Lyrics and translation Grateful Dead - Greatest Story Ever Told
Greatest Story Ever Told
La plus belle histoire jamais racontée
Moses
come
ridin′
up
on
a
quasar
Moïse
est
arrivé
en
chevauchant
un
quasar
His
spurs
were
jingling,
the
door
was
ajar
Ses
éperons
tintinnabulaient,
la
porte
était
entrouverte
His
buckle
was
silver,
his
manner
was
bold
Sa
boucle
était
en
argent,
son
attitude
était
audacieuse
And
I
asked
him
to
come
in
out
of
the
cold.
Et
je
lui
ai
demandé
d'entrer
pour
se
mettre
à
l'abri
du
froid.
His
brain
was
boiling,
his
reason
was
spent
Son
cerveau
bouillonnait,
sa
raison
était
épuisée
Nothing
is
borrowed,
nothing
is
lent
Rien
n'est
emprunté,
rien
n'est
prêté
I
asked
him
for
mercy,
He
gave
he
gave
me
a
gun.
Je
lui
ai
demandé
de
la
pitié,
il
m'a
donné
un
pistolet.
Now
and
again
these
things
just
got
to
be
done.
De
temps
en
temps,
ces
choses
doivent
être
faites.
Abraham
and
Isaac
sitting
on
a
fence
Abraham
et
Isaac
assis
sur
une
clôture
You'd
get
right
to
work
if
you
had
any
sense
Tu
te
mettrais
au
travail
si
tu
avais
un
peu
de
bon
sens
You
know
the
one
thing
we
need
is
a
left-hand
monkey
wrench.
Tu
sais,
la
seule
chose
dont
nous
avons
besoin,
c'est
d'une
clé
à
molette
gauche.
Gideon
come
up
with
his
eyes
on
the
floor
Gideon
est
arrivé
les
yeux
au
sol
Said
"You
ain′t
got
a
hinge,
you
can't
close
the
door."
Il
a
dit
"Tu
n'as
pas
de
charnière,
tu
ne
peux
pas
fermer
la
porte."
Moses
stood
up
a
full
six
foot
ten
Moïse
s'est
levé
d'une
hauteur
de
six
pieds
dix
Said
"You
can't
close
the
door
when
the
wall′s
caved
in."
Il
a
dit
"Tu
ne
peux
pas
fermer
la
porte
quand
le
mur
s'est
effondré."
Ask
him
for
water,
he
poured
me
some
wine
Demande-lui
de
l'eau,
il
m'a
versé
du
vin
We
finished
the
bottle
and
broke
into
mine.
On
a
fini
la
bouteille
et
on
a
cassé
la
mienne.
You
get
what
you
come
for,
ya
ready
to
go
Tu
obtiens
ce
pour
quoi
tu
viens,
tu
es
prêt
à
y
aller
Well,
it′s
one
in
ten
thousand
that
come
for
the
show.
Eh
bien,
c'est
un
sur
dix
mille
qui
viennent
pour
le
spectacle.
Abraham
and
Isaac
diggin'
on
a
well
Abraham
et
Isaac
creusent
un
puits
Mama
came
quick
with
the
water
witch
spell
Maman
est
arrivée
vite
avec
le
sort
de
la
baguette
magique
Well
cool
clear
water
well
you
can′t
ever
tell.
Eh
bien,
de
l'eau
claire
et
fraîche,
tu
ne
peux
jamais
dire.
