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