Lyrics and translation The Kingston Trio - Mark Twain




Mark Twain
Mark Twain
My granddad used to tell me, "Boy, when I was just your age, I was a river pilot on a showboat called The Stage.
Mon grand-père me racontait : "Mon garçon, quand j'avais ton âge, j'étais pilote fluvial sur un bateau de spectacle appelé The Stage.
I′d hobnob with them southern belles and ev'ry roustabout. I′d listen to them paddle wheels and hear the leadsman shout!
Je me frottais aux belles du Sud et à tous les dockers. J'écoutais les roues à aubes et les cris du sondeur !
Chorus:
Refrain :
Mark Twain, it's two fathoms deep below. Mark Twain, heave the gang plank. Start the show.
Mark Twain, c'est deux brasses de profondeur en dessous. Mark Twain, hisse la passerelle. Que le spectacle commence.
Mark Twain, play those banjos as we go down the Mississippi, 'round the Gulf of Mexico.
Mark Twain, fais jouer ces banjos alors que nous descendons le Mississippi, autour du Golfe du Mexique.
There were gamblers, crooks and fakers and a minstrel man who′d dance. A singin′ gal, Simone Lamour, imported straight from France.
Il y avait des joueurs, des escrocs et des imposteurs, et un ménestrel qui dansait. Une chanteuse, Simone Lamour, importée directement de France.
It was a floatin' palace, boy, that showboat called The Stage, and granddad was the king of it when he was just my age."
C'était un palais flottant, mon garçon, ce bateau de spectacle appelé The Stage, et grand-père en était le roi quand il avait mon âge."
(Chorus)
(Refrain)
The calliope is quiet now. The rudder′s thick with rust. The main deck and the paddle wheels are covered high with dust.
Le carillon est silencieux maintenant. Le gouvernail est recouvert de rouille. Le pont principal et les roues à aubes sont recouverts de poussière.
But granddad's in his glory, still standin′ on the bow. A halo 'round his pilot′s cap and I can hear him now.
Mais grand-père est dans sa gloire, toujours debout sur la proue. Un halo autour de son chapeau de pilote, et je peux l'entendre maintenant.
(Chorus)
(Refrain)
