Lyrics and translation Marlene Dietrich - If He Swing By the String




If He Swing By the String
S'il se balance à la corde
If he swing by the string
S'il se balance à la corde
He will hear the bell ring
Il entendra la cloche sonner
And then there's an end to poor Tommy
Et alors ce sera la fin pour le pauvre Tommy
He must hang by the noose
Il doit pendre à la potence
For no hand will cut loose
Car aucune main ne le libérera
The rope from the neck of poor Tommy.
La corde 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 se balançait
Children were playing, the crowd was gay
Les enfants jouaient, la foule était joyeuse
This was the song that was sung
C'était la chanson qu'on chantait
If he swing by the string
S'il se balance à la corde
He will hear the bell ring
Il entendra la cloche sonner
And then there's an end to poor Tommy
Et alors ce sera la fin pour le pauvre Tommy
He must hang by the noose
Il doit pendre à la potence
For no hand will cut loose
Car aucune main ne le libérera
The rope from the neck of poor Tommy.
La corde 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
Chorus:
Refrain:
If he swing by the string
S'il se balance à la corde
He will hear the bell ring
Il entendra la cloche sonner
And then there's an end to poor Tommy
Et alors ce sera la fin pour le pauvre Tommy
He must hang by the noose
Il doit pendre à la potence
For no hand will cut loose
Car aucune main ne le libérera
The rope from the neck of poor Tommy.
La corde du cou du pauvre Tommy.
Outside a jail only yesterday
Devant la prison, hier
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 se balance à la corde
He will hear the bell ring
Il entendra la cloche sonner
And then there's an end to poor Tommy
Et alors ce sera la fin pour le pauvre Tommy
He must hang by the noose
Il doit pendre à la potence
For no hand will cut loose
Car aucune main ne le libérera
The rope from the neck of poor Tommy.
La corde du cou du pauvre Tommy.
If he swing
S'il se balance
If he swing
S'il se balance
If he swing
S'il se balance
