Billy the Kid - Woody Guthrietranslation in French




Billy the Kid
Billy le Kid
I′ll sing you a true song of Billy the Kid
Je vais te chanter une chanson vraie sur Billy le Kid
I'll sing of the desperate deeds that he did
Je vais chanter des actes désespérés qu'il a faits
Way out in New Mexico, long long ago
Là-bas, au Nouveau-Mexique, il y a longtemps
When a man′s only chance was his own 44
Quand le seul espoir d'un homme était son propre 44
When Billy, the kid was a very young lad
Quand Billy, le Kid était un très jeune garçon
In the old Silver City, he went to the bad
Dans la vieille ville d'argent, il est allé vers le mal
Way out in the West with a gun in his hand
Là-bas, à l'Ouest, avec un pistolet dans la main
At the age of twelve years, he first killed his man
À l'âge de douze ans, il a tué son premier homme
Fair Mexican maidens play guitars and sing
De jolies jeunes femmes mexicaines jouent de la guitare et chantent
A song about Billy, the boy bandit king
Une chanson sur Billy, le jeune roi bandit
How ere his young manhood had reached its sad end
Avant que sa jeunesse n'ait atteint sa fin triste
He'd a notch on his pistol for twenty-one men
Il avait une encoche sur son pistolet pour vingt et un hommes
'Twas on the same night when poor Billy died
C'est la même nuit que le pauvre Billy est mort
He said to his friends, "I am not satisfied
Il a dit à ses amis : "Je ne suis pas satisfait
There are twenty-one men I have put bullets through
Il y a vingt et un hommes que j'ai abattus
And sheriff Pat Garrett must make twenty-two"
Et le shérif Pat Garrett doit faire vingt-deux"
Now this is how Billy, the kid met his fate
Alors voilà comment Billy, le Kid, a rencontré son sort
The bright moon was shining, the hour was late
La lune brillante brillait, l'heure était tardive
Shot down by Pat Garrett who once was his friend
Abattu par Pat Garrett qui était autrefois son ami
The young outlaw′s life had now come to its end
La vie du jeune hors-la-loi avait maintenant atteint sa fin
There′s many a man with a face fine and fair
Il y a beaucoup d'hommes avec un visage beau et juste
Who starts out in life with a chance to be square
Qui commencent la vie avec une chance d'être honnêtes
But just like poor Billy, he wanders astray
Mais comme le pauvre Billy, il s'égare
And loses his life in the very same way
Et perd sa vie de la même manière
