Jamais ne s'oublient (original)Jamais ne s'oublient (translation)
La rivière du voyageur The Traveler's River
Se promène dans la savane Walks in the savannah
Elle roule tous les malheurs She rolls all the misfortunes
Des grands nègres de la Louisiane Big niggers from Louisiana
Jour et nuit, on entend sa complainte Day and night we hear his lament
Jour et nuit, on entend sa chanson Day and night we hear his song
C’est le vent qui répète sa plainte It's the wind that repeats its complaint
En passant sur les champs de coton Passing over the cotton fields
Le tam-tam résonne au loin The tom-tom resounds in the distance
Et les oiseaux roucoulent d’amour And the birds coo with love
Mais là-bas, roulant sans fin But there, rolling endlessly
C’est la rivière qui gronde toujours It's the river that always roars
De son bruit sourd Of its thud
Jour et nuit, c’est toujours sa complainte Day and night is always her lament
Jour et nuit, c’est toujours sa chanson Day and night, it's still his song
Obsédant, le vent porte sa plainte Obsessive, the wind carries its complaint
Tristement, au fond de l’horizon Sadly, at the bottom of the horizon
La rivière sort de son lit The river comes out of its bed
Et bouscule les pauvres hommes And hustle the poor men
Elle emporte tout un pays She takes a whole country
Elle emporte ce que nous sommes She takes what we are
Jour et nuit, pour calmer sa colère Day and night, to calm his anger
Jour et nuit, les nègres vont prier Day and night niggers go pray
Dans le vent, on entend les prières In the wind we hear the prayers
Implorant une part de pitié Begging for a share of mercy
Le grand Jim avait peiné Big Jim had toiled
Et ses cheveux étaient en argent And her hair was silver
Mais le flot l’a emporté But the tide took him away
Alors tant pis pour ses cheveux blancs So too bad for her white hair
Et ses enfants And his children
Jour et nuit, on entend la rivière Day and night we hear the river
Jour et nuit, et son grand tourbillon Day and night, and its great whirlwind
Hou, hou, hou, on entend la rivière Whoo, whoo, whoo, we hear the river
Hou, hou, hou, le nègre dort au fondWhoo, whoo, whoo, the nigga sleepin' in the back
