Lyrics and translation Bobbie Gentry - The Conspiracy Of Homer Jones




The Conspiracy Of Homer Jones
La Conspiration d'Homer Jones
Homer Jones was a man who loved his black-eyed peas and cornbread
Homer Jones était un homme qui aimait ses pois noirs et son pain de maïs
He loved to plow the earth and go huntin′ with all his hound dogs
Il aimait labourer la terre et aller chasser avec tous ses chiens
With a three-day grey beard on his face at the break down of dawn he'd put his overalls on
Avec une barbe grise de trois jours sur le visage, à l'aube, il mettait sa salopette
Throw corn to the chickens, milk the cows and then feed the hogs
Il jetait du maïs aux poules, traiyait les vaches, puis nourrissait les porcs
He had a young wife who had a dull life and a hired hand who was a handsome man
Il avait une jeune femme qui menait une vie monotone et un employé qui était un bel homme
And it didn′t take long for them to love one another
Et il ne fallut pas longtemps pour qu'ils s'aiment
But it didn't take long for Homer Jones to become a bachelor
Mais il ne fallut pas longtemps pour qu'Homer Jones devienne célibataire
With jealousy in one eye and satisfaction in the other
Avec de la jalousie dans un œil et de la satisfaction dans l'autre
The wisdom of his neighbors had been self-ordained
La sagesse de ses voisins était autoproclamée
And Homer had them mumblin' in confusion ev′r′ Monday
Et Homer les faisait marmonner dans la confusion tous les lundis
'Cause Homer got his wagon out and then hitched up his favorite mule
Car Homer sortait son chariot, puis attelait sa mule préférée
And always went to church with them on Sunday
Et il allait toujours à l'église avec eux le dimanche
Then, one day the high sheriff came, told Homer that there′d been many complaints
Puis, un jour, le shérif est arrivé, disant à Homer qu'il y avait eu de nombreuses plaintes
About the disappearance of the hired hand and Homer's missus
Au sujet de la disparition de l'employé et de la femme d'Homer
With total confusion on the sheriff′s face he took one last look and left Homer's place
Avec une confusion totale sur le visage du shérif, il jeta un dernier regard et quitta la maison d'Homer
And Homer just grinned and hummed and went about his business
Et Homer sourit et fredonna, puis s'est occupé de ses affaires
Things at the county thought they knew where the things they knew that they couldn′t prove
Les gens du comté pensaient savoir étaient les choses qu'ils savaient qu'ils ne pouvaient pas prouver
And the gossipin' tongues of the curious grew much longer
Et les langues bavardes des curieux sont devenues beaucoup plus longues
They kept lookin' for somethin′ they couldn′t find 'cause the structure of their simple minds
Ils ont continué à chercher quelque chose qu'ils ne pouvaient pas trouver parce que la structure de leurs esprits simples
Couldn′t cope with the intellectual thoughts of Homer
Ne pouvait pas faire face aux pensées intellectuelles d'Homer
The wisdom of his neighbors had been self-ordained
La sagesse de ses voisins était autoproclamée
And Homer had them mumblin' in confusion ev′r' Monday
Et Homer les faisait marmonner dans la confusion tous les lundis
′Cause Homer got his wagon out and then hitched up his favorite mule
Car Homer sortait son chariot, puis attelait sa mule préférée
And always went to church with them on Sunday
Et il allait toujours à l'église avec eux le dimanche
Homer Jones was a cautious man superior to the inferior plan
Homer Jones était un homme prudent, supérieur au plan inférieur
Of findin' dirt on his hands from unrighteous labor
De trouver de la saleté sur ses mains provenant d'un travail injuste
Every day Sister May dropped by his place lookin' for the answer on Homer′s face
Chaque jour, sœur May passait chez lui, cherchant la réponse sur le visage d'Homer
But he′d scramble her mind when he'd smile and say "Howdy, neighbor"
Mais il la décontenançait quand il souriait et disait "Bonjour, voisin"
Then late at night when the ground was damp old Homer would swing his kerosene lamp
Puis tard dans la nuit, lorsque le sol était humide, le vieux Homer balançait sa lampe à kérosène
Makin′ sure that they could see and hear his revengeful laughter
S'assurant qu'ils puissent voir et entendre son rire vengeur
The hound dogs knew what Homer'd done, they howled and whined
Les chiens savaient ce qu'Homer avait fait, ils hurlaient et gémissaient
But couldn′t tell no one, so the congregation wouldn't find what they were after
Mais ils ne pouvaient rien dire, afin que la congrégation ne trouve pas ce qu'elle cherchait
The wisdom of his neighbors had been self-ordained
La sagesse de ses voisins était autoproclamée
And Homer had them mumblin′ in confusion ev'r' Monday
Et Homer les faisait marmonner dans la confusion tous les lundis
′Cause Homer got his wagon out and then hitched up his favorite mule
Car Homer sortait son chariot, puis attelait sa mule préférée
And always went to church with them on Sunday
Et il allait toujours à l'église avec eux le dimanche
Hah
Hah
