)




If He Swing by the String (Live)
S'il oscille au bout de la corde (Live)
If he swing by the string
S'il oscille au bout de la corde
He will hear the bell ring
Il entendra la cloche sonner
And then there's an end to poor Tommy
Et alors c'est la fin pour le pauvre Tommy
He must hang by the noose
Il doit pendre à la corde
For no hand will cut loose
Car aucune main ne le délivrera
The rope from the neck of poor Tommy.
De la corde autour du cou du pauvre Tommy.
Long long ago on a summer day
Il y a longtemps, un jour d'été
There in the sunlight he swung
Là, au soleil, il a oscillé
Children were playing, the crowd was gay
Les enfants jouaient, la foule était joyeuse
This was the song that was sung
C'est cette chanson qu'on chantait
If he swing by the string
S'il oscille au bout de la corde
He will hear the bell ring
Il entendra la cloche sonner
And then there's an end to poor Tommy
Et alors c'est la fin pour le pauvre Tommy
He must hang by the noose
Il doit pendre à la corde
For no hand will cut loose
Car aucune main ne le délivrera
The rope from the neck of poor Tommy.
De la corde autour du cou du pauvre Tommy.
Down went the sun over Tiger Hill
Le soleil s'est couché sur Tiger Hill
Tommy was dead and gone
Tommy était mort et parti
Gone was the crowd and the night was still
La foule a disparu et la nuit était calme
Only their soul lingered on
Seule leur âme a persisté
If he swing by the string
S'il oscille au bout de la corde
He will hear the bell ring
Il entendra la cloche sonner
And then there's an end to poor Tommy
Et alors c'est la fin pour le pauvre Tommy
He must hang by the noose
Il doit pendre à la corde
For no hand will cut loose
Car aucune main ne le délivrera
The rope from the neck of poor Tommy.
De la corde autour du cou du pauvre Tommy.
Outside a jail only yesterday
Devant la prison, hier seulement
Mother was wiping a tear
Sa mère essuyait une larme
People were waiting their faces grey
Les gens attendaient, le visage gris
But their song hadn't changed through the year
Mais leur chanson n'a pas changé au fil des ans
If he swing by the string
S'il oscille au bout de la corde
He will hear the bell ring
Il entendra la cloche sonner
And then there's an end to poor Tommy
Et alors c'est la fin pour le pauvre Tommy
He must hang by the noose
Il doit pendre à la corde
For no hand will cut loose
Car aucune main ne le délivrera
The rope from the neck of poor Tommy.
De la corde autour du cou du pauvre Tommy.
If he swing
S'il oscille
If he swing
S'il oscille
If he swing
S'il oscille
