Lyrics and translation The Beach Boys - Cotton Fields (The Cotton Song) (Single Version / 2001 Stereo Mix)
When
I
was
a
little
bitty
baby
Quand
j'étais
un
tout
petit
bébé
My
mama
done
rock
me
in
the
cradle
Ma
maman
me
berçait
dans
le
berceau
In
them
old
cotton
fields
back
home
Dans
ces
vieux
champs
de
coton
de
chez
nous
It
was
back
in
Louisiana
C'était
en
Louisiane
Just
about
a
mile
from
Texarkana
À
environ
un
mile
de
Texarkana
In
them
old
cotton
fields
back
home
Dans
ces
vieux
champs
de
coton
de
chez
nous
Let
me
tell
you
now
well
got
me
in
a
fix
Laisse-moi
te
dire
que
j'ai
vraiment
des
soucis
I
caught
a
nail
in
my
tire
doing
lickitey
splits
J'ai
ramassé
un
clou
dans
mon
pneu
en
faisant
des
figures
I
had
to
walk
a
long
long
way
to
town
J'ai
dû
marcher
très
longtemps
jusqu'à
la
ville
Came
upon
a
nice
old
man
well
he
had
a
hat
on
J'ai
rencontré
un
vieux
monsieur
sympa,
il
portait
un
chapeau
Wait
a
minute
mister
can
you
give
me
some
directions
Attends
une
minute
monsieur,
peux-tu
me
donner
des
indications
?
I
gonna
want
to
be
right
off
for
home
Je
veux
rentrer
chez
moi
tout
de
suite
Don't
care
if
them
cotton
balls
get
rotten
Je
m'en
fiche
si
les
boules
de
coton
pourrissent
When
I
got
you
baby,
who
needs
cotton
Quand
je
t'ai
toi,
mon
amour,
qui
a
besoin
de
coton
?
In
them
old
cotton
fields
back
home
Dans
ces
vieux
champs
de
coton
de
chez
nous
Brother
only
one
thing
more
that's
gonna
warm
you
Frère,
il
n'y
a
qu'une
seule
chose
de
plus
qui
te
réchauffera
A
summer's
day
out
in
California
Une
journée
d'été
en
Californie
It's
gonna
be
those
cotton
fields
back
home
Ce
seront
ces
champs
de
coton
de
chez
nous
It
was
back
in
Louisiana
C'était
en
Louisiane
Just
about
a
mile
from
Texarkana
À
environ
un
mile
de
Texarkana
Give
me
them
cotton
fields
Donne-moi
ces
champs
de
coton
(It
was
back
in
Louisiana)
(C'était
en
Louisiane)
Let
me
hear
it
for
the
cotton
fields
Laisse-moi
entendre
les
champs
de
coton
(Just
about
a
mile
from
Texarkana)
(À
environ
un
mile
de
Texarkana)
You
know
that
there's
just
no
place
like
home
Tu
sais
qu'il
n'y
a
pas
de
meilleur
endroit
que
chez
soi
Well
boy
it
sure
feels
good
to
breathe
the
air
back
home
Eh
bien,
mon
garçon,
ça
fait
vraiment
du
bien
de
respirer
l'air
d'ici
You
shoulda
seen
their
faces
when
they
seen
how
I
grown
Tu
aurais
dû
voir
leurs
visages
quand
ils
ont
vu
comme
j'ai
grandi
In
them
old
cotton
fields
back
home
Dans
ces
vieux
champs
de
coton
de
chez
nous
