I think lines 1, 2, and 5 are something like: Je veux chanter jusqu'à ce que j'aie ferme les yeux. [or possibly "mes yeux"] [I want to sing until I have closed my eyes.] |

I've messed with the translation a bit to fit what I'm hearing, but I think it could use some fixing: être libre de la douleur, être libre pas lendemain |

(2000). Authorship is credited to James Edward Pryor (which I'm guessing is Snooky's real name). The same recording (I think) is on a sampler album: "Maximum Mojo: Electro-Fi Records 10th Anniversary Collection" (2007), except there it's called "WORK 'TIL MY DAYS ARE DONE." (He clearly sings "gone" though.) He doesn't sing the French verse, though. AllMusic.com has a few variations on the title: WORK UNTIL MY DAYS ARE DONE by the Original Northernaires. WORK UNTIL MY DAY IS DONE by Betty R Woods WORKING 'TIL THE DAY IS DONE by Dynamic Dixie Travelers I haven't heard those recordings, though, so I can't attest that they are the same song. |
