Lyrics and translation Paul Kelly - Northern Rivers




Northern Rivers
Rivières du Nord
She was born by northern rivers
Tu es née près des rivières du Nord
Where the land breathes fire and flood
la terre respire le feu et les inondations
She can tell the coming weather
Tu peux sentir la météo qui arrive
In her bones, her body and her blood
Dans tes os, ton corps et ton sang
I was born here on the southern bay
Je suis ici sur la baie du sud
Concerning myself, I don't have much to say
Concernant moi, je n'ai pas grand-chose à dire
Well, she grew up on northern rivers
Tu as grandi près des rivières du Nord
Coloured birds sang her out of bed each day
Des oiseaux colorés te chantaient au réveil chaque jour
She made friends with wild creatures
Tu as fait des amis avec des créatures sauvages
They were her dreaming, her study, and her play
Ils étaient tes rêves, tes études et ton jeu
She's kind of wild too, hard to keep in view
Tu es un peu sauvage aussi, difficile à voir
The more I know her, the less I do
Plus je te connais, moins je comprends
And she came down from northern rivers
Et tu es descendue des rivières du Nord
Made her home here on the southern bay
Pour t'installer ici sur la baie du sud
The winter wind here make her shiver
Le vent d'hiver te fait frissonner ici
But she discovers new wonders every day
Mais tu découvres de nouvelles merveilles chaque jour
She's got some wonder, I'm telling you
Tu as une certaine magie, je te le dis
The more I know her, the less I do
Plus je te connais, moins je comprends
Now the birds here have had their season
Les oiseaux ici ont vécu leur saison
They are fed up and getting ready to fly
Ils en ont assez et se préparent à s'envoler
She will always have her reason
Tu auras toujours ta raison
To take her leave in the good old by and by
De partir dans le bon vieux temps
Whatever she does to herself she's true
Quoi que tu fasses, tu es vraie
The more I know her the less I do
Plus je te connais, moins je comprends
I was born here on the southern bay
Je suis ici sur la baie du sud
There ain't much more now, that I need to say
Il n'y a plus grand-chose à dire maintenant
