Lyrics and translation Pete Seeger - The Strange Death of John Doe
I'll
sing
you
a
song
and
it's
not
very
long
Je
vais
te
chanter
une
chanson,
et
elle
n'est
pas
très
longue
It's
about
a
young
man
who
never
did
wrong
Elle
parle
d'un
jeune
homme
qui
n'a
jamais
fait
de
mal
Suddenly
he
died
one
day
Il
est
mort
soudainement
un
jour
The
reason
why,
no
one
would
say
Personne
ne
voulait
dire
pourquoi
He
was
tall
and
long
and
his
arms
were
strong
Il
était
grand
et
long,
et
ses
bras
étaient
forts
And
this
is
the
strange
part
of
my
song
Et
c'est
la
partie
étrange
de
ma
chanson
He
was
always
well
from
foot
to
head
Il
était
toujours
bien
de
la
tête
aux
pieds
And
then
one
day
they
found
him
dead
Et
puis
un
jour,
ils
l'ont
trouvé
mort
They
found
him
dead
so
I've
been
told
Ils
l'ont
trouvé
mort,
c'est
ce
qu'on
m'a
dit
His
eyes
were
closed,
his
heart
was
cold
Ses
yeux
étaient
fermés,
son
cœur
était
froid
Only
one
clue
to
why
he
died
Un
seul
indice
sur
sa
mort
A
bayonet
sticking
in
his
side
Une
baïonnette
plantée
dans
son
flanc
