Lyrics and translation Grateful Dead - Mama Tried [Live at Fillmore East, New York, NY, April 26, 1971]
Mama Tried [Live at Fillmore East, New York, NY, April 26, 1971]
Mama Tried [Live at Fillmore East, New York, NY, April 26, 1971]
The
first
I
remember
knowin′
La
première
chose
dont
je
me
souviens
Was
that
lonesome
whistle
blowin'
C'était
ce
sifflet
solitaire
qui
soufflait
And
a
youngin′s
dream
Et
le
rêve
d'un
jeune
homme
Of
growin'
up
to
ride
De
grandir
pour
prendre
On
a
freight
train
leavin'
town
Un
train
de
marchandises
quittant
la
ville
Not
knowin′
where
I
was
bound
Sans
savoir
où
j'allais
No
one
could
steer
me
right
Personne
ne
pouvait
me
guider
correctement
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
docile
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′
Enseignements
du
dimanche
For
the
bad
I
kept
on
turnin'
Je
continuais
à
tourner
vers
le
mal
And
mama
couldn′t
hold
me
anymore
Et
maman
ne
pouvait
plus
me
retenir
And
I
turned
21
in
prison
Et
j'ai
eu
21
ans
en
prison
Doin'
life
without
parole
Condamné
à
perpétuité
sans
libération
conditionnelle
No
one
could
steer
me
right
Personne
ne
pouvait
me
guider
correctement
But
mama
tried,
mama
tried
Mais
maman
a
essayé,
maman
a
essayé
Mama
tried
to
raise
me
better
Maman
a
essayé
de
m'élever
mieux
But
her
pleadin′
I
denied
Mais
j'ai
nié
ses
plaidoyers
That
leaves
no
one
but
me
to
blame
Ce
qui
ne
laisse
personne
d'autre
que
moi
à
blâmer
'Cause
mama
tried
Car
maman
a
essayé
Dear
old
daddy
rest
his
soul
Cher
vieux
papa
repose
en
paix
Left
my
mom
a
heavy
load
A
laissé
à
ma
mère
une
lourde
charge
She
tried
so
very
hard
Elle
a
essayé
si
fort
To
fill
his
shoes
Pour
prendre
sa
place
Workin′
hours
without
rest
Travaillant
des
heures
sans
repos
Wanted
me
to
have
the
best
Voulait
que
j'aie
le
meilleur
Oh,
she
tried
to
raise
me
right
Oh,
elle
a
essayé
de
m'élever
correctement
But
I
refused
Mais
j'ai
refusé
And
I
turned
21
