Big Bad John
Jimmy Dean
(Big John, big John)
Every mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive
He stood six-foot-six and weighed two-forty-five
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to big John
(Big John, big John)
Big bad John (big John)
Nobody seemed to know where John called home
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone
He didn't say much, kinda quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all, you just said hi to Big John
Somebody said he came from New Orleans
Where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen
And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand
Sent a Louisiana fellow to the promised land, big John
(Big John, big John)
Big bad John (big John)
Then came the day at the bottom of the mine
When a timber cracked and men started cryin'
Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast
And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last, 'cept John
Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made hell
Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well
Grabbed a saggin' timber, gave out with a groan
And like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone, big John
(Big John, big John)
Big bad John (big John)
And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove
Then a miner yelled out "there's a light up above!"
And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave
Now there's only one left down there to save, big John
With jacks and timbers they started back down
Then came that rumble way down in the ground
And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine
Everybody knew it was the end of the line for big John
(Big John, big John)
Big bad John (big John)
Now, they never reopened that worthless pit
They just placed a marble stand in front of it
These few words are written on that stand
At the bottom of this mine lies a big, big man
Big John
(Big John, big John)
Big bad John (big John)
(Big John) big bad John
(Big John, big John)
(Grande John, grande John)
Every mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive
Lo vedevi arrivare ogni mattina in miniera
He stood six-foot-six and weighed two-forty-five
Alto sei piedi e sei pollici e pesava duecento quarantacinque once
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
Bello largo di spalle e i fianchi sottili
And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to big John
E tutti sapevano che con grande John non si discute
(Big John, big John)
(Grande John, grande John)
Big bad John (big John)
Grande tosto John (grande John)
Nobody seemed to know where John called home
Pare che nessuno sapesse dove era la casa di John
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone
Vagava per la città e stava tutto solo
He didn't say much, kinda quiet and shy
Non diceva molto, era taciturno e timido
And if you spoke at all, you just said hi to Big John
E se proprio gli parlavi, dicevi solo, "Ciao" a Grande John
Somebody said he came from New Orleans
Qualcuno ha detto che veniva da New Orleans
Where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen
Dove aveva fatto a botte per una regina Cajun
And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand
e un brutto colpo da un'enorme mano destra
Sent a Louisiana fellow to the promised land, big John
Aveva mandato all'altro mondo un tizio della Louisiana, grande John
(Big John, big John)
(Grande John, grande John)
Big bad John (big John)
Grande tosto John (grande John)
Then came the day at the bottom of the mine
Poi venne il giorno che in fondo alla miniera
When a timber cracked and men started cryin'
Si spezzò una trave e gli uomini iniziarono a piangere
Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast
I miniatori pregavano e i cuori battevano forte
And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last, 'cept John
E tutti pensavano che avrebbero esalato l'ultimo respiro, eccetto John
Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made hell
Attraverso la polvere e il fumo di questo inferno artificiale
Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well
Camminava un gigante di uomo che i minatori conoscevano bene
Grabbed a saggin' timber, gave out with a groan
Afferrò un a trave cascante, emise un gemito
And like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone, big John
E come una quercia gigante lui restò in piedi da solo, grande John
(Big John, big John)
(Grande John, grande John)
Big bad John (big John)
Grande tosto John (grande John)
And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove
E con tutta la sua forza diede una spinta potente
Then a miner yelled out "there's a light up above!"
Poi un minatore gridò, "C'è luce lassù"
And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave
E venti uomini uscirono da una probabile tomba
Now there's only one left down there to save, big John
Ora ce n'è rimasto solo uno da salvare là sotto, grande John
With jacks and timbers they started back down
Con martinetti e legni iniziarono a scendere di nuovo
Then came that rumble way down in the ground
Poi si sentì quel rombo giù nel terreno
And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine
E poi fumo e gas uscirono da quella miniera
Everybody knew it was the end of the line for big John
Tutti capirono che era la fine per grande John
(Big John, big John)
(Grande John, grande John)
Big bad John (big John)
Grande tosto John (grande John)
Now, they never reopened that worthless pit
Ora, nessuno ha mai riaperto quel pozzo inutile
They just placed a marble stand in front of it
