Lyrics and translation The Waterboys - Fisherman's Blues (Piano Version)
Well
I
wish
I
was
a
fisherman
J'aimerais
être
un
pêcheur
Tumblin'
on
the
seas
Qui
navigue
sur
les
mers
Far
away
from
dry
land
Loin
de
la
terre
ferme
Free
from
bitter
memories
Libéré
des
amers
souvenirs
Casting
out
my
sweet
line
Je
lance
ma
ligne
With
abandonment
and
love
Avec
abandon
et
amour
No
ceiling
bearin'
down
on
me
Aucun
plafond
ne
me
pèse
Save
the
starry
sky
above
Seul
le
ciel
étoilé
au-dessus
de
moi
With
light
in
my
head
Avec
la
lumière
dans
la
tête
You
in
my
arms
Et
toi
dans
mes
bras
Woo!
Woo!
Oh
and
I
wish
I
was
the
brakeman
Oh,
et
j'aimerais
être
le
freineur
On
a
hurtlin'
fevered
train
D'un
train
fougueux
et
fiévreux
Crashing
headlong
through
the
heartland
Qui
fonce
à
travers
le
cœur
du
pays
Like
a
cannon
in
the
rain
Comme
un
canon
sous
la
pluie
With
the
beating
of
the
sleepers
Avec
le
rythme
des
traverses
And
the
burnin'
of
the
coal
Et
la
chaleur
du
charbon
Counting
the
towns
flashing
by
Je
compte
les
villes
qui
défilent
In
a
night
that's
full
of
soul
Dans
une
nuit
pleine
d'âme
With
light
in
my
head
Avec
la
lumière
dans
la
tête
You
in
my
arms
Et
toi
dans
mes
bras
Woo!
Woo!
It's
a
double
length
fiddle
solo
C'est
un
solo
de
violon
de
double
longueur
Well
I
know
I
will
be
loosened
Je
sais
que
je
serai
libéré
From
the
bonds
that
hold
me
fast
Des
liens
qui
me
retiennent
That
the
chains
all
hung
around
me
Ces
chaînes
qui
m'entouraient
They
will
fall
away
at
last
Elles
finiront
par
tomber
And
on
that
fine
and
fateful
day
Et
en
ce
jour
fatidique
et
précieux
I
will
take
myself
in
hand
Je
prendrai
ma
vie
en
main
I
will
ride
on
the
train
Je
prendrai
le
train
And
I
will
meet
a
fisherman
Et
je
rencontrerai
un
pêcheur
With
light
in
my
head
Avec
la
lumière
dans
la
tête
You
in
my
arms
Et
toi
dans
mes
bras
Woo
Woo
Now
I
wish
I
was
a
fisherman
Maintenant,
j'aimerais
être
un
pêcheur
Tumblin'
on
the
seas
Qui
navigue
sur
les
mers
Far
away
from
dry
land
Loin
de
la
terre
ferme
And
bitter
memories
Et
des
amers
souvenirs
Casting

my
sweet
