Lyrics and translation The Brothers Four - Goodnight, Irene
When
I
asked
your
mother
for
you
Quand
j'ai
demandé
à
ta
mère
pour
toi
She
told
me
you
were
too
young
Elle
m'a
dit
que
tu
étais
trop
jeune
Now
I
wish
I
had
never
even
seen
your
face
Maintenant,
je
regrette
d'avoir
jamais
vu
ton
visage
Or
heard
your
lying
tongue
Ou
entendu
ta
langue
menteuse
So
Saturday
night
I
got
married
Alors,
samedi
soir,
je
me
suis
marié
Me
and
my
wife
settled
down
Ma
femme
et
moi,
nous
nous
sommes
installés
Now
me
and
my
wife
are
parted
Maintenant,
ma
femme
et
moi
sommes
séparés
I'm
gonna
take
another
stroll
downtown
Je
vais
faire
un
autre
tour
en
ville
Irene
goodnight,
Irene
goodnight
Irène,
bonne
nuit,
Irène,
bonne
nuit
Goodnight
Irene,
goodnight
Irene
Bonne
nuit,
Irène,
bonne
nuit,
Irène
I'll
see
you
in
my
dream
Je
te
verrai
dans
mes
rêves
Sometimes
I
live
in
the
country
Parfois,
je
vis
à
la
campagne
Sometimes
I
live
in
town
Parfois,
je
vis
en
ville
Sometimes
I
have
a
great
notion
Parfois,
j'ai
une
grande
envie
To
jump
into
the
river
and
drown
De
sauter
dans
la
rivière
et
de
me
noyer
Oh,
stop
your
carousin',
stop
you
gamblin'
Oh,
arrête
tes
beuveries,
arrête
tes
jeux
d'argent
Stayin
out
late
at
night
Rester
dehors
tard
la
nuit
Go
home
to
your
wife
and
family
Rentre
chez
ta
femme
et
ta
famille
Sit
down
by
the
fireside,
bright
Assieds-toi
près
du
feu,
brillant
Irene
goodnight,
Irene
goodnight
Irène,
bonne
nuit,
Irène,
bonne
nuit
Goodnight
Irene,
goodnight
Irene
Bonne
nuit,
Irène,
bonne
nuit,
Irène
I'll
see
you
in
my
dream
Je
te
verrai
dans
mes
rêves
Goodnight
Irene,
goodnight
Irene
Bonne
nuit,
Irène,
bonne
nuit,
Irène
I'll
see
you
in
my
dreams...
Je
te
verrai
dans
mes
rêves...
