Lyrics and translation The Carter Family - You've Been A Friend To Me
My
bark
of
life
was
tossing
down
Mon
navire
de
la
vie
était
ballotté
The
troubled
stream
of
time
Sur
le
torrent
tumultueux
du
temps
Since
first
I
saw
your
smiling
face
Depuis
que
j'ai
vu
ton
visage
souriant
And
youth
was
in
its
prime
Et
que
la
jeunesse
était
à
son
apogée
Oh,
I'll
ne'er
forget
where
e'er
I
roam
Oh,
je
n'oublierai
jamais,
où
que
je
sois
Where
ever
you
may
be
Où
que
tu
sois
If
ever
I
have
had
a
friend
Si
jamais
j'ai
eu
un
ami
You've
been
that
friend
to
me
Tu
as
été
cet
ami
pour
moi
Misfortune
nursed
me
as
her
child
Le
malheur
m'a
nourri
comme
son
enfant
And
loved
me
fondly
too
Et
m'a
aimé
tendrement
I
would
have
had
a
broken
heart
J'aurais
eu
le
cœur
brisé
Had
it
not
been
for
you
S'il
n'y
avait
pas
eu
toi
Oh,
I'll
ne'er
forget
where
e'er
I
roam
Oh,
je
n'oublierai
jamais,
où
que
je
sois
Where
ever
you
may
be
Où
que
tu
sois
If
ever
I
have
had
a
friend
Si
jamais
j'ai
eu
un
ami
You've
been
that
friend
to
me
Tu
as
été
cet
ami
pour
moi
Oh,
now
I
look
back
upon
the
past
Oh,
maintenant
je
regarde
en
arrière
sur
le
passé
Across
life's
troubled
sea
Sur
la
mer
tumultueuse
de
la
vie
And
smile
to
think
in
all
I've
seen
Et
je
souris
en
pensant
qu'en
tout
ce
que
j'ai
vu
You've
been
a
friend
to
me
Tu
as
été
un
ami
pour
moi
Oh,
I'll
ne'er
forget
where
e'er
I
roam
Oh,
je
n'oublierai
jamais,
où
que
je
sois
Where
ever
you
may
be
Où
que
tu
sois
If
ever
I
have
had
a
friend
Si
jamais
j'ai
eu
un
ami
You've
been
that
friend
to
me
Tu
as
été
cet
ami
pour
moi
