La guimbarde(original) |
Trois garçons qui maraudaient |
S’en allaient par la forêt |
Le premier était un gueux |
Le second un miséreux |
Le troisième, qu'était boiteux |
Lui, jouait de la guimbarde |
Le plus grand allait devant |
Le cadet allait suivant |
Le boiteux, qu’allait traînant |
Avait tout juste treize ans |
Tout le matin ils marchèrent |
Dans les branches et la fougère |
Aux abords d’une clairière |
Soudain, tous trois s’arrêtèrent |
Dans la lumière sereine |
Entourée de marjolaines |
Appuyée tout contre un chêne |
Une enfant filait la laine |
L’un lui donna des noisettes |
L’autre un bouquet de violettes |
Le boiteux lui dit: Fillette |
Que tu es donc mignonnette ! |
Soudain l’aîné s’approcha |
Et sa menotte lui vola |
La fillette s’affola |
S’en fut courant vers le bois |
C’est l’aîné qui l'égorgea |
L’autre qui la violenta |
Le boiteux, lui, s'échappa |
Et sa guimbarde tomba |
On raconte que, dans ce bois |
À la lune, on voit parfois |
Le fantôme d’un gueux |
Le fantôme d’un miséreux |
Le fantôme d’un boiteux |
Cherchant en vain sa guimbarde |
Sa guimbarde, sa guimbarde |
(translation) |
Three marauding boys |
Were going through the forest |
The first was a beggar |
The second a destitute |
The third, what was lame |
He played the jew's harp |
The bigger one went ahead |
The younger went next |
The lame, who was dragging |
Was just thirteen years old |
All morning they walked |
In the branches and the fern |
Near a clearing |
Suddenly all three stopped |
In the serene light |
Surrounded by marjoram |
Leaning against an oak tree |
A child was spinning wool |
One gave him hazelnuts |
The other a bouquet of violets |
The lame said to her: Girl |
How cute are you! |
Suddenly the eldest approached |
And his handcuff flew from him |
The girl panicked |
Ran off to the woods |
It was the eldest who slaughtered him |
The other who abused her |
The lame one escaped |
And his jew's harp fell |
They say that in this wood |
In the moon we sometimes see |
The Ghost of a Beggar |
The ghost of a pauper |
A lame man's ghost |
Searching in vain for his harp |
His jew's harp, his jew's harp |
