The Old Settler's Song (Remastered)
La Chanson du Vieux Pionnier (Remasterisé)
I′ve traveled all over this country
J'ai voyagé partout dans ce pays
Prospectin' and diggin′ for gold.
À la recherche d'or et à l'extraction.
I've tunneled, hydraulic-ed, and cradled,
J'ai creusé des tunnels, utilisé des canons à eau et bercé,
And I have been frequently sold.
Et j'ai été vendu à maintes reprises.
And I have been frequently so-o-old,
Et j'ai été vendu à maintes reprises, oui,
And I have been frequently sold.
Et j'ai été vendu à maintes reprises.
I've tunneled, hydraulic-ed, and cradled,
J'ai creusé des tunnels, utilisé des canons à eau et bercé,
And I have been frequently sold.
Et j'ai été vendu à maintes reprises.
For each man who got rich by mining,
Pour chaque homme qui s'est enrichi en exploitant des mines,
Perceiving that hundreds grew poor,
On pouvait voir que des centaines ont sombré dans la pauvreté,
I made up my mind to try farming:
J'ai décidé d'essayer l'agriculture :
The only pursuit that was sure.
La seule activité qui était sûre.
So rollin′ my grub in my blanket
Alors, enveloppant ma nourriture dans ma couverture,
I left all my tools on the ground.
J'ai laissé tous mes outils au sol.
I started one mornin′ to shag it
J'ai commencé un matin à me déplacer
For the country they call Puget Sound.
Vers la région qu'on appelle Puget Sound.
For the country they call Puget So-o-ound,
Vers la région qu'on appelle Puget So-o-ound,
For the country they call Puget Sound.
Vers la région qu'on appelle Puget Sound.
I started one mornin' to shag it
J'ai commencé un matin à me déplacer
For the country they call Puget Sound.
Vers la région qu'on appelle Puget Sound.
Arriving flat broke in midwinter,
Arrivé fauché en plein hiver,
I found it enveloped with fog
Je l'ai trouvé enveloppé de brouillard
And covered all over with timber,
Et recouvert de bois partout,
Thick as hair on the back of a dog.
Épais comme les poils sur le dos d'un chien.
As I looked at the prospects so gloomy,
Alors que je regardais les perspectives si sombres,
The tears trickled over my face
Les larmes coulaient sur mon visage
And I thought that my travels had brought me
Et je pensais que mes voyages m'avaient amené
To the end of the jumpin′ off place.
Au bord du précipice.
To the end of the jumpin' off pla-a-ace,
Au bord du précipice, oui,
To the end of the jumpin′ off place.
Au bord du précipice.
I thought that my travels had brought me
Je pensais que mes voyages m'avaient amené
To the end of the jumpin' off place.
Au bord du précipice.
But now as I look all around me,
Mais maintenant, en regardant autour de moi,
Observing the world and its shells,
En observant le monde et ses coquillages,
I think of my happy condition,
Je pense à ma situation heureuse,
Surrounded by acres of clams.
Entouré d'acres de palourdes.
Surrounded by acres of cla-a-ams,
Entouré d'acres de palourdes, oui,
Surrounded by acres of clams.
Entouré d'acres de palourdes.
I think of my happy condition,
Je pense à ma situation heureuse,
Surrounded by acres of clams.
Entouré d'acres de palourdes.
Surrounded by acres of clams,
Entouré d'acres de palourdes,
By acres of clams.
D'acres de palourdes.
