Lyrics and translation Marty Robbins - Private Wilson White
Private
Wilson
White,
America
is
proud
tonight
Soldat
Wilson
White,
l'Amérique
est
fière
ce
soir
Proud
to
claim
you
for
their
hero,
Private
White
Fière
de
te
revendiquer
comme
son
héros,
Soldat
White
On
a
battlefield
one
day
in
a
land
so
far
away
Sur
un
champ
de
bataille
un
jour,
dans
un
pays
si
lointain
Mid
the
rattle
of
machine
guns
in
the
dawn′s
first
golden
light
Au
milieu
du
crépitement
des
mitraillettes,
à
la
première
lumière
dorée
de
l'aube
Twenty
men
lay
close
to
death,
nineteen
of
them
held
their
breath
Vingt
hommes
étaient
proches
de
la
mort,
dix-neuf
d'entre
eux
retenaient
leur
souffle
While
one
volunteered
to
save
them,
volunteered
to
give
his
life
Alors
qu'un
seul
se
porta
volontaire
pour
les
sauver,
se
porta
volontaire
pour
donner
sa
vie
Private
Wilson
White,
America
is
proud
tonight
Soldat
Wilson
White,
l'Amérique
est
fière
ce
soir
Proud
to
claim
you
for
their
hero,
Private
White
Fière
de
te
revendiquer
comme
son
héros,
Soldat
White
Nineteen
lives
he
meant
to
save,
not
one
backward
glance
he
gave
Dix-neuf
vies
qu'il
voulait
sauver,
il
ne
fit
pas
un
seul
regard
en
arrière
As
he
yelled,
for
God
and
country,
through
an
open
field
he
ran
Alors
qu'il
criait,
pour
Dieu
et
pour
la
patrie,
il
traversa
un
champ
ouvert
en
courant
But
the
enemy
had
seen
and
they
understood
his
scheme
Mais
l'ennemi
avait
vu
et
compris
son
plan
And
the
fire
from
their
machine
guns
knocked
the
rifle
from
his
hands
Et
le
feu
de
leurs
mitraillettes
lui
fit
tomber
le
fusil
des
mains
Private
Wilson
White,
America
is
proud
tonight
Soldat
Wilson
White,
l'Amérique
est
fière
ce
soir
Proud
to
claim
you
for
their
hero,
Private
White
Fière
de
te
revendiquer
comme
son
héros,
Soldat
White
Seven
bullets
found
their
mark,
seven
bullets
near
the
heart
Sept
balles
atteignirent
leur
cible,
sept
balles
près
du
cœur
And
the
force
of
seven
bullets
knocked
the
soldier
to
the
ground
Et
la
force
de
sept
balles
fit
tomber
le
soldat
au
sol
But
his
promise
he
must
keep,
and
he
staggered
to
his
feet
Mais
il
devait
tenir
sa
promesse,
et
il
se
releva
en
titubant
Ran
toward
the
four
machine
guns
that
pinned
the
soldiers
down
Il
courut
vers
les
quatre
mitraillettes
qui
tenaient
les
soldats
en
joue
Private
Wilson
White,
America
is

tonight
Soldat

White,

soir
Proud

you
for

hero,
Private
White
Fière
de
te
revendiquer
comme
son
héros,
Soldat
White
Bullets
flyin'
everywhere,
smoke
and
gunfire
filled
the
air
Des
balles
volaient
partout,
la
fumée
et
les
tirs
emplissaient
l'air
Onward
ran
the
wounded
soldier
to
keep
the
vow
he
made
Le
soldat
blessé
courut
en
avant
pour
tenir
son
serment
Nearly
dead,
but
deep
within,
was
the
strength
to
pull
the
pin
Presque
mort,
mais
au
fond
de
lui,
il
avait
la
force
de
tirer
la
goupille
As
he
yelled,
I
died
for
freedom,
he
threw
the
hand
grenade
Alors
qu'il
criait,
Je
suis
mort
pour
la
liberté,
il
lança
la
grenade
