Lyrics and translation Vernon Dalhart - Wreck of the Old 97




Wreck of the Old 97
Le naufrage du vieux 97
They gave him his orders
Ils lui ont donné ses ordres
At Monroe, Virginia
À Monroe, Virginie
Sayin' Pete you're way behind time
En disant, Pete, tu es en retard
This is not '38, but its old '97
Ce n'est pas '38, mais c'est le vieux '97
You must put her into Spencer on time
Tu dois l'amener à Spencer à l'heure
He looked round an' said
Il a regardé autour de lui et a dit
To his black, greasy fireman
À son chauffeur noir et graisseux
Jus' shove on in a lil' more coal
Juste un peu plus de charbon
And when we cross that wide old mountain
Et quand on traversera cette grande montagne
You can watch old '97 roll
Tu pourras regarder le vieux '97 rouler
It's a mighty rough road
C'est un chemin terriblement difficile
From Lynchburg to Danville
De Lynchburg à Danville
In a line on a three mile grade
Sur une pente de trois miles
It was on that grade
C'est sur cette pente
That he lost his airbrake
Qu'il a perdu son frein à air
And you see what a jump he made
Et tu vois quel bond il a fait
He was goin' down the grade
Il descendait la pente
Makin' ninety miles an hour
À 90 miles à l'heure
When his whistle broke into a scream
Quand son sifflet s'est mis à hurler
He was found in the wreck
On l'a retrouvé dans l'épave
With his hand on the throttle
Avec sa main sur la manette des gaz
And a scalded to death by the steam
Et brûlé à mort par la vapeur
Now ladies you must take warnin'
Maintenant, mesdames, vous devez prendre garde
From this time now and on
À partir de maintenant
Never speak harsh words
Ne dites jamais de mots durs
To your true love and husband
À votre véritable amour et mari
He may leave you and never return
Il pourrait vous quitter et ne jamais revenir
