The Old Settler's Song - The Brothers Fourtranslation in French




The Old Settler's Song
La Chanson du Vieux Colon
I've traveled all over this country
J'ai parcouru tout ce pays,
Prospectin' and diggin' for gold.
Cherchant et creusant de l'or.
I've tunneled, hydraulic-ed, and cradled,
J'ai creusé des tunnels, utilisé l'hydraulique, et bercé,
And I have been frequently sold.
Et j'ai été fréquemment roulé.
And I have been frequently so-o-old,
Et j'ai été fréquemment roulé-é-é,
And I have been frequently sold.
Et j'ai été fréquemment roulé.
I've tunneled, hydraulic-ed, and cradled,
J'ai creusé des tunnels, utilisé l'hydraulique, et bercé,
and I have been frequently sold.
Et j'ai été fréquemment roulé.
For each man who got rich by mining,
Pour chaque homme qui s'est enrichi en exploitant les mines,
Perceiving that hundreds grew poor,
Voyant que des centaines s'appauvrissaient,
I made up my mind to try farming:
J'ai décidé de me mettre à l'agriculture :
The only pursuit that was sure.
La seule activité qui était sûre.
So rollin' my grub in my blanket
Alors, roulant mon barda dans ma couverture,
I left all my tools on the ground.
J'ai laissé tous mes outils sur le sol.
I started one mornin' to shag it
Je suis parti un matin pour me traîner
For the country they call Puget Sound.
Vers le pays qu'ils appellent le Puget Sound.
For the country they call Puget So-o-ound,
Vers le pays qu'ils appellent le Puget Sou-ou-und,
For the country they call Puget Sound.
Vers le pays qu'ils appellent le Puget Sound.
I started one mornin' to shag it
Je suis parti un matin pour me traîner
For the country they call Puget Sound.
Vers le pays qu'ils appellent le 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 couvert de bois,
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 ces perspectives si sombres,
The tears trickled over my face
Les larmes ont coulé sur mon visage
And I thought that my travels had brought me
Et j'ai pensé que mes voyages m'avaient mené
To the end of the jumpin' off place.
Au bout du monde.
To the end of the jumpin' off pla-a-ace,
Au bout du mo-o-onde,
To the end of the jumpin' off place.
Au bout du monde.
I thought that my travels had brought me
J'ai pensé que mes voyages m'avaient mené
To the end of the jumpin' off place.
Au bout du monde.
But now as I look all around me,
Mais maintenant, alors que je regarde autour de moi,
Observing the world and its shells,
Observant le monde et ses coquillages,
I think of my happy condition,
Je pense à ma joyeuse situation,
Surrounded by acres of clams.
Entouré d'hectares de palourdes.
Surrounded by acres of cla-a-ams,
Entouré d'hectares de palour-r-des,
Surrounded by acres of clams.
Entouré d'hectares de palourdes.
I think of my happy condition,
Je pense à ma joyeuse situation,
Surrounded by acres of clams.
Entouré d'hectares de palourdes.
Surrounded by acres of clams,
Entouré d'hectares de palourdes,
By acres of clams.
D'hectares de palourdes.
