C'est amusant de voir que la traduction met les élément dans ce sens.
En réalité, il s'agit de "sucre, thé et rhum".
Est ce que quelqu’un a une idée du pourquoi de l'inversion ?

Peut-être pour faire la rime entre "arriver" et "thé" ?


Puisse le Wellerman bientôt arriver
Pour nous apporter du sucre, du rhum et du thé

D'ailleursdans ce couplet il y a de la rime:
Elle n'était pas à deux semaines du rivage
Quand, sur elle, une vraie baleine fonça
Le capitaine appela tout l'équipage et jura
Qu'il prendrait cette baleine dans son sillage (Hah!)


Et en Anglais tu t’aperçois c'est une chanson qui rime (qui rythme aussi). Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Ça pourrait expliquer cette inversion.


There once was a ship that put to sea
And the name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
Blow, me bully boys, blow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing' is done
We'll take our leave and go
She had not been two weeks from shore
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take that whale in tow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing' is done
We'll take our leave and go
Before the boat had hit the water
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down below (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and…

No line was cut, no whale was freed
An' the captain's mind was not on greed
But he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
She took that ship in tow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing' is done
We'll take our leave and go
For forty days or even more (ooh)
The line went slack then tight once more
All boats were lost, there were only four
And still that whale did go
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing' is done
We'll take our leave and go
As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone
The Wellerman makes his regular call
To encourage the captain, crew and all
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing' is done
We'll take our leave and go
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing' is done
We'll take our leave and go


Du coup, maintenant, c'est moi qui ai cet air dans la tête
