Leave Her, Johnny

Laisse-la, Johnny

Leave Her, Johnny

Je pensais avoir entendu le Vieux direI thought I heard the Old Man say
Laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-laLeave her, Johnny, leave her
Demain tu recevras ton salaireTomorrow you will get your pay
Et il est temps de la laisserAnd it's time for us to leave her

Laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-laLeave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-laOh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
Car le voyage est long et le vent ne souffle pasFor the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
Et il est temps de la laisserAnd it's time for us to leave her

Oh, le vent était mauvais et la mer était hauteOh, the wind was foul and the sea ran high
Laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-laLeave her, Johnny, leave her
Elle a pris de l'eau et personne n'est passéShe shipped it green and none went by
Et il est temps de la laisserAnd it's time for us to leave her

Laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-laLeave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-laOh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
Car le voyage est long et le vent ne souffle pasFor the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
Et il est temps de la laisserAnd it's time for us to leave her

Je déteste naviguer sur ce vieux tas de ferI hate to sail on this rotten tub
Laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-laLeave her, Johnny, leave her
Pas de grog et de la nourriture pourrieNo grog allowed and rotten grub
Et il est temps de la laisserAnd it's time for us to leave her

Laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-laLeave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-laOh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
Car le voyage est long et le vent ne souffle pasFor the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
Et il est temps de la laisserAnd it's time for us to leave her

On jure par habitude faute de mieuxWe swear by rote for want of more
Laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-laLeave her, Johnny, leave her
Mais maintenant c'est fini, on va aller à terreBut now we're through so we'll go on shore
Et il est temps de la laisserAnd it's time for us to leave her

Laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-laLeave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-laOh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
Car le voyage est long et le vent ne souffle pasFor the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
Et il est temps de la laisserAnd it's time for us to leave her
