Lyrics and translation Bob Dylan - East Virginia Blues (with Earl Scruggs) [Mono]

East Virginia Blues (with Earl Scruggs) [Mono]

East Virginia Blues (avec Earl Scruggs) [Mono]

I was born in East Virginia

Je suis né en Virginie orientale

North Carolina I did roam

J'ai erré en Caroline du Nord

There I met the fairest maiden

J'y ai rencontré la plus belle des jeunes filles

Name and age I did not know

Je ne connaissais ni son nom ni son âge

Her hair it was of the darkest color

Ses cheveux étaient de la couleur la plus foncée

Cheeks they were all ruby red

Ses joues étaient toutes rouges rubis

On her breast she wore white lilies

Sur sa poitrine, elle portait des lys blancs

There I longed to lay my head

J'ai eu envie d'y poser ma tête

I'd rather be on some dark holler

Je préférerais être dans un ravin sombre

Where the sun don't ever shine

Où le soleil ne brille jamais

And to see you love another

Et te voir aimer un autre

And to know you'll never be mine

Et savoir que tu ne seras jamais à moi

I don't want your green back dollar

Je ne veux pas ton billet vert

I don't want your diamond ring

Je ne veux pas ta bague en diamant

All I want is your love darling

Tout ce que je veux, c'est ton amour, chérie

Won't you take me back again

Ne veux-tu pas me reprendre ?

Won't you take me back again

Ne veux-tu pas me reprendre ?
