about

Trad., translation from French by McKenna

lyrics

Sur un baleinier John s'est réveillé
John Kanaka naka tou laa hey
Quelqu'un criait “paré à larguer”
John Kanaka naka tou laa hey

CHORUS
Too laa hey ho too la hey
John Kanaka naka tou laa hey

They signed 'im up in a beer café
Got him drunk for free but soon he'd pay

Qu’importe ton temps tu l'passes à étarquer
C'est pas l'cap'taine qui monte dans les huniers

Rounding Cape Horn John started to pray
But god is cruel in a stormy way

Mais des baleines ils n'en ont pas trouvées
Y a qu'le sale temps qu'ils ont harponné

John jumped 'a' ship down at Spirits Bay
Met a Maori girl from Whangarei

John est heureux avec sa vahiné
C'est pas demain qu'il va ré embarquer
