Lyrics and translation Robbie Fulks - When I See an Elephant Fly
I
seen
a
peanut
stand,
heard
a
rubber
band
J'ai
vu
un
stand
de
cacahuètes,
j'ai
entendu
un
élastique
I
seen
a
needle
that
winked
its
eye
J'ai
vu
une
aiguille
qui
clignait
des
yeux
But
I
be
done
seen
about
everything
Mais
j'ai
tout
vu
When
I
see
an
elephant
fly
Quand
je
vois
un
éléphant
voler
(What'd
you
say,
boy?)
(Quoi,
mon
chéri?)
I
said,
when
I
see
an
elephant
fly
J'ai
dit,
quand
je
vois
un
éléphant
voler
I
seen
a
front
porch
swing,
heard
a
diamond
ring
J'ai
vu
une
balançoire
sur
le
porche,
j'ai
entendu
une
bague
en
diamant
I
seen
a
polka-dot
railroad
tie
J'ai
vu
une
cravate
de
chemin
de
fer
à
pois
But
I
be
done
seen
about
everything
Mais
j'ai
tout
vu
When
I
see
an
elephant
fly
Quand
je
vois
un
éléphant
voler
I
saw
a
clothes
horse
rear
up
and
buck
J'ai
vu
un
chevalet
à
vêtements
se
cabrer
et
s'emballer
And
they
tell
me
that
a
man
made
a
vegetable
truck
Et
ils
me
disent
qu'un
homme
a
fait
un
camion
à
légumes
I
didn't
see
that,
I
only
heard
Je
n'ai
pas
vu
ça,
j'ai
juste
entendu
dire
Just
to
be
sociable,
I'll
take
your
word
Pour
être
sociable,
je
vais
te
croire
I
heard
a
fireside
chat,
I
saw
a
baseball
bat
J'ai
entendu
une
conversation
au
coin
du
feu,
j'ai
vu
une
batte
de
baseball
And
I
just
laughed
till
I
thought
I'd
die
Et
j'ai
ri
jusqu'à
en
mourir
But
I
be
done
seen
about
everything
Mais
j'ai
tout
vu
When
I
see
an
elephant
fly
Quand
je
vois
un
éléphant
voler
But
I
be
done
seen
about
everything
Mais
j'ai
tout
vu
When
I
see
an
elephant
fly
Quand
je
vois
un
éléphant
voler
When
I
see
an
elephant
fly
Quand
je
vois
un
éléphant
voler
