Lyrics and translation Bob Dylan - Thirsty Boots (Self Portrait)




Thirsty Boots (Self Portrait)
Bottes assoiffées (Autoportrait)
You've long been on
Tu es depuis longtemps sur
The open road,
La route ouverte,
Sleepin' in the rain
Dormir sous la pluie
From dirty words
Des mots sales
And muddy cells,
Et des cellules boueuses,
Your clothes
Tes vêtements
Are smeared and stained
Sont tachés et maculés
But the dirty words and muddy cells
Mais les mots sales et les cellules boueuses
Will soon be judged insane
Seront bientôt jugés fous
So only stop to rest yourself
Alors arrête-toi juste pour te reposer
Til you are off again
Jusqu'à ce que tu reparte
And take off
Et enlève
Your thirsty boots and stay
Tes bottes assoiffées et reste
For a while
Un moment
Your feet are hot and weary
Tes pieds sont chauds et fatigués
From a dusty mile
D'un mile poussiéreux
And maybe I can
Et peut-être que je peux
Make you laugh, maybe I can try
Te faire rire, peut-être que je peux essayer
I'm just lookin' for the evening
Je cherche juste le soir
The morning in your eyes
Le matin dans tes yeux
But tell me of the ones you saw
Mais dis-moi des gens que tu as vus
As far as you could see
Aussi loin que tu pouvais voir
Across the plain from fields
À travers la plaine des champs
To town a-marchin' to be free
Vers la ville qui marche pour être libre
And of the rusted prison gates
Et des portes de prison rouillées
That tumbled by decree
Qui sont tombées par décret
Like laughin' children one by one
Comme des enfants qui rient un à un
They looked like you and me
Ils ressemblaient à toi et à moi
So take off
Alors enlève
Your thirsty boots and stay
Tes bottes assoiffées et reste
For a while
Un moment
Your feet are hot and weary
Tes pieds sont chauds et fatigués
From a dusty mile
D'un mile poussiéreux
And maybe I can
Et peut-être que je peux
Make you laugh, maybe I can try
Te faire rire, peut-être que je peux essayer
I'm just lookin' for the evening
Je cherche juste le soir
And the morning in your eyes
Et le matin dans tes yeux
I know you are no stranger down
Je sais que tu n'es pas une étrangère en bas
The crooked rainbow trails
Les sentiers de l'arc-en-ciel tordu
From dancing cliff-edged
De la danse de la falaise
Shattered sills of slander
Seuil brisé de la calomnie
Shackled jails
Geôles enchaînées
For the voices drift up from
Car les voix dérivent de
Below as the walls are being scaled
Ci-dessous alors que les murs sont escaladés
Yes, all of this and more, my friends
Oui, tout cela et plus encore, mes amis
Your song shall not be failed
Votre chanson ne sera pas ratée
So take off
Alors enlève
Your thirsty boots and stay
Tes bottes assoiffées et reste
For a while
Un moment
Your feet are hot and weary
Tes pieds sont chauds et fatigués
From a dusty mile
D'un mile poussiéreux
And maybe I can
Et peut-être que je peux
Make you laugh, maybe I can try
Te faire rire, peut-être que je peux essayer
I'm just lookin' for the evening
Je cherche juste le soir
The morning in your eyes
Le matin dans tes yeux
Yes, you've long been on
Oui, tu es depuis longtemps sur
The open road,
La route ouverte,
Just sleepin' in the rain
Dormir juste sous la pluie
From dirty words
Des mots sales
And muddy cells,
Et des cellules boueuses,
Your clothes
Tes vêtements
Are smeared and stained
Sont tachés et maculés
But the dirty words and muddy
Mais les mots sales et boueux
Cells will soon
Les cellules seront bientôt
Be hid in shame
Caché dans la honte
So only stop to rest yourself
Alors arrête-toi juste pour te reposer
Til you'll be off again
Jusqu'à ce que tu reparte
So take off
Alors enlève
Your thirsty boots and stay
Tes bottes assoiffées et reste
For a while
Un moment
Your feet are hot and weary
Tes pieds sont chauds et fatigués
From a dusty mile
D'un mile poussiéreux
And maybe I can
Et peut-être que je peux
Make you laugh, maybe I can try
Te faire rire, peut-être que je peux essayer
I'm just lookin' for the evening
Je cherche juste le soir
The morning in your eyes
Le matin dans tes yeux
