Lyrics and translation Sarah Vaughan - The Green Leaves of Summer
A
time
to
be
reapin',
a
time
to
be
sowin'.
Le
temps
des
récoltes,
le
temps
des
semailles.
The
green
leaves
of
Summer
are
callin'
me
home.
Les
feuilles
vertes
de
l'été
m'appellent
chez
moi.
'Twas
so
good
to
be
young
then,
in
a
season
of
plenty,
C'était
si
bon
d'être
jeune
alors,
dans
une
saison
d'abondance,
When
the
catfish
were
jumpin'
as
high
as
the
sky.
Quand
les
poissons-chats
sautaient
aussi
haut
que
le
ciel.
A
time
just
for
plantin',
a
time
just
for
ploughin'.
Le
temps
de
planter,
le
temps
de
labourer.
A
time
to
be
courtin'
a
girl
of
your
own.
Le
temps
de
courtiser
une
fille
comme
toi.
'Twas
so
good
to
be
young
then,
to
be
close
to
the
earth,
C'était
si
bon
d'être
jeune
alors,
d'être
proche
de
la
terre,
And
to
stand
by
your
wife
at
the
moment
of
birth.
Et
de
rester
aux
côtés
de
ma
femme
au
moment
de
la
naissance.
A
time
to
be
reapin',
a
time
to
be
sowin'.
Le
temps
des
récoltes,
le
temps
des
semailles.
The
green
leaves
of
Summer
are
callin'
me
home.
Les
feuilles
vertes
de
l'été
m'appellent
chez
moi.
'Twas
so
good
to
be
young
then,
with
the
sweet
smell
of
apples,
C'était
si
bon
d'être
jeune
alors,
avec
la
douce
odeur
des
pommes,
And
the
owl
in
the
pine
tree
a-winkin'
his
eye.
Et
le
hibou
dans
le
pin
qui
clignait
de
l'œil.
A
time
just
for
plantin',
a
time
just
for
ploughin'.
Le
temps
de
planter,
le
temps
de
labourer.
A
time
just
for
livin',
a
place
for
to
die.
Le
temps
de
vivre,
un
endroit
pour
mourir.
'Twas
so
good
to
be
young
then,
to
be
close
to
the
earth,
C'était
si
bon
d'être
jeune
alors,
d'être
proche
de
la
terre,
Now
the
green
leaves
of
Summer
are
callin'
me
home.
Maintenant,
les
feuilles
vertes
de
l'été
m'appellent
chez
moi.
'Twas
so
good
to
be
young
then,
to
be
close
to
the
earth,
C'était
si
bon
d'être
jeune
alors,
d'être
proche
de
la
terre,
Now
the
green
leaves
of
Summer
are
callin'
me
home.
Maintenant,
les
feuilles
vertes
de
l'été
m'appellent
chez
moi.
