Lyrics and translation 10,000 Maniacs - Hey Jack Kerouac - Live: The Orpheum Theater, Boston, Mass. 29 April '88




Hey Jack Kerouac - Live: The Orpheum Theater, Boston, Mass. 29 April '88
Hey Jack Kerouac - Live: Le Théâtre Orpheum, Boston, Mass. 29 avril '88
Hey Jack Kerouac, I think of your mother
Hey Jack Kerouac, je pense à ta mère
And the tears she cried, they were criedfor none other
Et les larmes qu'elle a versées, elles ont été versées pour personne d'autre
Than her little boy lost in our little world that hated
Que son petit garçon perdu dans notre petit monde qui haïssait
And that dared to drag him down, her little boy courageous.
Et qui osait l'entraîner vers le bas, son petit garçon courageux.
Who chose his words from mouths of babes got lost in the wood.
Qui choisissait ses mots de la bouche des enfants et se perdait dans les bois.
Hip flask slinging madman, steaming cafe flirts.
Un fou qui portait une gourde, des flirts fumants dans un café.
They all spoke through you.
Ils ont tous parlé à travers toi.
Hey Jack, now for the tricky part,
Hey Jack, maintenant pour la partie délicate,
When you were the brightest star, who were the shadows?
Quand tu étais l'étoile la plus brillante, qui étaient les ombres?
Of the San Francisco beat boys you were the favorite.
Des beatniks de San Francisco, tu étais le préféré.
Now they sit and rattle their bones and think of their blood stoned days.
Maintenant, ils s'assoient et font tinter leurs os et pensent à leurs jours de pierre.
You chose your words from mouths of babes got lost in the wood.
Tu choisissais tes mots de la bouche des enfants et te perdais dans les bois.
The hip flask slinging madman, steaming cafe flirts,
Le fou qui portait une gourde, des flirts fumants dans un café,
In Chinatown howling at night.
Dans Chinatown, hurlant la nuit.
Allen baby, why so jaded?
Allen bébé, pourquoi si blasé?
Have the boys all grown up and their beauty faded?
Les garçons ont-ils tous grandi et leur beauté s'est-elle fanée?
Billy, what a saint they've made you,
Billy, quel saint ils ont fait de toi,
Just like Mary down in Mexico on All Souls' Day.
Tout comme Marie au Mexique le jour des morts.
You chose your words from mouths of babes got lost in the wood.
Tu choisissais tes mots de la bouche des enfants et te perdais dans les bois.
Cool junk booting madmen, street minded girls
Des fous cool qui se shootaient de la came, des filles avec l'esprit de la rue
In Harlem, howling at night.
À Harlem, hurlant la nuit.
What a tear stained shock of the world,
Quel choc teinté de larmes du monde,
You've gone away without saying goodbye.
Tu es parti sans dire au revoir.
