Текст и перевод песни Johnnie Ray feat. Ray Conniff and His Orchestra - Plant a Little Seed

Plant a Little Seed

Take my little hoe, dig a hole in the ground
Take my little seed and I plant it down;
Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,
We′ll all dance around and see my little seed grow.
Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,
Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,
Let's all dance around and see my little seed grow.
The rain it come and it washed my ground
I thought my little seed was going to drown
I waded and I splashed and I carried my seed
I planted it again on some higher ground.
Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,
Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,
Let′s all dance around and see my little seed grow.
The sun got hot and my ground got dry.
I thought my little seed would burn and die.
I carried some water from a watering mill,
I said, "Little, you can drink your fill."
Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,
Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,
Let's all dance around and see my little seed grow.
The snow it blowed and the wind it blew;
My little seed grew and it grew and it grew.
It grew up a cradle all soft inside;
And a baby was sleeping there covered over with vines.

Plante une petite graine

Prends ma petite houe, creuse un trou dans le sol
Prends ma petite graine et je la plante;
Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,
On va tous danser et voir ma petite graine pousser.
Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,
Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,
On va tous danser et voir ma petite graine pousser.
La pluie est venue et elle a inondé mon terrain
J'ai pensé que ma petite graine allait se noyer
J'ai pataugé et j'ai éclaboussé et j'ai transporté ma graine
Je l'ai replantée sur un terrain plus élevé.
Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,
Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,
On va tous danser et voir ma petite graine pousser.
Le soleil a chauffé et mon terrain est devenu sec.
J'ai pensé que ma petite graine allait brûler et mourir.
J'ai apporté de l'eau d'un moulin à eau,
J'ai dit: "Petite, tu peux boire à ta faim."
Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,
Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,
On va tous danser et voir ma petite graine pousser.
La neige a soufflé et le vent a soufflé;
Ma petite graine a poussé et elle a poussé et elle a poussé.
Elle a poussé un berceau tout doux à l'intérieur;
Et un bébé dormait là, recouvert de vignes.
