Lyrics and translation Cat Stevens - The Laughing Apple
Slowly
let
me
tell
you
a
story
of
a
tree
Laisse-moi
te
raconter
lentement
une
histoire
d'un
arbre
An
apple
tree
Un
pommier
Once
in
a
summertime
garden
Dans
un
jardin
d'été
Lived
a
little
apple
tree
Vivant
un
petit
pommier
And
the
man
who
owned
it
wanted
it
to
be
picked
Et
l'homme
qui
le
possédait
voulait
qu'il
soit
cueilli
And
so
he
sent
forth
to
hire
me
Alors
il
m'a
envoyé
pour
me
louer
Well,
I've
traveled
the
mountains
Eh
bien,
j'ai
voyagé
dans
les
montagnes
And
I've
traveled
the
sea
Et
j'ai
voyagé
sur
la
mer
But
a-never
in
my
traveling
days
Mais
jamais
dans
mes
voyages
Have
I
ever
seen
a
little
apple
smile
at
me!
J'ai
jamais
vu
une
petite
pomme
me
sourire !
So
laugh,
laugh,
little
apple
Alors
ris,
ris,
petite
pomme
Autumn
is
waiting,
you'd
better
be
careful
L'automne
attend,
tu
ferais
mieux
de
faire
attention
And
it
will
bring
you
down
Et
il
te
fera
tomber
If
it
ever
sees
you
wearing
a
frown
S'il
te
voit
jamais
porter
une
moue
So
laugh,
laugh,
little
apple
Alors
ris,
ris,
petite
pomme
Well,
all
the
apples
were
hiding
Eh
bien,
toutes
les
pommes
se
cachaient
Frightened
that
they
might
be
plucked
Frightened
that
they
might
be
plucked
And
every
time
that
somebody
passed
Et
chaque
fois
que
quelqu'un
passait
All
except
that
one
little
apple
ducked
Tous
sauf
cette
petite
pomme
ont
esquivé
Well,
I've
traveled
the
mountains
Eh
bien,
j'ai
voyagé
dans
les
montagnes
And
I've
traveled
the
sea
Et
j'ai
voyagé
sur
la
mer
But
a-never
in
my
traveling
days
Mais
jamais
dans
mes
voyages
Have
I
ever
seen
a
little
apple
smile
at
me!
J'ai
jamais
vu
une
petite
pomme
me
sourire !
So
laugh,
laugh,
little
apple
Alors
ris,
ris,
petite
pomme
Autumn
