Lyrics and translation Phil Coulter - The Rose of Tralee
The
pale
moon
was
rising
above
the
green
mountain,
La
lune
pâle
se
levait
au-dessus
de
la
montagne
verte,
The
sun
was
declining
beneath
the
blue
sea,
Le
soleil
déclinait
sous
la
mer
bleue,
When
I
strayed
with
my
love
to
the
pure
crystal
fountain,
Quand
je
me
suis
promené
avec
mon
amour
jusqu'à
la
source
de
cristal
pur,
That
stands
in
the
beautiful
vale
of
Tralee.
Qui
se
dresse
dans
la
belle
vallée
de
Tralee.
She
was
lovely
and
fair,
as
the
rose
of
the
summer,
Elle
était
belle
et
belle,
comme
la
rose
de
l'été,
Yet
t'was
not
her
beauty
alone
that
won
me.
Mais
ce
n'est
pas
sa
beauté
seule
qui
m'a
gagné.
Oh
no,
t'was
the
truth
in
her
eyes
ever
dawning,
Oh
non,
c'était
la
vérité
dans
ses
yeux
qui
se
levaient
toujours,
That
made
me
love
Mary,
the
Rose
of
Tralee!
Qui
m'a
fait
aimer
Mary,
la
Rose
de
Tralee !
The
cool
shades
of
evening
their
mantle
were
spreading,
Les
ombres
fraîches
du
soir
répandaient
leur
manteau,
And
Mary,
all
smiling,
was
listening
to
me,
Et
Mary,
toute
souriante,
m'écoutait,
The
moon
through
the
valley
her
pale
rays
was
shedding,
La
lune
à
travers
la
vallée
répandait
ses
pâles
rayons,
When
I
won
the
heart
of
the
Rose
of
Tralee.
Quand
j'ai
gagné
le
cœur
de
la
Rose
de
Tralee.
Though
lovely
and
fair,
as
the
rose
of
the
summer,
Bien
qu'elle
soit
belle
et
belle,
comme
la
rose
de
l'été,
Yet
t'was
not
her
beauty
alone
that
won
me.
Mais
ce
n'est
pas
sa
beauté
seule
qui
m'a
gagné.
Oh
no,
t'was
the
truth
in
her
eyes
ever
dawning,
Oh
non,
c'était
la
vérité
dans
ses
yeux
qui
se
levaient
toujours,
That
made
me
love
Mary,
the
Rose
of
Tralee!
Qui
m'a
fait
aimer
Mary,
la
Rose
de
Tralee !
