Lyrics and translation The Kingston Trio - Long Black Veil




Long Black Veil
Long Black Veil
Ten years ago on a cold, dark night
Il y a dix ans, par une nuit froide et sombre
There was someone killed in the town hall light.
Quelqu'un a été tué à la lumière de la salle municipale.
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
Il y avait peu de gens sur les lieux, mais tous ont convenu
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me.
Que l'assassin qui a fui ressemblait beaucoup à moi.
Nobody knows. Nobody sees.
Personne ne sait. Personne ne voit.
Nobody knows but me.
Personne ne sait sauf moi.
The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
Le juge a dit : "Fils, quel est votre alibi ?
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die."
Si vous étiez ailleurs, vous n'aurez pas à mourir."
I spoke not a word though it meant my life
Je n'ai pas dit un mot, bien que cela ait signifié ma vie
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife.
Car j'avais été dans les bras de la femme de mon meilleur ami.
She walks these hills in a long black veil.
Elle se promène sur ces collines dans un long voile noir.
She visits my grave when the night winds wail.
Elle visite ma tombe quand le vent de la nuit hurle.
Nobody knows. Nobody sees.
Personne ne sait. Personne ne voit.
Nobody knows but me.
Personne ne sait sauf moi.
The scaffold was high, an eternity near.
L'échafaud était haut, une éternité proche.
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear.
Elle se tenait dans la foule et n'a pas versé une larme.
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
Mais parfois la nuit, quand le vent froid gémit
In a long black veil she cries o'er my bones.
Dans un long voile noir, elle pleure sur mes os.
She walks these hills in a long black veil.
Elle se promène sur ces collines dans un long voile noir.
She visits my grave when the night winds wail.
Elle visite ma tombe quand le vent de la nuit hurle.
Nobody knows. Nobody sees.
Personne ne sait. Personne ne voit.
Nobody knows but me.
Personne ne sait sauf moi.
Nobody knows but me.
Personne ne sait sauf moi.
