Lyrics and translation Billy Joel - The Downeaster "Alexa" (Remastered)




The Downeaster "Alexa" (Remastered)
The Downeaster "Alexa" (Remastered)
Well I′m on the Downeaster "Alexa"
J'suis sur le Downeaster "Alexa"
I am cruising through Block Island Sound
J'vogue à travers Block Island Sound
I have chartered a course to the Vineyard
J'ai tracé ma route vers le Vineyard
But tonight I am Nantucket bound
Mais ce soir, je vais à Nantucket
We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday
On a fait le plein de diesel à Montauk hier
And left this morning from the bell in Gardner's Bay
Et on est partis ce matin de la cloche dans la baie de Gardner
Like all the locals here I′ve had to sell my home
Comme tous les habitants d'ici, j'ai vendre ma maison
Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the bone
Trop fier pour partir, j'ai travaillé dur jusqu'à l'os
So I could own my Downeaster "Alexa"
Pour pouvoir posséder mon Downeaster "Alexa"
And I go where the ocean is deep
Et je vais l'océan est profond
There are giants out there in the canyons
Il y a des géants là-bas dans les canyons
And a good captain can't fall asleep
Et un bon capitaine ne peut pas s'endormir
I've got bills to pay and children who need clothes
J'ai des factures à payer et des enfants qui ont besoin de vêtements
I know there′s fish out there but where God only knows
Je sais qu'il y a du poisson là-bas, mais Dieu seul sait
They say these waters aren′t what they used to be
Ils disent que ces eaux ne sont plus ce qu'elles étaient
But I've got people back on land who count on me
Mais j'ai des gens sur terre qui comptent sur moi
So if you see my Downeaster "Alexa"
Alors si tu vois mon Downeaster "Alexa"
And if you work with the rod and the reel
Et si tu travailles avec la canne et le moulinet
Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis
Dis à ma femme que je traîne dans l'Atlantide
And I still have my hands on the wheel
Et que j'ai toujours les mains sur le volant
Now I drive my Downeaster "Alexa"
Maintenant, je conduis mon Downeaster "Alexa"
More and more miles from shore every year
De plus en plus loin du rivage chaque année
Since they told me I can′t sell no stripers
Depuis qu'on m'a dit que je ne pouvais plus vendre de bars rayés
And there's no luck in swordfishing here
Et qu'il n'y a pas de chance dans la pêche à l'espadon ici
I was a bayman like my father was before
J'étais un pêcheur de baie comme mon père avant moi
Can′t make a living as a bayman anymore
On ne peut plus vivre comme un pêcheur de baie
There ain't much future for a man who works the sea
Il n'y a pas beaucoup d'avenir pour un homme qui travaille dans la mer
But there ain′t no island left for islanders like me
Mais il n'y a plus d'île pour les insulaires comme moi
