John Henry - Pete Seegertranslation in French




John Henry
John Henry
John Henry was a little baby
John Henry était un petit bébé
Sitting on his papa's knee
Assis sur les genoux de son papa
And he picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel
Et il a ramassé un marteau et un petit morceau d'acier
Cried, A hammer's gonna be the death of me, Lord, Lord
Il a crié : "Un marteau va me tuer, Seigneur, Seigneur"
Hammer's gonna be the death of me
Un marteau va me tuer
Cried, A hammer's gonna be the death of me
Il a crié : "Un marteau va me tuer"
Hammer's gonna be the death of me
Un marteau va me tuer
Now the captain he said to John Henry
Maintenant, le capitaine a dit à John Henry
I'm gonna bring that steam drill around
Je vais amener ce perforateur à vapeur
I'm gonna bring that steam drill out on the job
Je vais amener ce perforateur à vapeur sur le chantier
I'm gonna whop that steel on down, down, down
Je vais frapper cet acier vers le bas, vers le bas, vers le bas
Whop that steel on down
Frapper cet acier vers le bas
I'm gonna whop that steel on
Je vais frapper cet acier
Gonna whop that steel on
Je vais frapper cet acier
John Henry told his captain
John Henry a dit à son capitaine
O'lord a man ain't nothin' but a man
Oh Seigneur, un homme n'est rien de plus qu'un homme
But before I'd let your steam drill beat me down
Mais avant de laisser ton perforateur à vapeur me battre
I would die with a hammer in my hand
Je mourrais avec un marteau dans la main
I would die with a hammer in my hand
Je mourrais avec un marteau dans la main
I would die with a hammer in my
Je mourrais avec un marteau dans mon
I would die with a hammer in my hand
Je mourrais avec un marteau dans la main
John Henry said to his shaker
John Henry a dit à son secoueur
Shaker, why don't you sing?
Secoueur, pourquoi ne chantes-tu pas ?
Cause I'm swingin' thirty pounds from my hips on down
Parce que je balance trente livres de mes hanches vers le bas
Just listen to that cold steel ring
Écoute juste ce son d'acier froid
Just listen to that cold steel
Écoute juste ce son d'acier froid
Just listen to that cold steel
Écoute juste ce son d'acier froid
Just listen to that cold steel ring
Écoute juste ce son d'acier froid
Now the Captain, he said to John Henry
Maintenant, le capitaine a dit à John Henry
I believe that mountain's cavin' in
Je crois que la montagne s'effondre
John Henry said right back to the captain
John Henry a répondu au capitaine
Ain't nothing but my hammer sucking wind
Ce n'est que mon marteau qui aspire le vent
Ain't nothing but my hammer sucking wind
Ce n'est que mon marteau qui aspire le vent
Ain't nothing but my hammer sucking wind
Ce n'est que mon marteau qui aspire le vent
Ain't nothing but my hammer sucking wind
Ce n'est que mon marteau qui aspire le vent
Now the man that invented the steam drill
Maintenant, l'homme qui a inventé le perforateur à vapeur
He thought he was mighty fine
Il pensait qu'il était très bien
But John Henry drove fifteen feet
Mais John Henry a creusé quinze pieds
And the steam drill only made nine. Lord, Lord
Et le perforateur à vapeur n'a fait que neuf. Seigneur, Seigneur
The steam drill only made nine
Le perforateur à vapeur n'a fait que neuf
I said, the steam drill only made
J'ai dit, le perforateur à vapeur n'a fait que
Said, the steam drill only made
Dit, le perforateur à vapeur n'a fait que
John Henry hammered in the mountain
John Henry a martelé dans la montagne
His hammer was striking fire
Son marteau frappait le feu
But he worked so hard, he broke his poor heart
Mais il a tellement travaillé qu'il s'est brisé le cœur
And he laid down his hammer and he died
Et il a déposé son marteau et il est mort
He laid down his hammer and he died
Il a déposé son marteau et il est mort
He laid down his hammer and he died, Lord, Lord
Il a déposé son marteau et il est mort, Seigneur, Seigneur
He laid down his hammer and he died
Il a déposé son marteau et il est mort
Now John Henry had a little woman
Maintenant, John Henry avait une petite femme
Her name was Polly Ann
Elle s'appelait Polly Ann
John Henry took sick and had to go to bed
John Henry est tombé malade et a se coucher
And Polly Ann drove steel like a man, Lord, Lord
Et Polly Ann a forgé l'acier comme un homme, Seigneur, Seigneur
Polly Ann drove steel like a man
Polly Ann a forgé l'acier comme un homme
I said, Polly Ann drove steel like a
J'ai dit, Polly Ann a forgé l'acier comme un
Polly Ann drove steel like a man
Polly Ann a forgé l'acier comme un homme
Oh, every Monday morning
Oh, tous les lundis matin
When the bluebirds begin to sing
Quand les oiseaux bleus commencent à chanter
You can hear John Henry a mile or more
Tu peux entendre John Henry à un mille ou plus
You can hear John Henry's hammer ring
Tu peux entendre le marteau de John Henry sonner
You can hear John Henry's hammer
Tu peux entendre le marteau de John Henry
You can hear John Henry's hammer
Tu peux entendre le marteau de John Henry
You can hear John Henry's hammer ring
Tu peux entendre le marteau de John Henry sonner
You can hear John Henry's hammer
Tu peux entendre le marteau de John Henry
You can hear John Henry's hammer
Tu peux entendre le marteau de John Henry
You can hear John Henry's hammer
Tu peux entendre le marteau de John Henry
You can hear John Henry's hammer ring
Tu peux entendre le marteau de John Henry sonner
