His name was Eddie Crimmins And he came from Port aux Basques, Besides a chance to live and work He had nothing much to ask... And yet, he starved, he starved, I tell you, Back in nineteen twenty-four, And before he died he suffered As many have before.
Il s'appelait Eddie Crimmins Et il venait de Port aux Basques, À part de vivre et de travailler Il n'avait rien d'autre à demander… Pourtant, il creva, creva de faim, je vous le dis, En mil neuf cent vingt-quatre, Et avant de mourir il souffrit Comme tant d'autres avant lui.
