Look
for
a
while
at
the
China
Cat
sunflower,
Regarde
un
moment
le
tournesol
China
Cat,
Proud
walking
jingle
in
the
midnight
sun.
Fier
jingle
marchant
au
soleil
de
minuit.
Copperdome

bodhi
goutte
un
kimono
d'argent,
Like
a
crazy
quilt
stargown
through
a
dream
night
wind.
Comme
une
étoile
de
courtepointe
folle
à
travers
un
vent
de
nuit
de
rêve.
Crazy
cat
peekin′
through
a
lace
bandanna,
Chat
fou
regardant
à
travers
un
bandana
en
dentelle,
Like
a
one-eyed
Cheshire,
like
a
diamond-eye
jack.
Comme
un
Cheshire
borgne,
comme
un
valet
aux
yeux
de
diamant.
A
leaf
of
all
colors
plays
a
golden-string
fiddle,
Une
feuille
de
toutes
les
couleurs
joue
d'un
violon
à
cordes
d'or,
To
a
double-E
waterfall
over
my
back.
Vers
une
cascade
double-E
sur
mon
dos.

I
rang
a
silent
bell,
beneath
a
shower
of
pearls,
J'ai
sonné
une
cloche
silencieuse,
sous
une
pluie
de
perles,
In
the
eagle-winged
palace
of
the
Queen
Chinee.
Dans
le
palais
à
ailes
d'aigle
de
la
reine
Chinee.
I
know
you,

gone;
Je

tu
vas
me
manquer
quand
je
serai
parti
;

arms.
Tu

manquer
à
ton
bébé,
de
rouler
dans
tes
bras.
Laid
down
last
night,
Lord,
I
could
not
take
my
rest;
Je
me
suis
couché
hier
soir,
Seigneur,
je
n'ai
pas
pu
me
reposer
;

mind
was
wandering
like
the
wild
geese
in
the
West.

esprit
errait

oies
sauvages
à
l'Ouest.
The

will
blow
all
my
troubles
away.
Les
vents

mars
souffleront
tous
mes
soucis.
I
wish
I

I'd
shine
my
light
through
cool
Colorado
rain.
Je
ferais
briller
ma
lumière
à
travers
la
pluie
fraîche
du
Colorado.
I
