Lullaby Of London (The Janice Long Show) [November 1986] [Live]
Berceuse de Londres (The Janice Long Show) [Novembre 1986] [Live]
As I walked down by the riverside
Alors que je marchais au bord de la rivière,
One evening in the spring
Un soir de printemps,
I heard a song from days gone by
J'ai entendu une chanson d'antan,
Blown in on the great north wind
Portée par le grand vent du nord.
Though there is no corncrake's lonesome cry
Bien qu'il n'y ait plus le cri solitaire du râle des genêts,
Or sorrow and delight
Ni chagrin ni délice,
You can hear the cars and the shouts from bars
On peut entendre les voitures et les cris des bars,
And the laughter and the fights
Et les rires et les bagarres.
May the ghosts that cry from haunted graves
Puissent les fantômes qui pleurent des tombes hantées,
Never keep you from your sleep
Ne jamais t'empêcher de dormir,
May they all sleep tight, down in hell tonight
Puissent-ils tous dormir profondément, en enfer ce soir,
Or wherever they may be
Ou qu'ils soient.
As I walked on with a heavy heart
Alors que je continuais d'un cœur lourd,
Then a stone danced on the tide
Une pierre a dansé sur la marée,
And the song went on though the lights were gone
Et la chanson continuait, même si les lumières étaient éteintes,
And the north wind gently sighed
Et le vent du nord soupirait doucement.
And a gentle breeze searched through the trees
Et une douce brise cherchait à travers les arbres,
And kissed the riverside
Et embrassait le bord de la rivière,
So I pray now, child, that you sleep tonight
Alors je prie maintenant, ma chérie, que tu dormes bien ce soir,
When you hear this lullaby
Quand tu entendras cette berceuse.
May the wind that blows from the haunted graves
Puisse le vent qui souffle des tombes hantées,
Never bring you misery
Ne jamais t'apporter de malheur,
May the angels bright watch you tonight
Puissent les anges brillants te veiller ce soir,
And guide you while you sleep
Et te guider pendant ton sommeil.