Ci hanno messo solo davanti una lapide
These few words are written on that stand
Su cui sono scritte poche parole
At the bottom of this mine lies a big, big man
Sul fondo di questa miniera giace un grande, grande uomo
Big John
Grande John
(Big John, big John)
(Grande John, grande John)
Big bad John (big John)
Grande tosto John (grande John)
(Big John) big bad John
(Grande John) grande tosto John
(Big John, big John)
(Grande John, grande John)
Every mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive
Todas as manhãs na mina você podia vê-lo chegar
He stood six-foot-six and weighed two-forty-five
Ele tinha dois metros e pesava cento e dez quilos
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
Meio largo nos ombros e estreito nos quadris
And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to big John
E todo mundo sabia que não se devia desrespeitar o grande John
(Big John, big John)
(Grande John, grande John)
Big bad John (big John)
Grande e mau John (grande John)
Nobody seemed to know where John called home
Ninguém parecia saber de onde John vinha
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone
Ele apenas chegava na cidade e ficava sozinho
He didn't say much, kinda quiet and shy
Ele não falava muito, meio quieto e tímido
And if you spoke at all, you just said hi to Big John
E se você falasse com ele, apenas dizia, "Oi" para o Grande John
Somebody said he came from New Orleans
Alguém disse que ele veio de Nova Orleans
Where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen
Onde ele se envolveu em uma briga por uma Rainha Cajun
And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand
E um golpe esmagador de uma enorme mão direita
Sent a Louisiana fellow to the promised land, big John
Enviou um camarada da Louisiana para a terra prometida, grande John
(Big John, big John)
(Grande John, grande John)
Big bad John (big John)
Grande e mau John (grande John)
Then came the day at the bottom of the mine
Então veio o dia no fundo da mina
When a timber cracked and men started cryin'
Quando uma madeira rachou e os homens começaram a chorar
Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast
Os mineiros estavam rezando e os corações batiam rápido
And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last, 'cept John
E todo mundo pensou que tinham respirado pela última vez, exceto John
Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made hell
Através da poeira e da fumaça deste inferno feito pelo homem
Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well
Caminhou um gigante de um homem que os mineiros conheciam bem
Grabbed a saggin' timber, gave out with a groan
Agarrou uma madeira cedendo, soltou um gemido
And like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone, big John
E como um grande carvalho, ele apenas ficou ali sozinho, grande John
(Big John, big John)
(Grande John, grande John)
Big bad John (big John)
Grande e mau John (grande John)
And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove
E com toda a sua força ele deu um empurrão poderoso
Then a miner yelled out "there's a light up above!"
Então um mineiro gritou, "Há uma luz lá em cima"
And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave
E vinte homens saíram de um túmulo improvisado
Now there's only one left down there to save, big John
Agora só resta um lá embaixo para salvar, grande John
With jacks and timbers they started back down
Com macacos e madeiras eles começaram a descer
Then came that rumble way down in the ground
Então veio aquele estrondo lá no fundo da terra
And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine
E então fumaça e gás jorraram daquela mina
Everybody knew it was the end of the line for big John
Todo mundo sabia que era o fim da linha para o grande John
(Big John, big John)
(Grande John, grande John)
Big bad John (big John)
Grande e mau John (grande John)
Now, they never reopened that worthless pit
Agora, eles nunca reabriram aquele poço inútil
They just placed a marble stand in front of it
Eles apenas colocaram um pedestal de mármore na frente dele
These few words are written on that stand
Estas poucas palavras estão escritas naquele pedestal
At the bottom of this mine lies a big, big man
No fundo desta mina jaz um homem muito, muito grande
Big John
Grande John
(Big John, big John)
(Grande John, grande John)
Big bad John (big John)
Grande e mau John (grande John)
(Big John) big bad John
(Grande John) grande e mau John
(Big John, big John)
(Gran John, gran John)
Every mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive
Cada mañana en la mina podías verlo llegar
He stood six-foot-six and weighed two-forty-five
Medía seis pies y seis pulgadas y pesaba doscientas cuarenta y cinco libras
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
Un poco ancho de hombros y estrecho de caderas
And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to big John
Y todo el mundo sabía que no le faltabas al respeto a gran John
(Big John, big John)
(Gran John, gran John)
Big bad John (big John)
Gran malvado John (gran John)
Nobody seemed to know where John called home
Nadie parecía saber de dónde venía John
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone
Simplemente llegó a la ciudad y se quedó solo
He didn't say much, kinda quiet and shy
No hablaba mucho, era bastante tranquilo y tímido
And if you spoke at all, you just said hi to Big John
Y si hablabas en absoluto, solo decías, "Hola" a Gran John
Somebody said he came from New Orleans
Alguien dijo que venía de Nueva Orleans
Where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen

