Lyrics and translation Paul Robeson - Canoe Song




Canoe Song
Chanson du canot
Ayee oko, ayege der
Ayee oko, ayege der
Ayee oko, ayege der
Ayee oko, ayege der
Ayee oko, Ayee oko, Ayee oko
Ayee oko, Ayee oko, Ayee oko
Ayee oko, ayege der
Ayee oko, ayege der
Ayee oko, ayege der
Ayee oko, ayege der
The current swings
Le courant se balance
The water sings
L'eau chante
A river rhyme
Une rime de rivière
For light is a burden of labour
Car la lumière est un fardeau de travail
When each bends his back with his neighbour
Lorsque chacun plie le dos avec son voisin
So each for all
Donc chacun pour tous
We stand or fall
Nous tenons debout ou tombons
And all for each
Et tous pour chacun
Until we reach
Jusqu'à ce que nous atteignions
The journeys end
La fin du voyage
Sandy the strong
Sandy le fort
Sandy the wise
Sandy le sage
Righter of wrong
Redresseur de torts
Hater of lies
Haineux des mensonges
Laughed as he fought
Rira alors qu'il se battra
Worked as he played
Travaille comme il joue
As he has taught
Comme il a enseigné
Let it be made
Que ce soit fait
Away you go
Allez-y
Ayega der
Ayega der
And make it so
Et faites-le
Ayega der
Ayega der
Together all
Ensemble tous
The paddles fall
Les pagaies tombent
In tune and time
En harmonie et en temps
So look alive, ayege der
Alors, soyez vivant, ayege der
And dip and drive, ayege der
Et plongez et conduisez, ayege der
The current swings
Le courant se balance
The water sings
L'eau chante
A river rhyme
Une rime de rivière
For light is a burden of labour
Car la lumière est un fardeau de travail
When each bends his back with his neighbour
Lorsque chacun plie le dos avec son voisin
So each for all
Donc chacun pour tous
We stand or fall
Nous tenons debout ou tombons
And all for each
Et tous pour chacun
Untill we reach
Jusqu'à ce que nous atteignions
The journeys end
La fin du voyage
