Lyrics and translation Merle Travis - Beer Barrel Polka
There′s
a
garden,
what
a
garden
Dans
un
jardin,
mon
amour,
dans
un
jardin
Only
happy
faces
bloom
there
Seules
les
visages
heureux
s'y
épanouissent
And
there's
never
any
room
there
Et
on
n'y
trouve
jamais
de
place
For
a
worry
or
a
gloom
there
Pour
un
souci
ou
un
chagrin
Oh
there′s
music
and
there's
dancing
Oh,
il
y
a
de
la
musique
et
de
la
danse
And
a
lot
of
sweet
romancing
Et
beaucoup
de
douces
romances
When
they
play
the
polka
Quand
on
joue
la
polka
They
all
get
in
the
swing
Ils
se
mettent
tous
dans
le
swing
Every
time
they
hear
that
oom-pa-pa
Chaque
fois
qu'ils
entendent
cet
oom-pa-pa
Everybody
feels
so
tra-la-la
Tout
le
monde
se
sent
si
tra-la-la
They
want
to
throw
their
cares
away
Ils
veulent
se
débarrasser
de
leurs
soucis
They
all
go
lah-de-ah-de-ay
Ils
disent
tous
lah-de-ah-de-ay
Then
they
hear
a
rumble
on
the
floor,
the
floor
Alors
ils
entendent
un
grondement
sur
le
sol,
le
sol
It's
the
big
surprise
they′re
waiting
for
C'est
la
grande
surprise
qu'ils
attendent
And
all
the
couples
form
a
ring
Et
tous
les
couples
forment
un
cercle
For
miles
around
you′ll
hear
them
sing
Des
kilomètres
à
la
ronde,
tu
les
entendras
chanter
Roll
out
the
barrel,
we'll
have
a
barrel
of
fun
Sors
le
tonneau,
nous
allons
nous
amuser
Roll
out
the
barrel,
we′ve
got
the
blues
on
the
run
Sors
le
tonneau,
nous
avons
le
blues
en
fuite
Sing
boom
tararra,
ring
out
a
song
of
good
cheer
Chante
boom
tararra,
fais
retentir
une
chanson
de
bonne
humeur
Now's
the
time
to
roll
the
barrel,
for
the
gang′s
all
here
Il
est
temps
de
faire
rouler
le
tonneau,
car
la
bande
est
là
Da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Then
they
hear
a
rumble
on
the
floor-or-or-or
Alors
ils
entendent
un
grondement
sur
le
sol-or-or-or
It's
