Lyrics and translation The Carter Family with special guest Johnny Cash - Gathering Flowers From the Hillside
I've
been
gathering
flowers
from
the
hillside
J'ai
cueilli
des
fleurs
sur
la
colline
To
wreath
around
your
brow
Pour
t'en
faire
une
couronne
But
you've
kept
me
a-waitin'
so
long,
dear
Mais
tu
me
fais
attendre
si
longtemps,
ma
chérie
The
flowers
have
all
withered
now
Les
fleurs
sont
maintenant
toutes
fanées
t
was
on
one
bright
June
morning
C'était
un
beau
matin
de
juin
The
roses
were
in
bloom
Les
roses
étaient
en
fleurs
I
shot
and
killed
my
darling
J'ai
tué
mon
amour
d'un
coup
de
feu
And
what
will
be
my
doom?
Et
quel
sera
mon
destin
?

trouble

jamais
la
tête
