Ball and Chain (live: 1967-02-12: California Hall, San Francisco, CA, USA)
Ball and Chain (live: 1967-02-12: California Hall, San Francisco, CA, USA)
Yeah! Alright!
Oui ! D’accord !
Sittin' down by my window,
Je suis assise près de ma fenêtre,
Honey, lookin' out at the rain.
Mon chéri, je regarde la pluie.
Lord, Lord, Lord, sittin' down by my window,
Seigneur, Seigneur, Seigneur, je suis assise près de ma fenêtre,
Baby, lookin' out at the rain.
Mon bébé, je regarde la pluie.
Somethin' came along, grabbed a hold of me,
Quelque chose est arrivé, m’a attrapée,
And it felt just like a ball and chain.
Et ça me donnait l’impression d’une boule et d’une chaîne.
Honey, that's exactly what it felt like,
Mon chéri, c’est exactement ce que j’ai ressenti,
Honey, just dragging me down.
Mon chéri, ça me tirait vers le bas.
And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon', tell me why,
Et je dis, oh, oh, oh, maintenant chérie, dis-moi pourquoi,
Why does every single little tiny thing I hold on goes wrong?
Pourquoi chaque petite chose que je tiens s’en va mal ?
Yeah it all goes wrong, yeah.
Oui, tout va mal, oui.
And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now babe, tell me why,
Et je dis, oh, oh, oh, maintenant mon bébé, dis-moi pourquoi,
Why does every thing, every thing.
Pourquoi tout, tout.
Hey, here you gone today, I wanted to love you,
Hé, tu es parti aujourd’hui, je voulais t’aimer,
Honey, I just wanted to hold you, I said, for so long,
Mon chéri, je voulais juste te tenir dans mes bras, j’ai dit, pendant si longtemps,
Yeah! Alright! Hey!
Oui ! D’accord ! Hé !
Love's got a hold on me, baby,
L’amour me tient, bébé,
Feels just like a ball and chain.
C’est comme une boule et une chaîne.
Now, love's just draggin' me down, baby, yeah,
Maintenant, l’amour me tire vers le bas, bébé, oui,
Feels like a ball and chain.
C’est comme une boule et une chaîne.
I hope there's someone out there who could tell me
J’espère qu’il y a quelqu’un qui pourrait me dire
Why the man I love wanna leave me in so much pain.
Pourquoi l’homme que j’aime veut me laisser dans tant de douleur.
Yeah, maybe, maybe you could help me, come on, help me!
Oui, peut-être, peut-être que tu pourrais m’aider, vas-y, aide-moi !
And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon', tell me why,
Et je dis, oh, oh, oh, maintenant chérie, dis-moi pourquoi,
Now tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me why, yeah.
Maintenant dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi pourquoi, oui.
And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, when I ask you,
Et je dis, oh, oh, oh, oh, quand je te demande,
When I need to know why, c'mon tell me why, hey hey hey,
Quand j’ai besoin de savoir pourquoi, vas-y, dis-moi pourquoi, hé,
Here you've gone today,
Tu es parti aujourd’hui,
I wanted to love you and hold you
Je voulais t’aimer et te tenir dans mes bras
Till the day I die.
Jusqu’au jour de ma mort.
I said whoa, whoa, whoa!
J’ai dit oh, oh, oh !
And I say oh, whoa, whoa, no honey
Et je dis oh, oh, oh, non chérie
It ain't fair, daddy it ain't fair what you do,
Ce n’est pas juste, papa, ce n’est pas juste ce que tu fais,
I see what you're doin' to me and you know it ain't fair.
Je vois ce que tu me fais et tu sais que ce n’est pas juste.
And I say oh, whoa whoa now baby
Et je dis oh, oh oh maintenant mon bébé
It ain't fair, now, now, now, what you do
Ce n’est pas juste, maintenant, maintenant, maintenant, ce que tu fais
I said hon' it ain't fair what, hon' it ain't fair what you do.
J’ai dit chérie, ce n’est pas juste ce que, chérie, ce n’est pas juste ce que tu fais.
Oh, here you gone today and all I ever wanted to do
Oh, tu es parti aujourd’hui et tout ce que j’ai toujours voulu faire
Was to love you
C’était de t’aimer
Honey an' I think there can be nothing wrong with that,
Mon chéri, et je pense qu’il ne peut rien y avoir de mal à ça,
Only it ain't wrong, no, no, no, no, no.
Seulement ce n’est pas mal, non, non, non, non, non.
Sittin' down by my window,
Je suis assise près de ma fenêtre,
Lookin' at the rain.
Je regarde la pluie.
Lord, Lord, Lord, sittin' down by my window,
Seigneur, Seigneur, Seigneur, je suis assise près de ma fenêtre,
Lookin' at the rain, see the rain.
Je regarde la pluie, je vois la pluie.
Somethin' came along, grabbed a hold of me,
Quelque chose est arrivé, m’a attrapée,
And it felt like a ball and chain.
Et ça me donnait l’impression d’une boule et d’une chaîne.
Oh this can't be in vain
Oh, ça ne peut pas être en vain
And I'm gonna tell you one just more time, yeah, yeah!
Et je vais te le dire une fois de plus, oui, oui !
And I say oh, whoa whoa, now baby
Et je dis oh, oh oh, maintenant mon bébé
This can't be, no this can't be in vain,
Ça ne peut pas être, non ça ne peut pas être en vain,
And I say no no no no no no no no, whoa!
Et je dis non non non non non non non non, oh !
And I say whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Et je dis oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Now now now now now now now now now no no not in vain
Maintenant, maintenant, maintenant, maintenant, maintenant, maintenant, maintenant, maintenant, non non, pas en vain
Hey, hope there is someone that could tell me
Hé, j’espère qu’il y a quelqu’un qui pourrait me dire
Hon', tell me why,
Chérie, dis-moi pourquoi,
Hon', tell me why love is like
Chérie, dis-moi pourquoi l’amour est comme
Just like a ball
Juste comme une boule
Just like a ball
Juste comme une boule
Baaaaaaalllll
Baaaaaaaaalllll
Oh daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy
Oh papa, papa, papa, papa, papa, papa, papa, papa
And a chain.
Et une chaîne.
Yeah!
Oui !
