Lyrics and translation The Devotions - Rip Van Winkle

Rip Van Winkle

Wowee, ha, ha, ha
A strike
Bom bom bom bom...
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Bom bom bom bom...
He fell asleep
In the woods one day
Spent twenty years
Of his life that way
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Sleep, sleep, sleep
That nagging wife
Gets all of his coin
None of his friends
Did he ever join
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Those little elves
Bowled on the green
Dream, would dream, dream
Oh, well, he left
His nagging wife now
He slept for twenty years
Didn′t bother to wake up
He grew a long white beard
This is how the story goes
Listen, my children
And you will hear
He fell asleep
In the woods one day
Spent twenty years
Of his life that way
Sleep, sleep, sleep
That nagging wife
Gets all of his coin
None of his friends
Did he ever join
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Doot doot doota do do
Bom bom bom bom...
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Slept his life away
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Slept his life away
Bom bom bom bom...

Rip Van Winkle

Wowee, ha, ha, ha
Un coup
Bom bom bom bom...
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Dors, dors, dors
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Dors, dors, dors
Bom bom bom bom...
Il s'est endormi
Dans les bois un jour
A passé vingt ans
De sa vie de cette façon
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Dors, dors, dors
Cette femme acariâtre
Prend tout son argent
Aucun de ses amis
Ne l'a jamais rejoint
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Dors, dors, dors
Ces petits lutins
Jouaient au bowling sur le vert
Rêve, rêver, rêver
Oh, eh bien, il est parti
De sa femme acariâtre maintenant
Il a dormi pendant vingt ans
Ne s'est pas donné la peine de se réveiller
Il s'est laissé pousser une longue barbe blanche
C'est comme ça que l'histoire se déroule
Écoute, mes enfants
Et tu entendras
Il s'est endormi
Dans les bois un jour
A passé vingt ans
De sa vie de cette façon
Dors, dors, dors
Cette femme acariâtre
Prend tout son argent
Aucun de ses amis
Ne l'a jamais rejoint
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Doot doot doota do do
Bom bom bom bom...
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Dors, dors, dors
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Dors, dors, dors
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
A dormi toute sa vie
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
A dormi toute sa vie
Bom bom bom bom...
