Waiting For The Man - Sounds of the 70s - Bob Harris Recorded 18.1.72, 2000 Remastered Version

J'attends mon homme - Sounds of the 70s - Bob Harris enregistré le 18.1.72, version remasterisée 2000

I'm waiting for my man

J'attends mon homme

Twenty-six dollars in my hand

Vingt-six dollars en main

Up to Lexington, 125

Jusqu'à Lexington, 125

Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive

Je me sens malade et sale, plus mort que vivant

I'm waiting for my man

J'attends mon homme

Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?

Hé, blanc, qu'est-ce que tu fais en ville ?

Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around?

Hé, blanc, tu cours après nos femmes ?

Oh pardon me sir, it's the furthest from my mind

Oh pardonnez-moi monsieur, c'est le dernier de mes soucis

I'm just lookin' for a dear, dear friend of mine

Je cherche juste une chère, chère amie à moi

I'm waiting for my man

J'attends mon homme

Here he comes, he's all dressed in black

Le voilà, il est tout habillé en noir

Beat up shoes and a big straw hat

Des chaussures abîmées et un grand chapeau de paille

He's never early, he's always late

Il n'est jamais en avance, il est toujours en retard

First thing you learn is you always gotta wait I'm waiting for my man

La première chose que tu apprends, c'est que tu dois toujours attendre, j'attends mon homme

Up to a Brownstone, up three flights of stairs

Jusqu'à une maison en briques rouges, trois étages en haut

Everybody's pinned you, but nobody cares

Tout le monde t'a cloué, mais personne ne s'en soucie

He's got the works, gives you sweet taste

Il a tout ce qu'il faut, il te donne un goût sucré

Ah then you gotta split because you got no time to waste

Ah, puis tu dois partir parce que tu n'as pas de temps à perdre

I'm waiting for my man

J'attends mon homme

Baby don't you holler, darlin' don't you bawl and shout

Bébé, ne hurle pas, chérie, ne pleure pas et ne crie pas

I'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna work it on out

Je me sens bien, tu sais que je vais tout arranger

I'm feeling good, I'm feeling oh so fine

Je me sens bien, je me sens si bien

Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time

Jusqu'à demain, mais c'est une autre histoire

I'm waiting for my man

J'attends mon homme
