Jambalaya (original)Jambalaya (translation)
Jambalaya crient les Indiens qui se rassemblent Jambalaya shout the Indians who gather
Jambalaya répond au loin l'écho qui tremble Jambalaya responds in the distance to the trembling echo
Et soudain sur les eaux où tout danse And suddenly on the waters where everything dances
On voit filer les piroguiers qui s'élancent We see the boatmen rushing by
Les Indiens aujourd’hui sont en fête Indians today are celebrating
Dans la nuit tous les tam-tam leur répétent In the night all the tom-toms repeat to them
Et là-bas comme le veut la coutume And there as usual
Les yeux brillent autour des feux qui s’allument The eyes shine around the fires that light up
Jambalaya dit le sorcier qui saute et danse Jambalaya says the wizard who jumps and dances
Jambalaya crient les guerriers levant leurs lances Jambalaya shout the warriors raising their spears
Et les chefs sous leurs salves et leurs plumes And the chiefs under their volleys and their feathers
Fument en rang le calumet sous la lune Smoke in a row the pipe under the moon
A minuit quand les flammes rugissent At midnight when the flames roar
Les Indiens font au ciel des sacrifices Indians make sacrifices to heaven
Le grand chef choisissant sa compagne The great chief choosing his mate
Tout en chantant vers le sorcier l’accompagne While singing towards the wizard accompanies him
Jambalaya mais dans leur tente selon l’usage Jambalaya but in their tent as usual
Jambalaya c’est maintenant le mariage Jambalaya is now the wedding
Sous les yeux flamboyants des idoles Under the flaming eyes of the idols
Et tout à coup un rythme fou qui s’envole And suddenly a crazy rhythm flies away
Jambalaya comme une loi, la fête indienne Jambalaya as a law, the Indian feast
Jambalaya hurle de joie et se déchaine Jambalaya screams with joy and goes wild
Mais bientôt dans le jour qui s'éclaire But soon in the brightening day
Le chant indien va s’effacer puis se taire The Indian song will fade then be silent
Jambala-ya Jambala-ya Jambala-yaJambala-ya Jambala-ya Jambala-ya