Mandó a un hombre de Louisiana a la tierra prometida, gran John
(Big John, big John)
(Gran John, gran John)
Big bad John (big John)
Gran malvado John (gran John)
Then came the day at the bottom of the mine
Luego llegó el día en el fondo de la mina
When a timber cracked and men started cryin'
Cuando una viga se agrietó y los hombres empezaron a llorar
Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast
Los mineros estaban rezando y los corazones latían rápido
And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last, 'cept John
Y todos pensaron que habían respirado su último aliento, excepto John
Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made hell
A través del polvo y el humo de este infierno hecho por el hombre
Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well
Caminó un gigante de un hombre que los mineros conocían bien
Grabbed a saggin' timber, gave out with a groan
Agarró una viga caída, soltó un gemido
And like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone, big John
Y como un gran roble, simplemente se quedó allí solo, gran John
(Big John, big John)
(Gran John, gran John)
Big bad John (big John)
Gran malvado John (gran John)
And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove
Y con toda su fuerza dio un fuerte empujón
Then a miner yelled out "there's a light up above!"
Luego un minero gritó, "Hay luz allá arriba"
And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave
Y veinte hombres se arrastraron desde una tumba en potencia
Now there's only one left down there to save, big John
Ahora solo queda uno allí abajo para salvar, gran John
With jacks and timbers they started back down
Con gatos y maderas comenzaron a bajar
Then came that rumble way down in the ground
Luego vino ese estruendo muy abajo en el suelo
And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine
Y luego humo y gas salieron de esa mina
Everybody knew it was the end of the line for big John
Todos sabían que era el fin de la línea para gran John
(Big John, big John)
(Gran John, gran John)
Big bad John (big John)
Gran malvado John (gran John)
Now, they never reopened that worthless pit
Ahora, nunca volvieron a abrir esa mina inútil
They just placed a marble stand in front of it
Simplemente colocaron un pedestal de mármol frente a ella
These few words are written on that stand
Estas pocas palabras están escritas en ese pedestal
At the bottom of this mine lies a big, big man
En el fondo de esta mina yace un hombre muy, muy grande

