Lyrics and translation Bessie Smith - Sing Sing Prison Blues




Sing Sing Prison Blues
Blues de la prison de Sing Sing
Gonna journey up the Hudson
Je vais voyager en amont de l'Hudson
Goin' on a lonesome trail
Je vais sur un chemin solitaire
Gonna journey up the Hudson
Je vais voyager en amont de l'Hudson
Goin' on a lonesome trail
Je vais sur un chemin solitaire
They can put me in the Death House
Ils peuvent me mettre dans le quartier des condamnés à mort
Or keep me in the Sing Sing Jail
Ou me garder dans la prison de Sing Sing
I wrote and asked the warden
J'ai écrit et demandé au directeur
Why they called the jail the Sing Sing
Pourquoi ils appelaient la prison Sing Sing
I wrote and asked the warden
J'ai écrit et demandé au directeur
Why the called the jail the Sing Sing
Pourquoi ils appelaient la prison Sing Sing
He said, "Stand here by this rock pile
Il a dit : "Tiens-toi ici près de ce tas de pierres
And listen to them hammers ring"
Et écoute les marteaux sonner"
He turns in the court house
Il tourne au palais de justice
Papers sellin' for fifty cents
Des journaux se vendent à cinquante cents
He turns in the court house
Il tourne au palais de justice
Papers sellin' for fifty cents
Des journaux se vendent à cinquante cents
All the judge tryin' to tell me
Tous les juges essaient de me dire
My lawyer's pleadin' self defense
Mon avocat plaide la légitime défense
The judge said, "Listen, Bessie
Le juge a dit : "Écoute, Bessie
Tell me why you killed your man"
Dis-moi pourquoi tu as tué ton homme"
The judge said, "Listen, Bessie
Le juge a dit : "Écoute, Bessie
Tell me why you killed your man"
Dis-moi pourquoi tu as tué ton homme"
I said, "Judge, you ain't no woman
J'ai dit : "Juge, tu n'es pas une femme
And you can't understand"
Et tu ne peux pas comprendre"
You can send me up the river
Tu peux me renvoyer en amont du fleuve
Or send me to that mean old jail
Ou me renvoyer dans cette vieille prison méchante
You can send me up the river
Tu peux me renvoyer en amont du fleuve
Or send me to that mean old jail
Ou me renvoyer dans cette vieille prison méchante
I killed my man and I don't need no bail
J'ai tué mon homme et je n'ai pas besoin de caution
