Ma couce vallée (original)Ma couce vallée (translation)
Traîné d’un air nonchalant Dragged nonchalantly
Par deux juments paresseuses By two lazy mares
Un chariot va lentement A cart goes slowly
Sur la route poussiéreuse On the dusty road
Le garçon qui tient les rênes The boy who holds the reins
Fixe d’un il fatigué Fixed with a tired eye
Les grands peupliers piqués The tall poplars
Le long de l’immense plaine Along the vast plain
Il est triste et il chante He is sad and he sings
Qu’elle était verte ma vallée! How green was my valley!
Qu’elle était douce à regarder! She was sweet to look at!
Il faisait bon y travailler It was good to work there
Il faisait bon s’y reposer It was good to rest there
Il porte un vieux pantalon He wears old pants
Une chemise à carreaux A checked shirt
Sur la tête un grand chapeau On the head a big hat
Aux souliers des éperons In the shoes of the spurs
C’est un cow-boy qui trimballe He's a cowboy who lugs around
Dans un chariot qui brinqu’balle In a rickety cart
Les restes de sa maison The remains of his house
Misérable cargaison Miserable cargo
Il est triste et il chante He is sad and he sings
Qu’elle était verte ma vallée! How green was my valley!
Qu’elle était douce à regarder! She was sweet to look at!
Il faisait bon y travailler It was good to work there
Il faisait bon s’y reposer It was good to rest there
Pour faire passer sur sa terre To bring across his land
Les rails du chemin de fer The Railroad Tracks
Des messieurs bien habillés Well-dressed gentlemen
Lui ont dit «Faut t’en aller» They told him "You have to go"
Fuyant le bruit des machines Running away from the noise of the machines
Et la fumée des usines And the smoke from the factories
Dans un chariot délabré In a dilapidated cart
Il va vers sa liberté He goes to his freedom
En chantant simplement By just singing
Qu’elle était verte ma vallée! How green was my valley!
Qu’elle était douce à regarder! She was sweet to look at!
Il faisait bon y travailler It was good to work there
Il faisait bon s’y reposer It was good to rest there
Sur la route poussiéreuse On the dusty road
Un chariot va lentementA cart goes slowly
