Little boy in a baseball hat stands in the field with his ball and bat
Petit garçon dans un chapeau de base-ball est sur le terrain avec sa balle et bâton
Says, "I am the greatest player of them all"
Dit: "Je suis le plus grand joueur de tous"
Puts his bat on his shoulder and he tosses up his ball.
Met son bâton sur son épaule et il lance sa balle.
And the ball goes up and the ball comes down,
Et la balle monte et descend le ballon,
Swings his bat all the way around
Balance son bâton sur tout le pourtour
The world so still you can hear the sound, the baseball falls to the ground.
Le monde de sorte que vous pouvez encore entendre le bruit, le baseball tombe sur le sol.
Now the little boy doesn't say a word, picks up his ball he is undeterred.
Maintenant, le petit garçon ne dit pas un mot, ramasse sa balle, il n'est pas découragée.
Says, "I am the greatest that there has ever been"
Dit: "Je suis le plus grand qui ait jamais existé"
And he grits his teeth and he tries again.
Et il serre les dents et il essaie à nouveau.
And the ball goes up and the ball comes down,
Et la balle monte et descend le ballon,
Swings his bat all the way around
Balance son bâton sur tout le pourtour
The world so still you can hear the sound, the baseball falls to the ground.
Le monde de sorte que vous pouvez encore entendre le bruit, le baseball tombe sur le sol.
He makes no excuses he shows no fear
Il ne fait aucune excuse, il ne montre aucune peur
He just closes his eyes and listens to the cheers.
Il se ferme juste les yeux et écoute les acclamations.
Little boy he adjusts his hat, picks up his ball, stares at his bat
Petit garçon, il ajuste son chapeau, ramasse sa balle, regarde fixement sa batte
Says "I am the greates when the game is on the line"
Dit: "Je suis le greates quand le jeu est sur la ligne"
And he gives his all one last time.
Et il donne tout une dernière fois.
And the ball goes up and the moon so bright
Et la balle monte et la lune si brillante
Swings his bat with all his might
Balance son bâton de toutes ses forces
The world's as still as still can be, the baseball falls
Le monde est aussi immobile que peut encore être, le baseball tombe
And that's strike three.
Et c'est la grève de trois.
Now it's suppertime and his momma calls,
Maintenant, c'est l'heure du souper et ses appels momma,
little boy starts home with his bat and ball.
petit garçon commence à la maison avec sa batte et la balle.
Says, "I am the greatest, that is a fact,
Dit: "Je suis le plus grand, c'est un fait,
But even I didn't know I could pitch like that!"
Mais même moi je ne savais pas que je pouvais planter comme ça! "
Says, "I am the greatest, that is understood,
Dit: "Je suis le plus grand, c'est entendu,
But even I didn't know I could pitch that good!"
Mais même moi je ne savais pas que je pouvais planter bon que ça! "
