Lyrics and translation The Boswell Sisters - Roll On Mississippi, Roll On
Hear
that
whistle,
there
goes
the
bell
Entends
ce
sifflet,
voilà
la
cloche
That
means
we're
on
our
way
Cela
veut
dire
que
nous
sommes
en
route
All
aboard
boy,
I'm
feeling
swell
Tout
le
monde
à
bord,
mon
chéri,
je
me
sens
bien
This
is
my
happy
day
C'est
mon
jour
de
bonheur
Paddle
wheel,
you're
mighty
mighty
slow
Roue
à
aubes,
tu
es
vraiment,
vraiment
lente
That's
why
I
keep
on
shoutin',
"Let
her
go!"
C'est
pourquoi
je
continue
de
crier
: "Laisse-la
aller
!"
Roll
on
you
Mississippi,
roll
on
Roule
sur
toi,
Mississippi,
roule
Come
on
you
lazy
steamer,
quit
your
stallin'
and
move
along!
Allez,
vieux
bateau
à
vapeur
paresseux,
arrête
de
te
traîner
et
avance
!
Clear
the
river,
here
we
come
Dégage
le
fleuve,
nous
arrivons
Watch
her
smoke
boy
Regarde
sa
fumée,
mon
chéri
Hear
that
engine
hummin',
lawdy!
Entends
ce
moteur
ronronner,
mon
Dieu
!
Take
a
look
at
that
shore
Regarde
cette
rive
With
the
folks
I
adore
Avec
les
gens
que
j'adore
There's
a
spot
'round
that
bend
Il
y
a
un
endroit
autour
de
ce
virage
That's
my
home,
my
journey's
end
C'est
mon
chez-moi,
la
fin
de
mon
voyage
Come
on
you
old
man
river,
come
on
Allez,
vieux
fleuve,
allez
Roll
on
you
Mississippi,
roll!
Roule
sur
toi,
Mississippi,
roule
!
New
Orleans,
hello!
La
Nouvelle-Orléans,
bonjour !
Bye-bye
New
Orleans!
Au
revoir,
la
Nouvelle-Orléans !
Get
along
Avance
Goin'
strong
Fort
Baton
Rouge
Baton
Rouge
Hold
on!
Accroche-toi !
Say
capt'n,
tell
me
Dis,
capitaine,
dis-moi
What's
the
next
big
town
we'll
see?
Quelle
est
la
prochaine
grande
ville
que
nous
verrons ?
I'm
so
excited
I'm
as
happy
as
can
be,
oh!
Je
suis
tellement
excitée,
je
suis
aussi
heureuse
que
possible,
oh !
Roll
on
you
Mississippi,

toi,
Mississippi,

Come
on,
you
lazy
steamer,
move
on!

river,
here
we
come!
Dégage
