Nina Simone - Cotton Eyed Joe (Live Version) - translation of the lyrics into French




Cotton Eyed Joe (Live Version)
Cotton Eyed Joe (Version live)
Traditional
Traditionnel
If it hadn't been for cotton-eye joe
Si ce n'avait pas été pour Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married long time ago
J'aurais été mariée depuis longtemps
Where did you come from. Where did you go?
D'où viens-tu ? es-tu allé ?
Where did you come from cotton-eye joe?
D'où viens-tu, Cotton-Eye Joe ?
(Repeat)
(Répéter)
He came to town like a midwinter storm
Il est arrivé en ville comme une tempête hivernale
He rode through the fields so
Il a traversé les champs si
Handsome and strong
Beau et fort
His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun
Ses yeux étaient ses outils et son sourire son arme
But all he had come for was having some fun
Mais tout ce qu'il était venu chercher, c'était s'amuser
(Repeat intro)
(Répéter l'intro)
He brought disaster wherever he went
Il a apporté la catastrophe partout il est allé
The hearts of the girls was to hell broken sent
Les cœurs des filles ont été brisés en enfer
They all ran away so nobody would know
Elles se sont toutes enfuies pour que personne ne sache
And left only men cause of cotton-eye joe
Et ont laissé que des hommes à cause de Cotton-Eye Joe
(Repeat intro)
(Répéter l'intro)
