Lyrics and translation Charlie Shavers - Mound Bayou (Original Mix)

Mound Bayou (Original Mix)

Cryin' on my pillow

Je pleure sur mon oreiller

Droopin' like a willow

Je suis penché comme un saule

I feel just like a fish that's cast upon the shore

Je me sens comme un poisson échoué sur le rivage

Waitin' for the tide to take it home once more

J'attends que la marée le ramène à la maison

Though asleep or wakin'

Que je dorme ou que je sois réveillé

My poor heart keeps achin'

Mon pauvre cœur continue de me faire mal

When you see me walkin' with my head way down

Quand tu me vois marcher la tête baissée

It's because I miss my Mississippi town

C'est parce que mon Mississippi me manque

Mound Bayou

I feel blue and all in

Je me sens triste et déprimé

Mound Bayou

I can hear you callin'

Je t'entends m'appeler

All my friends are lucky to be way back there

Tous mes amis ont de la chance d'être là-bas

If they knew what I've been through, they'd stay back there

S'ils savaient ce que j'ai enduré, ils resteraient là-bas

Mound Bayou

Got to cover ground for

Je dois parcourir beaucoup de chemin pour

Mound Bayou

That's the town I'm bound for

C'est la ville où je me dirige

Wish my arms were long enough, here's what I'd do

J'aimerais que mes bras soient assez longs, voici ce que je ferais

I'd reach and wrap them gently round my Mound Bayou

Je les tendrais et les enroulerais doucement autour de mon Mound Bayou

Mound Bayou

I feel blue and all in

Je me sens triste et déprimé

Mound Bayou

I can hear you callin'

Je t'entends m'appeler

All my friends are lucky to be way back there

Tous mes amis ont de la chance d'être là-bas

If they knew what I've been through, they'd stay back there

S'ils savaient ce que j'ai enduré, ils resteraient là-bas

Mound Bayou

Got to cover ground for

Je dois parcourir beaucoup de chemin pour

Mound Bayou

That's the town I'm bound for

C'est la ville où je me dirige

Wish my arms were long enough, here's what I'd do

J'aimerais que mes bras soient assez longs, voici ce que je ferais

I'd reach and wrap them gently round my Mound Bayou

Je les tendrais et les enroulerais doucement autour de mon Mound Bayou
