Lyrics and translation Pete Seeger - Abiyoyo (Remastered)




Abiyoyo (Remastered)
Abiyoyo (Remastered)
Once upon a time there was a little boy, who played a ukulele.
Il était une fois un petit garçon qui jouait du ukulélé.
He'd go around town: clink, clunk, CLONK!
Il se promenait en ville : clin, clin, CLOQUE !
Of course, the grownups would be busy, and they'd say:
Bien sûr, les adultes étaient occupés et disaient :
Take that thing out of here.
Sors-moi ce truc d'ici.
We're talking.
On est en train de parler.
Git!" And they'd kick him out of the house
Allez, file !" Et ils le mettaient à la porte.
Not only that.
Et ce n'est pas tout.
The boy's father would get in trouble, too.
Le père du garçon avait aussi des ennuis.
His father was a magician.
Son père était magicien.
He had a magic wand.
Il avait une baguette magique.
He could go Zoop!
Il pouvait faire Zoup !
With it, and make things disappear
Avec elle, et faire disparaître des choses.
But the father was a terrible practical joker.
Mais le père était un terrible farceur.
He'd come up to someone just about to drink a nice glass of...
Il s'approchait de quelqu'un qui s'apprêtait à boire un bon verre de...
Something.
Quelque chose.
Zoop!
Zoup !
The glass would disappear.
Le verre disparaissait.
He'd come up to someone doing a hard job of
Il s'approchait de quelqu'un en train de faire un travail difficile,
Work - maybe sawing a log of wood: zzt, zzt, zzt.
Peut-être en train de scier une bûche de bois : zzt, zzt, zzt.
Up comes the father: Zoop!
Le père arrivait : Zoup !
And the saw would disappear.
Et la scie disparaissait.
He'd come up to someone just about to
Il s'approchait de quelqu'un qui s'apprêtait à
Sit down after a hard day's work, and zoop!
S'asseoir après une dure journée de travail, et zoup !
No chair
Plus de chaise.
People got tired of all this.
Les gens en ont eu assez de tout ça.
They said to the father: "
Ils ont dit au père :"
You get out of here too.
Toi aussi, tu t'en vas d'ici.
Take your magic wand and your
Prends ta baguette magique et tes
Practical jokes and you and your son, just git!"
Mauvaises blagues et toi et ton fils, fichez le camp !"
And the boy and his father, they ostracized them.
Et le garçon et son père, ils les ont ostracisés.
That means, they made 'em live on the outskirts of town
C'est-à-dire qu'ils les ont obligés à vivre à la périphérie de la ville.
Banjo starts a low, menacing strum)
Le banjo commence un grattement sourd et menaçant)
Now, in this town they used to tell stories.
Dans cette ville, on avait l'habitude de raconter des histoires.
The old people used to tell stories about the
Les anciens avaient l'habitude de raconter des histoires sur les
Monsters and giants that lived in the old days!
Monstres et les géants qui vivaient autrefois !
They used to tell a story about Abiyoyo.
Ils avaient l'habitude de raconter une histoire sur Abiyoyo.
They said he was as tall as a house, and could eat...
Ils disaient qu'il était grand comme une maison, et qu'il pouvait manger...
People...
Des gens...
Up. (
Tout crus. (
Of course, nobody believed it, but they told the stories anyway)
Bien sûr, personne n'y croyait, mais ils racontaient les histoires quand même)
But one day, one day, the sun rose, blood red over the hill.
Mais un jour, le soleil s'est levé, rouge sang sur la colline.
And the first people that got up and looked out of their
Et les premiers qui se sont levés et ont regardé par leur
Window - they saw a great big shadow in front of the sun.
Fenêtre ont vu une grande ombre devant le soleil.
And they could feel the whole ground shake (
Et ils ont senti le sol trembler (
Stomp, stomp.)
Boum, boum.)
Women screamed.
Les femmes ont crié.
Strong men fainted.
Des hommes forts se sont évanouis.
They said.
Ils ont dit :
Run for your lives!
Sauvez-vous !
Abiyoyo's coming!
Abiyoyo arrive !
Down through the fields he came.
Il est descendu à travers champs.
He came to the sheep, pasture and grabs a whole sheep.
