Lyrics and translation The Kingston Trio - River Run Down

River Run Down

Oh, the river run down but the stream ran dry
Big strong man don′t ever cry
Just stands to watch his love go by
Oh, the river ran down but the stream ran dry
Yes, he loved a woman but he let her get away
Didn't ever think he′d regret that day
The laugh and the smile, he'd still play the game
But he knew that day would never by the same
Oh, the river run down but the stream ran dry
Big strong man don't ever cry
Just stands to watch his love go by
Oh, the river ran down but the stream ran dry
There walks a man, he could′ve had a home
Fine baby children, a woman of his own
He walks all alone, he doesn′t have a care
But he keeps on thinking that he sees her everywhere
Oh, the river run down but the stream ran dry
Big strong man don't ever cry
Just stands to watch his love go by
Oh, the river ran down but the stream ran dry

La rivière coule

Oh, la rivière coule mais le ruisseau s'est asséché
Grand homme fort ne pleure jamais
Se contente de regarder son amour passer
Oh, la rivière coule mais le ruisseau s'est asséché
Oui, il aimait une femme mais il l'a laissée partir
N'a jamais pensé qu'il le regretterait un jour
Le rire et le sourire, il continuerait à jouer le jeu
Mais il savait que ce jour ne serait plus jamais le même
Oh, la rivière coule mais le ruisseau s'est asséché
Grand homme fort ne pleure jamais
Se contente de regarder son amour passer
Oh, la rivière coule mais le ruisseau s'est asséché
Il y a un homme qui marche, il aurait pu avoir un foyer
De beaux enfants, une femme à lui
Il marche tout seul, il n'a pas de soucis
Mais il continue de penser qu'il la voit partout
Oh, la rivière coule mais le ruisseau s'est asséché
Grand homme fort ne pleure jamais
Se contente de regarder son amour passer
Oh, la rivière coule mais le ruisseau s'est asséché
