Roosevelt And Ira Lee - Night Of The Mossacin Remastered Version
Roosevelt et Ira Lee - Nuit du Mossacin - Version remasterisée
This is about two cats
C'est l'histoire de deux types
They're sitting down by a river in the swamps
Ils sont assis au bord d'une rivière dans les marais
They're sitting on a log
Ils sont assis sur une bûche
One of them is kind of a big fellow
L'un d'eux est un grand gaillard
And the other one is a little bit smaller and he's got a long-billed cap
Et l'autre est un peu plus petit, il a une casquette à long bec
And they're sitting there pondering on what they're gonna do for the night
Et ils sont là, à réfléchir à ce qu'ils vont faire de la nuit
And anything the big guy decides on the little guy's for
Et quoi que le grand décide, le petit le suivra
'Cause he digs him he's cool
Parce qu'il l'apprécie, il est cool
So it's called Roosevelt and Ira Lee
Alors ça s'appelle Roosevelt et Ira Lee
The river was dark and muddy
La rivière était sombre et boueuse
And the moon was on the rise
Et la lune montait
And all of the creatures in the swampland
Et toutes les créatures des marais
Had woke up to feed for the night
S'étaient réveillées pour se nourrir pendant la nuit
Roosevelt and Ira Lee were sitting there on a log
Roosevelt et Ira Lee étaient assis sur une bûche
Ira Lee turned to Roosevelt and said
Ira Lee se tourna vers Roosevelt et dit
I'd sure like to have a mess of bullfrog
J'aimerais bien avoir une bonne portion de grenouilles
He said yeah yeah lawd sure would taste good
Il a dit ouais ouais Seigneur, ça aurait bon goût
So they slipped on their rubber boots
Alors ils ont enfilé leurs bottes en caoutchouc
And walked down to the water edge
Et se sont dirigés vers le bord de l'eau
And right away they knew that the night would be a bummer
Et tout de suite, ils ont compris que la nuit serait une catastrophe
'Cause Ira Lee stepped on a water moccasin ugh ugh lawd
Car Ira Lee a marché sur un serpent à sonnettes, ouais ouais Seigneur
Somebody help me
Quelqu'un à l'aide
Ira Lee turned to Roosevelt when he quit his screaming and kicking
Ira Lee se tourna vers Roosevelt quand il arrêta de crier et de donner des coups de pied
And he said let's forget about those bullfrog legs
Et il a dit, oublions ces pattes de grenouille
And go out and steal us some chickens
Et allons voler des poulets
And Old Roosevelt said like this now
Et le vieux Roosevelt a dit comme ça
Yeah yeah ooh it sure would taste good
Ouais ouais oh, ça aurait vraiment bon goût
Yes it would I love my chicken
Oui, j'adore le poulet
The river was dark and muddy
La rivière était sombre et boueuse
Yeah
Ouais
