Mr. Mang Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 i was listening to this song and was wondering what the hell it meant. Dans les prisons de Nantes, lan digidigidan, lan digidigidigidan Dans les prisons de Nantes, y'avait un prisonnier, y'avait un prisonnier. Personne ne le vint l'vouer Que la fille du geolier Un jour il lui demande Oui Que dit on de moue On dit de vous en ville Que vous serez pendu Mais s'il faut qu'on me pende Deliez moi les pieds La fille etait jeunette Les pieds lui a delie Le prisonnier alerte Dans la Loire a saute (slow down) Des qu'il fut sur les rives Il se prit a chanter (speed up again) Je chante pour les belles Surtout celle du geolier Si je reviens a Nantes Oui je l'epouserai Dans les prisons de Nantes Y'avait un prisonnier.

Pistol Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 French quite possibly the world's most useless language. Not quite perfect but could help. http://www.freetranslation.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumPuncher Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 here you go. Dans les prisons de Nantes, y'avait un prisonnier, y'avait un prisonnier. In the Nates prison, there's was a prisoner Personne ne le vint l'vouer Que la fille du geolier No one saw him steal, but some fat cat's daughter Un jour il lui demande Oui Que dit on de moue One day he asks "what's the word on the street?" On dit de vous en ville Que vous serez pendu They say in the city that you'll be hung Mais s'il faut qu'on me pende Deliez moi les pieds But if I have to hang, please let me see her feet La fille etait jeunette Les pieds lui a delie The girl was young and her feet were so delicate Le prisonnier alerte Dans la Loire a saute The prisoner alert, down the well(?) he jumps (slow down) Des qu'il fut sur les rives Il se prit a chanter As soon as he died, he started to sing Je chante pour les belles Surtout celle du geolier I sing for the girls, esspeciall the fat cat's daughter Si je reviens a Nantes Oui je l'epouserai If I come back to Nantes, I'll marry her.

Spike Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Just some minor edits, in case you feel like being pedantic. Edits in italics. Dans les prisons de Nantes, y'avait un prisonnier, y'avait un prisonnier. In the Nates prison, there's was a prisoner Personne ne le vint l'vouer Que la fille du geolier No one saw him steal, but the jailer's daughter Un jour il lui demande Oui Que dit on de moue One day he asks "what's the word on the street?" On dit de vous en ville Que vous serez pendu They say in the city that you'll be hung Mais s'il faut qu'on me pende Deliez moi les pieds But if I have to hang, please let me see her feet La fille etait jeunette Les pieds lui a delie The girl was young and her feet were so delicate Le prisonnier alerte Dans la Loire a saute The prisoner alert, down the Loire he jumps (The Loire is a river in France) (slow down) Des qu'il fut sur les rives Il se prit a chanter Once he reached the banks of the river, he started to sing (WTF?! The song never said he died... lol) Je chante pour les belles Surtout celle du geolier I sing for the girls, esspeciall the jailer's daughter Si je reviens a Nantes Oui je l'epouserai If I come back to Nantes, Yes I'll marry her.

RumPuncher Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 and thanks for the minor corrections... Not too shabby for someone who hasn't taken french since highschool (6 years ago) I thought 'reaches the banks of the river' was a reference to the River Styx and death. Cool... I'm glad he got away!
