Lyrics and translation Gram Parsons - Streets of Baltimore - Alternate Version

Streets of Baltimore - Alternate Version

Les rues de Baltimore - Version alternative

One, two, one, two...

Un, deux, un, deux...

Well I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be

J'ai vendu la ferme pour t'emmener là où tu voulais aller

We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee

On a laissé notre famille et tous nos amis là-bas dans le Tennessee

And I bought those one way tickets she had often begged me for

J'ai acheté ces billets aller simple que tu m'as souvent supplié d'avoir

And they took us to the streets of Baltimore

Et ils nous ont emmenés dans les rues de Baltimore

Well her heart was filled with gladness when she saw those city lights

Ton cœur était rempli de joie quand tu as vu ces lumières de la ville

She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night

Tu as dit que le plus bel endroit sur terre était Baltimore la nuit

Well a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for

Un homme se sent fier d'offrir à sa femme ce qu'elle désire

And I kinda liked the streets of Baltimore

Et j'aimais bien les rues de Baltimore

Then I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine

J'ai trouvé un travail d'usine, je faisais fonctionner une vieille machine

And I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene

Et j'ai acheté un petit chalet dans un quartier paisible

Then every night, when I'd come home with every muscle sore

Puis chaque soir, quand je rentrais à la maison, avec tous mes muscles endoloris

She'd drag me through the streets of Baltimore

Tu me traînais dans les rues de Baltimore

Well I did my best to bring her back to what she used to be

J'ai fait de mon mieux pour te ramener à ce que tu étais

Then I soon learned she loved those bright lights more than she loved me

J'ai vite compris que tu aimais ces lumières vives plus que moi

Now I'ma going back on that same train that brought me here before

Maintenant, je vais remonter dans le même train qui m'a amené ici avant

While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore

Alors que ma chérie se promène dans les rues de Baltimore

While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore

Alors que ma chérie se promène dans les rues de Baltimore
