Lyrics and translation Bessie Smith - Long Old Road
It's
a
long
old
road,
but
I'm
gonna
find
the
end
C'est
un
long
chemin,
mais
je
vais
trouver
la
fin
It's
a
long
old
road,
but
I'm
gonna
find
the
end
C'est
un
long
chemin,
mais
je
vais
trouver
la
fin
And
when
I
get
there,
I'm
gonna
shake
hands
with
a
friend
Et
quand
j'y
arriverai,
je
serrerai
la
main
à
un
ami
On
the
side
of
the
road,
I
sat
underneath
a
tree
Au
bord
de
la
route,
je
me
suis
assise
sous
un
arbre
On
the
side
of
the
road,
I
sat
underneath
a
tree
Au
bord
de
la
route,
je
me
suis
assise
sous
un
arbre
Nobody
knows
the
thoughts
that
came
over
me
Personne
ne
sait
quelles
pensées
m'ont
traversé
l'esprit
Weepin'
and
cryin',
tears
fallin'
on
the
ground
Je
pleurais
et
je
criais,
les
larmes
coulaient
sur
le
sol
Weepin'
and
cryin',
tears
fallin'
on
the
ground
Je
pleurais
et
je
criais,
les
larmes
coulaient
sur
le
sol
When
I
got
to
the
end,
I
was
so
worried
down
Quand
j'ai
atteint
la
fin,
j'étais
tellement
découragée
He
took
me
back
baby,
and
I
tried
it
again
Il
m'a
ramenée,
mon
chéri,
et
j'ai
essayé
à
nouveau
He
took
me
back
baby,
and
I
tried
it
again
Il
m'a
ramenée,
mon
chéri,
et
j'ai
essayé
à
nouveau
I
got
to
make
it,
I've
got
to
find
the
end
Je
dois
y
arriver,
je
dois
trouver
la
fin
You
can't
trust
nobody,
you
might
as
well
be
alone
On
ne
peut
faire
confiance
à
personne,
autant
être
seule
You
can't
trust
nobody,
you
might
as
well
be
alone
On
ne
peut
faire
confiance
à
personne,
autant
être
seule
Found
my
long-lost
friend,
and
I
might
as
well
stayed
at
home
J'ai
trouvé
mon
ami
perdu
de
vue,
et
j'aurais
mieux
fait
de
rester
chez
moi
