Lyrics and translation Pete Seeger - Oh, Had I a Golden Thread (Remastered)
Oh,
had
I
a
golden
thread
Oh,
si
j'avais
un
fil
d'or
And
a
needle
so
fine
Et
une
aiguille
si
fine
I
would
weave
a
magic
strand
Je
tisserais
un
fil
magique
Of
rainbow
design,
of
rainbow
design
D'arc-en-ciel,
d'arc-en-ciel
In
it
I'd
weave
the
bravery
J'y
tisserais
la
bravoure
Of
women
giving
birth
Des
femmes
qui
donnent
la
vie
And
in
it
I
would
weave
the
innocence
Et
j'y
tisserais
l'innocence
Of
children
of
all
the
earth,
children
of
all
the
earth
Des
enfants
de
toute
la
terre,
des
enfants
de
toute
la
terre
Show
my
brothers
and
sisters
my
rainbow
design
Montrerais
à
mes
frères
et
sœurs
mon
arc-en-ciel
I
would
bind
up
this
sorry
world
Je
lierais
ce
monde
malheureux
With
hand
and
my
heart
and
mind
Avec
ma
main,
mon
cœur
et
mon
esprit
Hand
and
heart
and
mind
Main,
cœur
et
esprit
Oh,
had
I
a
golden
thread
Oh,
si
j'avais
un
fil
d'or
And
a
needle
so
fine
Et
une
aiguille
si
fine
I
I
would
weave
a
magic
strand
Je
tisserais
un
fil
magique
Of
rainbow
design,
of
rainbow
design
D'arc-en-ciel,
d'arc-en-ciel
