Lyrics and translation The Weavers - Sixteen Tons (Live)




Sixteen Tons (Live)
Seize Tonnes (Live)
Some people say a man is made out of mud
Certains disent qu'un homme est fait de boue
A poor man′s made out of muscle and blood
Un pauvre homme est fait de muscle et de sang
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
Muscle et sang et peau et os
A mind that's a-weak and a back that′s strong
Un esprit faible et un dos fort
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Tu charges seize tonnes, qu'obtiens-tu ?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Un jour de plus et une dette plus lourde
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can′t go
Saint Pierre, ne m'appelle pas, car je ne peux pas y aller
I owe my soul to the company store
Je dois mon âme au magasin de l'entreprise
I was born one mornin′ when the sun didn't shine
Je suis un matin le soleil ne brillait pas
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
J'ai pris ma pelle et j'ai marché jusqu'à la mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
J'ai chargé seize tonnes de charbon numéro neuf
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"
Et le contremaître a dit "Eh bien, que Dieu me bénisse"
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Tu charges seize tonnes, qu'obtiens-tu ?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Un jour de plus et une dette plus lourde
Saint Peter don′t you call me 'cause I can′t go
Saint Pierre, ne m'appelle pas, car je ne peux pas y aller
I owe my soul to the company store
Je dois mon âme au magasin de l'entreprise
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin′ rain
Je suis un matin, il pleuvait
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
Les bagarres et les ennuis sont mon deuxième prénom
Raised in the Canebrake by an old mama lion
Élevé dans le Canebrake par une vieille lionne
Ain't no a high-toned woman make me walk the line
Aucune femme sophistiquée ne me fera marcher droit
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Tu charges seize tonnes, qu'obtiens-tu ?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Un jour de plus et une dette plus lourde
Saint Peter don′t you call me ′cause I can't go
Saint Pierre, ne m'appelle pas, car je ne peux pas y aller
I owe my soul to the company store
Je dois mon âme au magasin de l'entreprise
If you see me comin′, better step aside
Si tu me vois arriver, recule
A lot of men didn't, and a lot of men died
Beaucoup d'hommes ne l'ont pas fait, et beaucoup d'hommes sont morts
With one fist of iron, and the other of steel
Avec un poing de fer et l'autre d'acier
If the right one don′t get you then the left one will
Si le droit ne t'attrape pas, le gauche le fera
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Tu charges seize tonnes, qu'obtiens-tu ?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Un jour de plus et une dette plus lourde
Saint Peter don't you call me ′cause I can't go
Saint Pierre, ne m'appelle pas, car je ne peux pas y aller
I owe my soul to the company store
Je dois mon âme au magasin de l'entreprise