Il est arrivé au pâturage des moutons et a attrapé un mouton entier.
Yeowp!
Youpi !
He eats it down in one bite.
Il l'a avalé en une seule bouchée.
He comes to the cow pasture.
Il est arrivé au pâturage des vaches.
Yuhk!
Beurk !
Just then the boy and his father woke up.
Juste à ce moment-là, le garçon et son père se sont réveillés.
I think they'd been up late the night before at a party.
Je crois qu'ils s'étaient couchés tard la veille à une fête.
The boy rubbed his eyes and said:
Le garçon s'est frotté les yeux et a dit :
Hey, paw, what's coming over the fields?" The father said: "
"Hé, papa, qu'est-ce qui arrive par les champs ?" Le père a dit :"
Oh, son.
Oh, mon fils.
It's Abiyoyo.
C'est Abiyoyo.
Oh, if only I could get him to lie down.
Si seulement je pouvais le faire s'allonger.
I could get him to disappear."
Je pourrais le faire disparaître."
The boy said, "
Le garçon a dit :"
Come with me father." He grabbed his father by one hand.
Viens avec moi, père." Il a attrapé son père par la main.
The father grabbed the magic wand, and the boy grabbed his ukulele.
Le père a attrapé la baguette magique, et le garçon a attrapé son ukulélé.
Over the fields they went, right up to where Abiyoyo was
Ils ont traversé les champs jusqu'à l'endroit se trouvait Abiyoyo.
People screamed "
Les gens ont crié :"
Don't go near him!
Ne t'approche pas de lui !
He'll eat you alive!"
Il va te manger tout cru !"
There was Abiyoyo.
Il était là, Abiyoyo.
He had long fingernails, 'cause he never cut 'em.
Il avait de longs ongles, parce qu'il ne les coupait jamais.
He had slobbery teeth 'cause he never brushed them.
Il avait les dents baveuses parce qu'il ne les brossait jamais.
Matted hair, 'cause he never combed it.
Les cheveux emmêlés, parce qu'il ne les peignait jamais.
Stinking feet, 'cause he never washed them.
Les pieds puants, parce qu'il ne les lavait jamais.
He was just about to come down with his
Il était sur le point de les attaquer avec ses
Claws, when the boy whipped out his ukulele
Griffes, quand le garçon a sorti son ukulélé.
Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo Abiyoyo,
Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo Abiyoyo,
Yo yoyo yo yoyo Abiyoyo, yo yoyo yo yoyo Abi.
Yo yoyo yo yoyo Abiyoyo, yo yoyo yo yoyo Abi.
Well, the monster had never heard a song about
Le monstre n'avait jamais entendu de chanson sur
Himself before, and a foolish grin spread across his face.
Lui-même auparavant, et un sourire stupide s'est répandu sur son visage.
And started to dance
Et il s'est mis à danser.
ABIYOYO, ABIYOYO, The boy went faster
ABIYOYO, ABIYOYO, Le garçon allait plus vite.
Abiyoyo, yo yoyo, yo yoyo abiyoyo, yo yoyo.
Abiyoyo, yo yoyo, yo yoyo abiyoyo, yo yoyo.
The giant got out of breath.
Le géant était à bout de souffle.
He staggered.
Il a titubé.
He fell down flat on the ground
Il est tombé à plat ventre sur le sol.
Zoop, zoop!
Zoup, zoup !
Went the father with his magic want, and Abiyoyo disappeared
Le père a fait claquer sa baguette magique, et Abiyoyo a disparu.
People streamed out of their houses, and ran across the fields.
Les gens sont sortis de leurs maisons en courant et ont traversé les champs.
They said: "
Ils ont dit :"
Why, he's gone, he's disappeared!"
Mais il est parti, il a disparu !"
They said: "
Ils ont dit :"
Come on back to town.
Reviens en ville.
Bring your damn ukulele
Apporte ton satané ukulélé.
We don't care."
On s'en fiche."
And they all sang:
Et ils ont tous chanté :
Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo
Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo
Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo
Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo
Abiyoyo, yo yoyo yo yoyo
Abiyoyo, yo yoyo yo yoyo
Abiyoyo.
Abiyoyo.
Yo yoyo yo yoyo
Yo yoyo yo yoyo
