John(original) |
John tait amoureux, a se voyait un peu |
Il avait un air si bizarre et veillait si tard |
Il buvait tant de vin que souvent, le matin |
On pouvait l’entendre de l’tang jusqu’au moulin |
La fille aux longues mains ne disait jamais rien |
Et le pauvre John pensait bien |
Qu' veiller dehors jusqu’au lever du jour |
Il en crverait ou bien de froid ou bien d’amour |
John avait un bguin, a se voyait un brin |
Quand il tapait sur sa poitrine en buvant du gin |
Il avait l’oeil hagard, buvait toujours part |
Poussait des hurlements qui faisaient fuir le vent |
Mais la fille aux longues mains ne disait jamais rien |
Et le pauvre John pensait bien |
Qu' veiller dehors jusqu’au lever du jour |
Il en crverait ou bien de froid ou bien d’amour |
John tait amoureux, il en a fait l’aveu |
Depuis, de la rivire au port, on en rit encore |
Le soir, au coin du feu, on coute les vieux |
Raconter l’histoire de John l’amoureux |
Il aimait la statue d’une belle inconnue |
Morte cent ans auparavant dans un ouragan |
Il allait tous les jours lui dire son amour |
Et noyait sa peine dans un verre son retour |
La fille aux longues mains ne dirait jamais rien |
Et le pauvre John savait bien |
Que dans la statue tait son coeur et qu’un jour |
Il en crverait ou bien de froid ou bien d’amour |
Que dans la statue tait son coeur et qu’un jour |
Il en crverait ou bien de froid ou bien d’amour |
Il en crverait ou bien de froid ou bien d’amour |
(translation) |
John was in love, saw himself a little |
He looked so weird and stayed up so late |
He drank so much wine that often in the morning |
You could hear it from the pond to the mill |
The girl with the long hands never said anything |
And poor John thought well |
Than watch out till daybreak |
He would die either of cold or of love |
John had a crush, saw himself a bit |
When he tapped his chest while drinking gin |
He was haggard-eyed, always drinking from |
Raised howls that drove the wind away |
But the girl with the long hands never said anything |
And poor John thought well |
Than watch out till daybreak |
He would die either of cold or of love |
John was in love, he admitted it |
Since then, from the river to the port, we still laugh about it |
In the evening, by the fire, we listen to the old |
Tell the story of John the Lover |
He liked the statue of a beautiful stranger |
Died a hundred years ago in a hurricane |
He went everyday to tell her his love |
And drowned his pain in a glass his return |
The girl with the long hands would never say anything |
And poor John knew well |
That in the statue was his heart and that one day |
He would die either of cold or of love |
That in the statue was his heart and that one day |
He would die either of cold or of love |
He would die either of cold or of love |
