Custer's Blues - The Waterboystranslation in French




Custer's Blues
Le Blues de Custer
Well you look just like General Custer
Eh bien, tu ressembles à Général Custer
on the day of his last stand
Le jour de sa dernière bataille
Heading up into the black hills
En direction des Black Hills
glorious and grand
Glorieux et grandiose
I saw it by your side
J'ai vu ça à tes côtés
a map in your hand
Une carte dans ta main
Heading up into the rain
En direction de la pluie
singing "This land is your land"
En chantant "Cette terre est à toi"
Now I've seen your dust a-rising
Maintenant, j'ai vu ta poussière monter
and I've seen your numbers swell
Et j'ai vu ton nombre augmenter
I've seen you crossing the badlands
Je t'ai vu traverser les Badlands
and I've heard your captains yell
Et j'ai entendu tes capitaines crier
I've watched you when you're sleeping
Je t'ai observé quand tu dormais
I've seen you filling up your can
Je t'ai vu remplir ton bidon
Thinking as you work
Pensant pendant que tu travailles
that this land is your land
Que cette terre est à toi
But now you're bursting into my country
Mais maintenant, tu t'infiltres dans mon pays
you're messing up my fields
Tu gâches mes champs
You're playing games with my holy places
Tu joues avec mes lieux saints
you're tearing the earth with your wheels
Tu déchires la terre avec tes roues
Right now your star is ascending
En ce moment, ton étoile monte
and your head is bursting with pride
Et ta tête déborde d'orgueil
But I wonder if Custer was still singing
Mais je me demande si Custer chantait toujours
"This land is my land‿ when he died
"Cette terre est à moi" quand il est mort
Was he still singing "this is my land‿ when he died
Chantait-il toujours "c'est ma terre" quand il est mort
was he singing that it's my land when he died
Chantait-il que c'est ma terre quand il est mort
Was he singing when he died
Chantait-il quand il est mort
was he singing when he died
Chantait-il quand il est mort
Was he singing it's my land when he died
Chantait-il que c'est ma terre quand il est mort
when he died...
Quand il est mort...
Was he singing when he died
Chantait-il quand il est mort
