The Lakes of Pontchartrain Lyrics – Planxty
Singer: Planxty
Title: The Lakes of Pontchartrain
It was on one bright March morning
I bid New Orleans adieu.
And I took the road to Jackson town,
My fortune to renew,
I cursed all foreign money,
No credit could I gain,
Which filled my heart with longing for
The lakes of Pontchartrain.
I stepped on board a railroad car,
Beneath the morning sun,
I road the roads till evening,
And I laid me down again,
All strangers there no friends to me,
Till a dark girl towards me came,
And I fell in love with a Creole girl,
By the lakes of Pontchartrain.
I said, “My pretty Creole girl,
My money here’s no good,
But if it weren’t for the alligators,
I’d sleep out in the wood”.
“You’re welcome here kind stranger,
Our house is very plain.
But we never turn a stranger out,
From the lakes of Pontchartrain.”
She took me into her mammy’s house,
And treated me quite well,
The hair upon her shoulder
In jet black ringlets fell.
To try and paint her beauty,
I’m sure it would be in vain,
So handsome was my Creole girl,
By the lakes of Pontchartrain.
I asked her if she’d marry me,
She said it could never be,
For she had got another,
And he was far at sea.
She said that she would wait for him
And true she would remain.
Till he returned for his Creole girl,
By the lakes of Pontchartrain.
So fare thee well my Creole girl,
I never will see you no more,
But I’ll ne’er forget your kindness
In the cottage by the shore.
And at each social gathering
A flowing glass I’ll raise,
And I’ll drink a health to my Creole girl,
And the lakes of Pontchartrain.

The Lakes of Pontchartrain – Terjemahan / Translation
Itu pada satu pagi Maret yang cerah
Saya menawar New Orleans Adieu.
Dan saya mengambil jalan menuju Jackson Town,
Keberuntungan saya untuk memperbarui,
Saya mengutuk semua uang asing,
Tidak ada kredit yang bisa saya dapatkan,
Yang memenuhi hatiku dengan kerinduan
Danau Pontchartrain.
Saya menginjak mobil kereta api,
Di bawah matahari pagi,
Saya jalan jalan sampai malam,
Dan aku membaringkanku lagi,
Semua orang asing di sana tidak ada teman bagiku,
Sampai seorang gadis gelap ke arahku datang,
Dan aku jatuh cinta dengan gadis creole,
Oleh danau Pontchartrain.
Saya berkata, “Gadis creole cantik saya,
Uang saya di sini tidak baik,
Tetapi jika bukan karena buaya,
Saya akan tidur di kayu “.
“Kamu disambut di sini orang asing,
Rumah kami sangat sederhana.
Tapi kita tidak pernah keluar asing,
Dari danau Pontchartrain. ”
Dia membawa saya ke rumah Mammy-nya,
Dan memperlakukan saya dengan cukup baik,
Rambut di bahunya
Di Jet Black Ringlets jatuh.
Untuk mencoba dan melukis kecantikannya,
Saya yakin itu akan sia-sia,
Begitu tampan adalah gadis creole saya,
Oleh danau Pontchartrain.
Saya bertanya kepadanya apakah dia akan menikah dengan saya,
Dia bilang itu tidak akan pernah,
Karena dia punya yang lain,
Dan dia jauh di laut.
Dia berkata bahwa dia akan menunggunya
Dan benar dia akan tetap.
Sampai dia kembali untuk gadis creole-nya,
Oleh danau Pontchartrain.
Jadi ongkos itu gadis creole saya,
Aku tidak akan pernah melihatmu lagi,
Tapi aku akan melupakan kebaikanmu
Di pondok di tepi pantai.
Dan pada setiap pertemuan sosial
Kaca yang mengalir saya akan menaikkan,
Dan saya akan minum kesehatan untuk gadis creole saya,
Dan danau Pontchartrain.
