Lyrics and translation Ramblin’ Jack Elliott - Cool Water
All
day
I've
faced
the
barren
waste,
Toute
la
journée,
j'ai
affronté
le
désert
aride,
Without
the
taste
of
water:
Sans
goûter
à
l'eau :
Cool
water.
(Water.)
Eau
fraîche.
(Eau.)
Old
Dan
and
I,
with
throats
burned
dry,
Old
Dan
et
moi,
avec
la
gorge
brûlée,
An'
souls
that
cry
for
water:
(Water.)
Et
des
âmes
qui
crient
après
l'eau :
(Eau.)
Cool,
(Water.)
Fraîche,
(Eau.)
Clear,
(Water.)
Claire,
(Eau.)
Water.
(Water.)
Eau.
(Eau.)
Keep
a-movin,
Dan,
Continue
d'avancer,
Dan,
Don't
you
listen
to
him,
Dan,
Ne
l'écoute
pas,
Dan,
He's
the
devil,
not
a
man:
C'est
le
diable,
pas
un
homme :
Spreads
the
burning
sand
with
water.
(Water.)
Il
répand
du
sable
brûlant
avec
de
l'eau.
(Eau.)
Dan,
can
you
see
that
big,
green
tree,
(Water.)
Dan,
tu
vois
ce
grand
arbre
vert,
(Eau.)
Where
the
water's
runnin'
free?
(Water.)
Où
l'eau
coule
librement ?
(Eau.)
It's
waitin'
there
for
me
and
you?
(Water.)
Il
nous
attend,
toi
et
moi ?
(Eau.)
The
nights
are
cool,
I'm
a
fool.
Les
nuits
sont
fraîches,
je
suis
un
fou.
Each
star's
a
pool
of
water.
Chaque
étoile
est
une
flaque
d'eau.
Cool
water.
(Water.)
Eau
fraîche.
(Eau.)
But
with
the
dawn
I'll
wake
and
yawn,
Mais
au
lever
du
jour,
je
me
réveillerai
et
bâillerai,
And
carry
on
to
water.
(Water.)
Et
continuerai
vers
l'eau.
(Eau.)
Water,
(Water.)
Eau,
(Eau.)
Water,
(Water.)
Eau,
(Eau.)
Water,
(Water.)
Eau,
(Eau.)
Keep
a-movin,
Dan,
Continue
d'avancer,
Dan,
Don't
you
listen
to
him,
Dan,
Ne
l'écoute
pas,
Dan,
He's
the

C'est

du

brûlant
avec
de
l'eau.
