Paroles et traduction Donovan - Hurdy Gurdy Man

Hurdy Gurdy Man

Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
I opened my eyes to take a peek
To find that I was by the sea
Gazing with tranquility

'Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love

"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang
"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang
"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang

Histories of ages past
Unenlightened shadows cast
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity

'Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love

"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang
"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurd
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang

"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang
Here comes the Roly Poly Man
He's singing songs of love
"Roly poly, roly poly, holy poly poly" he sang
"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang
"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang

L'homme au hurdy-gurdy

Jeté comme une étoile dans mon sommeil profond
J'ai ouvert les yeux pour jeter un coup d'œil
Pour découvrir que j'étais au bord de la mer
Contemplant avec tranquillité

C'est alors que l'homme au hurdy-gurdy
Est venu chanter des chansons d'amour
Puis quand l'homme au hurdy-gurdy
Est venu chanter des chansons d'amour

"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" il chantait
"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" il chantait
"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" il chantait

Histoires des âges passés
Ombres non éclairées projetées
À travers toute l'éternité
Le cri de l'humanité

C'est alors que l'homme au hurdy-gurdy
Arrive pour chanter des chansons d'amour
Puis quand l'homme au hurdy-gurdy
Arrive pour chanter des chansons d'amour

"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" il chantait
"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurd
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" il chantait

"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" il chantait
Voici l'homme Roly Poly
Il chante des chansons d'amour
"Roly poly, roly poly, holy poly poly" il chantait
"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" il chantait
"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" il chantait
