Lyrics and translation Bob Dylan - Absolutely Sweet Marie (Take 1, Alternate Take)
Well,
your
railroad
gate
Eh
bien,
ton
portail
de
chemin
de
fer
You
know
I
just
can't
jump
it
Tu
sais
que
je
ne
peux
pas
le
sauter
Sometimes
it
gets
so
hard,
you
see
Parfois,
c'est
tellement
difficile,
tu
vois
I'm
just
sitting
here
beating
on
my
trumpet
Je
suis
juste
assis
ici
à
frapper
ma
trompette
With
all
these
promises
you
left
for
me
Avec
toutes
ces
promesses
que
tu
m'as
laissées
But
where
are
you
tonight,
sweet
Marie?
Mais
où
es-tu
ce
soir,
douce
Marie
?
Well,
I
waited
for
you
when
I
was
half
sick
Eh
bien,
je
t'ai
attendu
quand
j'étais
à
moitié
malade
Yes,
I
waited
for
you
when
you
hated
me
Oui,
je
t'ai
attendu
quand
tu
me
détestais
Well,
I
waited
for
you
inside
of
the
frozen
traffic
Eh
bien,
je
t'ai
attendu
dans
le
trafic
glacial
When
you
knew
I
had
some
other
place
to
be
Quand
tu
savais
que
j'avais
autre
chose
à
faire
Now,
where
are
you
tonight,
sweet
Marie?
Maintenant,
où
es-tu
ce
soir,
douce
Marie
?
Well,
anybody
can
be
just
like
me,
obviously
Eh
bien,
n'importe
qui
peut
être
comme
moi,
évidemment
But
then,
now
again,
not
too
many
can
be
like
you,
fortunately
Mais
encore,
pas
beaucoup
peuvent
être
comme
toi,
heureusement
Well,
six
white
horses
that
you
did
promise
Eh
bien,
six
chevaux
blancs
que
tu
as
promis
Were
fin'lly
delivered
down
to
the
penitentiary
Ont
finalement
été
livrés
à
la
prison
But
to
live
outside
the
law,
you
must
be
honest
Mais
pour
vivre
en
dehors
de
la
loi,
il
faut
être
honnête
I
know
you
always
say
that
you
agree
Je
sais
que
tu
dis
toujours
que
tu
es
d'accord
Alright
so
where
are
you
tonight,
sweet
Marie?
Alors
où
es-tu
ce
soir,
douce
Marie
?
Well,
I
don't
know
how
it
happened,
but
the
Eh
bien,
je
ne
sais
pas
comment
c'est
arrivé,
mais
le
Riverboat
captain,
he
knows
my
fate
Capitaine
du
bateau
à
vapeur,
il
connaît
mon
destin
But
ev'rybody
else,
even
yourself
Mais
tout
le
monde,
même
toi-même
They're
just
gonna
have
to
wait
Ils
vont
juste
devoir
attendre
Well,
I
got
the
fever
down
in
my
pockets
Eh
bien,
j'ai
la
fièvre
dans
mes
poches
The
Persian
drunkard,
he
follows
me
L'ivrogne
persan,
il
me
suit
Yes,
I
can
take
him
to
your
house
but
I
can't
unlock
it
Oui,
je
peux
l'emmener
à
ton
domicile,
mais
je
ne
peux
pas
l'ouvrir
You
see,
you
forgot
to
leave
me
with
the
key
Tu
vois,
tu
as
oublié
de
me
laisser
la
clé
Oh,
where
are
you
tonight,
sweet
Marie?
Oh,
où
es-tu
ce
soir,
douce
Marie
?
Well
now,
I
been
in
jail
when
all
my
mail
showed
Eh
bien,
j'étais
en
prison
quand
tout
mon
courrier
a
montré
That
a
man
can't
give
his
address
out
to
bad
company
Qu'un
homme
ne
peut
pas
donner
son
adresse
à
la
mauvaise
compagnie
And
now
I
stand
here
lookin'
at
your
yellow
railroad
Et
maintenant,
je
suis
là,
à
regarder
ton
chemin
de
fer
jaune
In
the
ruins
of
your
balcony
Dans
les
ruines
de
votre
balcon
Wond'ring
where
you
are
tonight,
sweet
Marie
Je
me
demande
où
tu
es
ce
soir,
douce
Marie
