So Long, It’s Been Good to Know You (WWII Version) - Woody Guthrietranslation in French
I
got
the
news
that
the
war
had
begun
J'ai
appris
que
la
guerre
avait
commencé
It
was
straight
for
the
Army
Hall
that
I
run
C'était
directement
pour
la
salle
de
l'armée
que
je
dirige
And
all
of
the
people
in
my
home
town
Et
tous
les
gens
de
ma
ville
natale
Was
a
running
up
and
a
running
down
Couraient
dans
tous
les
sens
So
long,
it's
been
good
to
know
you
Au
revoir,
c'était
bien
de
te
connaître
So
long,
it's
been
good
to
know
you
Au
revoir,
c'était
bien
de
te
connaître
So
long,

There's
a
mighty
big
war
that's
got
to
be
won
Il
y
a
une
grande
guerre
à
gagner
And
we'll
get
back
together
again.
Et
on
se
retrouvera.
The
crowd
was
packed
by
the
railroad
track
La
foule
était
massée
près
de
la
voie
ferrée
People
was
yelling
and
patting
my
back
Les
gens
criaient
et
me
tapaient
dans
le
dos
And
while
the
engineer
rung
his
bell
Et
pendant
que
le
mécanicien
faisait
sonner
sa
cloche
I
hugged
all
the
mothers
and
kissed
all
the
gals,
J'ai
embrassé
toutes
les
mères
et
embrassé
toutes
les
filles,
So
long,
it's
been
good
to
know
you
Au

get
back
together
again
Et
on

I
got
to
the
camp
and
I
learnt
how
to
fight
Je
suis
arrivé
au
camp
et
j'ai
appris
à
me
battre
Fascists
in
daytime,
mosquitoes
at
night
Les
fascistes
le
jour,
les
moustiques
la
nuit
I
got
my
orders
to
cross
o'er
the
sea
J'ai
reçu
l'ordre
de
traverser
la
mer
So
I
waved
"goodbye"
to
the
girls
I
could
see,
Alors
j'ai
fait
signe
"au
revoir"
aux
filles
que
je
pouvais
voir,
So
long,
it's
been
good
to
know
you
Au

Il
y

une
grande
guerre
à

And
we'll
get
back

again
Et

I
got
on
a
boat
and
I
started
to
float
Je
suis
monté
dans
un
bateau
et
j'ai
commencé
à
flotter
My
old
pack-sack
and
my
big
wool
coat
Mon
vieux
sac
à
dos
et
mon
gros
manteau
de
laine
With
ten
thousand
men
we
rode
the
foam
Avec
dix
mille
hommes,
nous
avons
chevauché
l'écume
And
sung
this
song
to
the
people
back
home:
Et
chanté
cette
chanson
aux
gens
chez
nous
:
So
long,
it's

you
Au

be
won
Il
y
a
une
grande
guerre
à
gagner
And
we'll
get

again
Et

I
landed
somewhere
on
a
fighting
shore
J'ai
débarqué
quelque
part
sur
un
rivage
de
combat
With
ten
million
soldiers
and
ten
million
more
Avec
dix
millions
de
soldats
et
dix
millions
de
plus
And
while
we
were
chasing
that
Super
Race
Et
pendant
que
nous
chassions
cette
race
supérieure
We
sung
this
song
in
the
chase.
Nous
avons
chanté
cette
chanson
dans
la
poursuite.
It
was:

So
it
won't
be
long
till
the
fascists
are
gone
Alors
ce
ne
sera
pas
long
avant
que
les
fascistes
ne
soient
partis
And
all
of
their
likes
are
finished
and
done
Et
que
tous
leurs
semblables
soient
finis
et
faits
We'll
throw
the
clods
of
dirt
in
their
face
Nous
leur
jetterons
des
mottes
de
terre
à
la
figure
And
walk
away
from
that
lonesome
place
Et
nous
nous
éloignerons
de
ce
lieu
solitaire
So

it's
been
