Lyrics and translation The Kingston Trio - Reuben James




Reuben James
Reuben James
Have you heard of the ship called the good Reuben James?
As-tu entendu parler du navire appelé le bon Reuben James ?
Run by hard fighting men both of honor and of fame.
Conduit par des hommes courageux, tous d'honneur et de renom.
She flew the Stars and Stripes of the land of the free,
Il arborait les étoiles et les rayures du pays de la liberté,
But tonight she′s in her grave at the bottom of the sea.
Mais ce soir, il repose dans sa tombe au fond de la mer.
Oh, tell me, what were their names,
Oh, dis-moi, quels étaient leurs noms,
Tell me, what were their names?
Dis-moi, quels étaient leurs noms ?
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James?
Avais-tu un ami sur le bon Reuben James ?
Oh, tell me, what were their names,
Oh, dis-moi, quels étaient leurs noms,
Tell me, what were their names?
Dis-moi, quels étaient leurs noms ?
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James?
Avais-tu un ami sur le bon Reuben James ?
One hundred men went down to their dark and watery graves.
Cent hommes sont descendus dans leurs tombes sombres et aquatiques.
When that good ship went down, only forty-four were saved.
Lorsque ce bon navire a coulé, seuls quarante-quatre ont été sauvés.
'Twas the last day of October they saved forty-four
C'était le dernier jour d'octobre, ils ont sauvé quarante-quatre
From the dark, icy water of that cold Iceland shore.
Des eaux sombres et glaciales de cette côte islandaise froide.
Oh, tell me, what were their names,
Oh, dis-moi, quels étaient leurs noms,
Tell me, what were their names?
Dis-moi, quels étaient leurs noms ?
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James?
Avais-tu un ami sur le bon Reuben James ?
It was there in the dark of that cold and watery night.
C'était là, dans l'obscurité de cette nuit froide et aquatique.
They watched for the U-boats and they waited for a fight.
Ils guettaient les U-boots et attendaient le combat.
Then a whine and a rock and a great explosion′s roar.
Puis un sifflement, un choc, et le rugissement d'une grande explosion.
They lay the Reuben James on that cold ocean floor.
Ils ont coulé le Reuben James au fond de cet océan froid.
Oh, tell me, what were their names,
Oh, dis-moi, quels étaient leurs noms,
Tell me, what were their names?
Dis-moi, quels étaient leurs noms ?
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James?
Avais-tu un ami sur le bon Reuben James ?
Many years have passed since those brave men are gone.
Beaucoup d'années se sont écoulées depuis que ces braves hommes sont partis.
Those cold, icy waters, they're still and they're calm.
Ces eaux froides et glaciales, elles sont calmes et silencieuses.
Many years have passed and still I wonder why
Beaucoup d'années se sont écoulées et je me demande toujours pourquoi
The worst of men must fight and the best of men must die!
Les pires des hommes doivent se battre et les meilleurs doivent mourir !
Oh, tell me, what were their names,
Oh, dis-moi, quels étaient leurs noms,
Tell me, what were their names?
Dis-moi, quels étaient leurs noms ?
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James?
Avais-tu un ami sur le bon Reuben James ?
