Lyrics and translation Evan Dando - The Ballad of El Goodo
Years
ago
my
heart
was
set
to
live,
oh
Il
y
a
des
années,
mon
cœur
était
prêt
à
vivre,
oh
And
I've
been
trying
hard
against
unblievable
odds
Et
j'ai
essayé
dur
contre
des
obstacles
incroyables
Gets
so
hard
at
times
like
now
to
hold
on
C'est
tellement
dur
par
moments
comme
maintenant
de
tenir
bon
Guns
they
wait
to
be
stuck
by
Les
armes
attendent
d'être
prises
That
my
side
is
gone
Que
mon
côté
est
parti
And
there
ain't
noone
going
to
turn
me
around
Et
personne
ne
va
me
faire
changer
d'avis
There
ain't
no
one
going
to
turn
me
around
Personne
ne
va
me
faire
changer
d'avis
People
around
you
tell
you
that
they
know
Les
gens
autour
de
toi
te
disent
qu'ils
savent
The
places
they've
been
to
and
it's
easy
to
go
Les
endroits
où
ils
sont
allés
et
c'est
facile
d'y
aller
They'll
zip
you
up
and
dress
you
down
and
stand
you
in
a
room
Ils
vont
te
refermer
et
te
déshabiller
et
te
mettre
dans
une
pièce
You
know
you
don't
have
to
Tu
sais
que
tu
n'as
pas
à
le
faire
You
can
just
say
no
Tu
peux
juste
dire
non
And
they're
ain't
no
one
going
to
turn
me
around
Et
il
n'y
a
personne
qui
va
me
faire
changer
d'avis
There
ain't
no
one
going
to
turn
me
around
Personne
ne
va
me
faire
changer
d'avis
There
ain't
no
one
going
to
turn
me
around
Personne
ne
va
me
faire
changer
d'avis
There
ain't
no
one
going
to
turn
me
around
Personne
ne
va
me
faire
changer
d'avis
I've
been
built
up
and
trusted
J'ai
été
construit
et
j'ai
fait
confiance
Broke
down
and
busted
Brisé
et
défoncé
They'll
get
theirs
and
we'll
get
ours
Ils
auront
le
leur
et
nous
aurons
le
nôtre
If
you
can
just
hold
on,
hold
on,
hold
on,
hold
on
Si
tu
peux
juste
tenir
bon,
tenir
bon,
tenir
bon,
tenir
bon

And

odds
Et

Gets

C'est

de

bon
Gonna
fall
if
I
dont
fight
Je
vais
tomber
si
je
ne
me
bats
pas
That
my

is
gone
Que
mon

est
