Laisse-la, Johnny

Leave Her Johnny Shanty

Oh, j'ai cru entendre le vieux direOh, thought I heard the old man say
Laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-laLeave her, Johnny, leave her
Demain tu recevras ton salaireTomorrow ye will get your pay
Et il est temps de la laisserAn' 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 an' 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 laisserAn' it's time for us to leave her

On jure par habitude, faute de mieuxWe swear by rote for want o' more
Laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-laLeave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, maintenant on a fini, alors on va à terreOh, 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
