Lyrics and translation Grateful Dead - Mama Tried [Live at Convention Hall, San Diego, CA, August 7, 1971]




Mama Tried [Live at Convention Hall, San Diego, CA, August 7, 1971]
Maman a essayé [Live au Convention Hall, San Diego, CA, 7 août 1971]
The first I remember knowin′
Le premier souvenir que j’ai
Was that lonesome whistle blowin'
C’est ce sifflement solitaire qui sonnait
And a youngin′s dream
Et le rêve d’un jeune
Of growin' up to ride
Qui grandissait pour monter
On a freight train leavin' town
Sur un train de marchandises quittant la ville
Not knowin′ where I was bound
Ne sachant pas j’allais
No one could steer me right
Personne ne pouvait me mettre sur le droit chemin
But mama tried
Mais maman a essayé
Was the only rebel child
J’étais le seul enfant rebelle
From a family meek and mild
D’une famille douce et tranquille
Mama seemed to know
Maman semblait savoir
What lay in store
Ce qui m’attendait
In spite of all my
Malgré tous mes
Sunday learnin′
Apprentissages du dimanche
For the bad I kept on turnin'
Je continuais de mal tourner
And mama couldn′t hold me anymore
Et maman ne pouvait plus me retenir
And I turned 21 in prison
J’ai eu 21 ans en prison
Doin' life without parole
Purgeant une peine à perpétuité
No one could steer me right
Personne ne pouvait me mettre sur le droit chemin
But mama tried, mama tried
Mais maman a essayé, maman a essayé
Mama tried to raise me better
Maman a essayé de me faire grandir mieux
But her pleadin′ I denied
Mais ses supplications, je les ai refusées
That leaves no one but me to blame
Il ne reste que moi à blâmer
'Cause mama tried
Parce que maman a essayé
Dear old daddy rest his soul
Mon cher papa, que son âme repose en paix
Left my mom a heavy load
A laissé à maman un lourd fardeau
She tried so very hard
Elle a essayé si fort
To fill his shoes
De remplir ses chaussures
Workin′ hours without rest
Travaillant des heures sans repos
Wanted me to have the best
Elle voulait que j’aie le meilleur
Oh, she tried to raise me right
Oh, elle a essayé de me faire grandir correctement
But I refused
Mais j’ai refusé
And I turned 21 in prison
J’ai eu 21 ans en prison
Doin' life without parole
Purgeant une peine à perpétuité
No one could steer me right
Personne ne pouvait me mettre sur le droit chemin
But mama tried, mama tried
Mais maman a essayé, maman a essayé
Mama tried to raise me better
Maman a essayé de me faire grandir mieux
But her pleadin' I denied
Mais ses supplications, je les ai refusées
That leaves no one but me to blame
Il ne reste que moi à blâmer
′Cause mama tried
Parce que maman a essayé
And I turned 21 in prison
J’ai eu 21 ans en prison
Doin′ life without parole
Purgeant une peine à perpétuité
No one could steer me right
Personne ne pouvait me mettre sur le droit chemin
But mama tried, mama tried
Mais maman a essayé, maman a essayé
Mama tried to raise me better
Maman a essayé de me faire grandir mieux
But her pleadin' I denied
Mais ses supplications, je les ai refusées
That leaves no one but me to blame
Il ne reste que moi à blâmer
′Cause mama tried
Parce que maman a essayé
That leaves no one but me to blame
Il ne reste que moi à blâmer
'Cause mama tried
Parce que maman a essayé