(Gran John, gran John)
Big bad John (big John)
Gran malvado John (gran John)
(Big John) big bad John
(Gran John) gran malvado John
(Big John, big John)
(Grand John, grand John)
Every mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive
Chaque matin à la mine, tu pouvais le voir arriver
He stood six-foot-six and weighed two-forty-five
Il mesurait six pieds six et pesait deux cent quarante-cinq
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
Plutôt large d'épaules et étroit de hanches
And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to big John
Et tout le monde savait qu'on ne faisait pas de lippe à grand John
(Big John, big John)
(Grand John, grand John)
Big bad John (big John)
Grand méchant John (grand John)
Nobody seemed to know where John called home
Personne ne semblait savoir où John appelait maison
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone
Il dérivait juste en ville et restait tout seul
He didn't say much, kinda quiet and shy
Il ne parlait pas beaucoup, plutôt calme et timide
And if you spoke at all, you just said hi to Big John

Somebody said he came from New Orleans

Then came the day at the bottom of the mine
Puis vint le jour au fond de la mine
When a timber cracked and men started cryin'
Quand une poutre a craqué et que les hommes ont commencé à pleurer
Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast
Les mineurs priaient et les cœurs battaient vite
And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last, 'cept John
Et tout le monde pensait qu'ils avaient respiré leur dernier, sauf John
Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made hell
À travers la poussière et la fumée de cet enfer fait par l'homme
Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well
Marchait un géant d'un homme que les mineurs connaissaient bien
Grabbed a saggin' timber, gave out with a groan
Il a attrapé une poutre affaissée, a poussé un gémissement
And like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone, big John
Et comme un chêne géant, il se tenait juste là tout seul, grand John
(Big John, big John)
(Grand John, grand John)
Big bad John (big John)
Grand méchant John (grand John)
And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove
Et avec toute sa force, il a donné une puissante poussée
Then a miner yelled out "there's a light up above!"
Puis un mineur a crié, "Il y a de la lumière là-haut"
And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave
Et vingt hommes se sont échappés d'une tombe potentielle
Now there's only one left down there to save, big John
Maintenant, il n'en reste qu'un là-bas à sauver, grand John
With jacks and timbers they started back down
Avec des crics et des poutres, ils ont commencé à redescendre
Then came that rumble way down in the ground
Puis vint ce grondement au fond du sol
And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine
Et puis de la fumée et du gaz ont jailli de cette mine
Everybody knew it was the end of the line for big John
Tout le monde savait que c'était la fin de la ligne pour grand John
(Big John, big John)
(Grand John, grand John)
Big bad John (big John)
Grand méchant John (grand John)
Now, they never reopened that worthless pit
Maintenant, ils n'ont jamais rouvert cette fosse sans valeur
They just placed a marble stand in front of it
Ils ont juste placé un socle en marbre devant
These few words are written on that stand
Ces quelques mots sont écrits sur ce socle
At the bottom of this mine lies a big, big man
Au fond de cette mine repose un grand, grand homme
Big John
Grand John
(Big John, big John)
(Grand John, grand John)
Big bad John (big John)
Grand méchant John (grand John)
(Big John) big bad John

Every mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive

Then came the day at the bottom of the mine
Dann kam der Tag am Boden des Bergwerks
When a timber cracked and men started cryin'
Als ein Balken knackte und die Männer zu weinen begannen
Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast
Die Bergleute beteten und die Herzen schlugen schnell
And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last, 'cept John
Und jeder dachte, dass sie ihren letzten Atemzug getan hätten, außer John
Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made hell
Durch den Staub und den Rauch dieser menschengemachten Hölle
Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well
Ging ein Riese von einem Mann, den die Bergleute gut kannten
Grabbed a saggin' timber, gave out with a groan
Er packte einen durchhängenden Balken, stöhnte auf
And like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone, big John
Und wie eine riesige Eiche stand er einfach alleine da, Big John
(Big John, big John)
(Big John, big John)
Big bad John (big John)
Big bad John (Big John)
And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove
Und mit all seiner Kraft gab er einen mächtigen Schub
Then a miner yelled out "there's a light up above!"
Dann schrie ein Bergmann: „Da oben ist ein Licht“
And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave
Und zwanzig Männer krochen aus einem möglichen Grab
Now there's only one left down there to save, big John
Jetzt gibt es nur noch einen, der dort unten zu retten ist, Big John
With jacks and timbers they started back down
Mit Wagenhebern und Balken fingen sie wieder an hinunterzugehen
Then came that rumble way down in the ground
Dann kam dieses Grollen tief im Boden
And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine
Und dann stiegen Rauch und Gas aus diesem Bergwerk
Everybody knew it was the end of the line for big John

These few words are written on that stand

Every mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive
Setiap pagi di tambang kamu bisa melihatnya tiba
He stood six-foot-six and weighed two-forty-five
Dia berdiri enam kaki enam dan beratnya dua ratus empat puluh lima
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip

Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well
Berjalan raksasa seorang pria yang penambang kenal dengan baik
Grabbed a saggin' timber, gave out with a groan
