Текст и перевод песни Great Big Sea - General Taylor

General Taylor

Well General Taylor gained the day
Walk him along, John, Carry him along
Well General Taylor he gained the day
Carry him to his bury'n ground

Chorus:

Tell me where you're stormy
Walk him along, John, carry him along
Tell me where you're stormy
Carry him to his bury'n ground

We'll dig his grave with a silver spade
Walk him along, John, Carry him along
His shroud of the finest silk will be made
Carry him to his bury'n ground

Chorus

We'll lower him down on a golden chain
Walk him along, John, Carry him along
On every inch we'll carve his name
Carry him to his bury'n ground

Chorus

General Taylor he's all the go
Walk him along, John, Carry him along
He's gone where the stormy winds won't blow
Carry him to his bury'n ground

Chorus

General Taylor he's dead and he's gone
Walk him along, John, Carry him along
Well General Taylor he's long dead and gone
Carry him to his bury'n ground

Général Taylor

Eh bien, le général Taylor a gagné la journée
Marche avec lui, Jean, Porte-le
Eh bien, le général Taylor a gagné la journée
Porte-le à sa sépulture

Refrain:

Dis-moi où tu es tempétueux
Marche avec lui, Jean, Porte-le
Dis-moi où tu es tempétueux
Porte-le à sa sépulture

On creusera sa tombe avec une pelle d'argent
Marche avec lui, Jean, Porte-le
Son linceul sera fait de la soie la plus fine
Porte-le à sa sépulture

Refrain

On le descendra sur une chaîne dorée
Marche avec lui, Jean, Porte-le
On gravera son nom sur chaque pouce
Porte-le à sa sépulture

Refrain

Le général Taylor, il a tout le monde
Marche avec lui, Jean, Porte-le
Il est allé là où les vents tempétueux ne soufflent pas
Porte-le à sa sépulture

Refrain

Le général Taylor est mort et il est parti
Marche avec lui, Jean, Porte-le
Eh bien, le général Taylor est mort depuis longtemps et il est parti
Porte-le à sa sépulture
