Lyrics and translation Woody Guthrie - Grand Coulee Dam (Remastered)




Grand Coulee Dam (Remastered)
Grand Coulee Dam (Remasterisé)
Well, the world has seven wonders that the trav′lers always tell,
Eh bien, le monde a sept merveilles que les voyageurs racontent toujours,
Some gardens and some towers, I guess you know them well,
Des jardins et des tours, je suppose que tu les connais bien,
But now the greatest wonder is in Uncle Sam's fair lang,
Mais maintenant la plus grande merveille est dans le beau pays d'Oncle Sam,
It′s the big Columbia River and the big Grand Coulee Dam.
C'est la grande rivière Columbia et le grand barrage de Grand Coulee.
She heads up the Canadian Rockies where the rippling waters glide,
Elle prend sa source dans les Rocheuses canadiennes les eaux onduleuses glissent,
Comes a-roaring down the canyon to meet the salty tide,
Elle arrive en rugissant dans le canyon pour rencontrer la marée salée,
Of the wide Pacific Ocean where the sun sets in the West
Du vaste océan Pacifique le soleil se couche à l'ouest
And the big Grand Coulee country in the land I love the best.
Et le grand pays de Grand Coulee dans la terre que j'aime le plus.
In the misty crystal glitter of that wild and wind ward spray,
Dans le scintillement cristallin et brumeux de cette pulvérisation sauvage et venteuse,
Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave,
Les hommes ont combattu les eaux déchaînées et ont rencontré une mort aquatique,
Well, she tore their boats to splinters but she gave men dreams to dream
Eh bien, elle a déchiré leurs bateaux en éclats, mais elle a donné aux hommes des rêves à rêver
Of the day the Coulee Dam would cross that wild and wasted stream.
Du jour le barrage de Coulee traverserait ce courant sauvage et gaspillé.
Uncle Sam took up the challenge in the year of 'thrity-three,
Oncle Sam a relevé le défi en 1933,
For the farmer and the factory and all of you and me,
Pour le fermier, l'usine et nous tous,
He said, "Roll along, Columbia, you can ramble to the sea,
Il a dit : "Roule, Columbia, tu peux vagabonder jusqu'à la mer,
But river, while you're rambling, you can do some work for me."
Mais rivière, pendant que tu vagabondes, tu peux faire un peu de travail pour moi."
Now in Washington and Oregon you can hear the factories hum,
Maintenant, dans l'État de Washington et l'Oregon, on peut entendre les usines ronronner,
Making chrome and making manganese and light aluminum,
Fabriquer du chrome, du manganèse et de l'aluminium léger,
And there roars the flying fortress now to fight for Uncle Sam,
Et voilà que rugit la forteresse volante pour se battre pour Oncle Sam,
Spawned upon the King Columbia by the big Grand Coulee Dam.
Née sur le roi Columbia par le grand barrage de Grand Coulee.
