Lyrics and translation Elton Britt - Uranium Fever
Well,
I
don't
know,
but
I've
been
told
Eh
bien,
ma
chérie,
je
ne
sais
pas,
mais
on
m'a
dit
Uranium
ore's
worth
more
than
gold
Que
le
minerai
d'uranium
vaut
plus
que
l'or
Sold
my
Cad',
I
bought
me
a
Jeep
J'ai
vendu
ma
Cadillac,
je
me
suis
acheté
une
Jeep
I've
got
that
bug
and
I
can't
sleep
J'ai
attrapé
le
virus
et
je
n'arrive
pas
à
dormir
Uranium
fever
has
done
and
got
me
down
La
fièvre
de
l'uranium
m'a
terrassé
Uranium
fever,
it's
spreadin'
all
around
La
fièvre
de
l'uranium
se
propage
partout
With
a
Geiger
counter
in
my
hand
Avec
un
compteur
Geiger
à
la
main
I'm
a-goin'
out
to
stake
me
some
government
land
Je
vais
aller
me
réserver
des
terres
du
gouvernement
Uranium
fever
has
done
and
got
me
down
La
fièvre
de
l'uranium
m'a
terrassé
Well,
I
had
talk
with
the
AEC
Eh
bien,
j'ai
parlé
avec
la
CEA
And
they
brought
out
some
maps
that
looked
good
to
me
Et
ils
ont
sorti
des
cartes
qui
m'avaient
l'air
bien
And
one
showed
me
a
spot
that
he
said
he
knowed
Et
l'une
d'elles
m'a
montré
un
endroit
qu'il
connaissait,
disait-il
So,
I
straddled
my
Jeep
and
headed
down
the
road
Alors,
j'ai
enfourché
ma
Jeep
et
j'ai
pris
la
route
I
reckon
I
drove
about
100
miles
Je
crois
que
j'ai
roulé
environ
160
kilomètres
Down
a
bumpy
road
out
through
the
wilds
Sur
une
route
cahoteuse
à
travers
les
étendues
sauvages
When
all
of
sudden
I
bounced
to
a
stop
Quand
soudain,
j'ai
fait
un
arrêt
brutal
At
the
foot
of
a
mountain,
didn't
have
no
top
Au
pied
d'une
montagne
sans
sommet
Uranium
fever
has
done
and
got
me
down
La
fièvre
de
l'uranium
m'a
terrassé
Uranium
fever
it's
spreadin'
all
around
La
fièvre
de

se
propage

Avec

à

Uranium

down
La
fièvre

terrassé
Well,
I
took
my
Geiger
and
I
started
to
climb
Eh
bien,
j'ai
pris
mon
Geiger
et
j'ai
commencé
à
grimper
Right
up
to
the
top
where
I
thought
I'd
find
Jusqu'au
sommet
où
je
pensais
trouver
A
hunk
of
rock
that
would
make
it
click
Un
morceau
de
roche
qui
le
ferait
cliqueter
Just
like
I'd
read
about
Vernon
Pick
Comme
j'avais
lu
à
propos
de
Vernon
Pick
On
the
second
day,
I
made
the
top
Le
deuxième
jour,
j'ai
atteint
le
sommet
And
I'm
tellin'
you,
Steve,
I
was
ready
to
stop
Et
je
te
le
dis,
ma
belle,
j'étais
prêt
à
m'arrêter
The
only
clickin'
that
I
heard
that
day
Le
seul
cliquetis
que
j'ai
entendu
ce
jour-là
Was
the
bones
in
my
back
that
had
gone
astray
C'était
les
os
de
mon
dos
qui
étaient
de
travers

Into
