Lyrics and translation Creedence Clearwater Revived - Old man down the road

Old man down the road

He take the thunder from the mountain
He take the lightning from the sky
He bring the strong man
To His begging knee
He make the young girl′s mama cry.

You got to hidey-hide
You got to jump and run
You got to hidey-hidey-hide
The Old Man, Is Down The Road.

He got the voices speak in riddles
He got the eye as black as coal
He got a suitcase covered
With rattlesnake hide
And He stands right in the road.

You got to hidey-hide
You got to jump up run away
You got to hidey-hidey-hide
The Old Man, Is Down The Road.

He make the river call Your Lover
He make the barking of the hound
Put a shadow 'cross the winner
When The Old Man Comes Around.

You got to hidey-hide
You got to jump and run again
You got to hidey-hidey-hide
The Old Man, Is Down The Road.

The Old Man, Is Down The Road.

Un vieil homme sur la route

Il prend le tonnerre de la montagne
Il prend la foudre du ciel
Il amène l'homme fort
À Ses genoux suppliants
Il fait pleurer la mère de la jeune fille.

Tu dois te cacher
Tu dois sauter et courir
Tu dois te cacher
Le vieil homme, est sur la route.

Il a les voix qui parlent en énigmes
Il a les yeux aussi noirs que le charbon
Il a une valise couverte
De peau de serpent à sonnette
Et il se tient debout sur la route.

Tu dois te cacher
Tu dois sauter et t'enfuir
Tu dois te cacher
Le vieil homme, est sur la route.

Il fait appeler la rivière Ton Amoureux
Il fait aboyer le chien
Mettre une ombre sur le gagnant
Quand le vieil homme arrive.

Tu dois te cacher
Tu dois sauter et courir encore
Tu dois te cacher
Le vieil homme, est sur la route.

Le vieil homme, est sur la route.
