Lyrics and translation The Kingston Trio - Ballad of the Thresher
Oh,
the
Thresher,
the
finest
atomic
ship
Oh,
le
Thresher,
le
plus
beau
navire
atomique
That
ever
dived
for
the
sea
Qui
ait
jamais
plongé
dans
la
mer
Each
man
on
board
was
a
volunteer
Chaque
homme
à
bord
était
un
volontaire
Was
there
′cause
he
chose
there
to
be
Il
était
là
parce
qu'il
avait
choisi
d'être
là
Every
man
jack
on
board
was
a
hero
Chaque
homme
à
bord
était
un
héros
Every
man
jack
on
board
there
was
brave
Chaque
homme
à
bord
était
courageux
Every
man
jack
on
board
was
a
hero
Chaque
homme
à
bord
était
un
héros
Each
man
risked
a
watery
grave
Chaque
homme
risquait
une
mort
aquatique
Oh,
their
wives
and
their
sweethearts
came
down
to
port
Oh,
leurs
femmes
et
leurs
amoureuses
sont
venues
au
port
Their
last
fond
goodbyes
there
to
say
Pour
dire
leurs
derniers
adieux
Each
tried
her
best
to
be
tearless
and
brave
Chacune
a
fait
de
son
mieux
pour
être
sans
larmes
et
courageuse
They
promised
to
meet
there
some
day
Elles
ont
promis
de
se
retrouver
un
jour
Every
man
jack
on
board
was
a
hero
Chaque
homme
à
bord
était
un
héros
Every
man
jack
on

Chaque

Each
man
risked
a
watery
grave
Chaque
homme
risquait
une
mort
aquatique
Then
"Dive",
said
the
Captain
and
we
held
our
breath
Puis
"Plonge",
a
dit
le
Capitaine
et
nous
avons
retenu
notre
souffle
A
sound
like
she'd
broken
in
two
Un
son
comme
si
elle
s'était
brisée
en
deux
That
was
the
last
we
ever
heard
of
her
C'était
la
dernière
fois
que
nous
avons
entendu
parler
d'elle
Last
word
we
had
of
her
crew
Le
dernier
mot
que
nous
avons
eu
de
son
équipage
Every
man
jack
on
board
was
a
hero
Chaque

à
bord
était

Every

jack
on

Oh,
the
Thresher,
yes,
now
her
reactor
is
still
Oh,
le
Thresher,
oui,
maintenant
son
réacteur
est
silencieux
But
very
good
company
she
keeps
Mais
elle
est
en
très
bonne
compagnie
