Lyrics and translation Grateful Dead - Me & My Uncle [Live at Convention Hall, San Diego, CA, August 7, 1971]
Me & My Uncle [Live at Convention Hall, San Diego, CA, August 7, 1971]
Moi et mon oncle [Live at Convention Hall, San Diego, CA, August 7, 1971]
Me
and
my
uncle
went
ridin′
down,
Mon
oncle
et
moi
chevauchions,
South
colorado,
west
texas
bound.
Dans
le
sud
du
Colorado,
vers
l'ouest
du
Texas.
We
stopped
over
in
santa
fe,
Nous
nous
sommes
arrêtés
à
Santa
Fe,
That
bein'
the
point
just
about
half
way,
C'était
à
mi-chemin,
And
you
know
it
was
the
hottest
part
of
the
day.
Et
c'était
la
partie
la
plus
chaude
de
la
journée.
I
took
the
horses
up
to
the
stall,
J'ai
emmené
les
chevaux
à
l'écurie,
Went
to
the
barroom,
ordered
drinks
for
all.
Et
je
suis
allé
au
bar,
j'ai
commandé
des
verres
pour
tout
le
monde.
Three
days
in
the
saddle,
you
know
my
body
hurt,
Trois
jours
en
selle,
mon
corps
me
faisait
mal,
It
bein′
summer,
I
took
off
my
shirt,
C'était
l'été,
j'ai
enlevé
ma
chemise,
And
I
tried
to
wash
off
some
of
that
dusty
dirt.
Et
j'ai
essayé
d'enlever
une
partie
de
la
poussière.
When
texas
cowboys,
they's
all
around,
Quand
les
cow-boys
du
Texas,
ils
étaient
partout,
With
liquor
and
money,
they
loaded
down.
Avec
de
l'alcool
et
de
l'argent,
ils
étaient
chargés.
So
soon
after
payday,
know
it
seemed
a
shame;
Si
peu
de
temps
après
le
jour
de
paie,
c'était
dommage
;
You
know
my
uncle,
he
starts
a
friendly
game,
Tu
sais
que
mon
oncle,
il
commence
une
partie
amicale,
High-low
jack
and
the
winner
take
the
hand.
High-low
jack
et
le
gagnant
prend
la
main.
My
uncle
starts
winnin';
cowboys
got
sore.
Mon
oncle
commence
à
gagner
; les
cow-boys
sont
furieux.
One
of
them
called
him,
and
then
two
more,
L'un
d'eux
l'a
appelé,
puis
deux
autres,
Accused
him
of
cheatin′;
oh
no,
it
couldn′t
be.
L'accusant
de
tricherie
; oh
non,
ça
ne
pouvait
pas
être.
I
know
my
uncle,
he's
as
honest
as
me,
Je
connais
mon
oncle,
il
est
aussi
honnête
que
moi,
And
I′m
as
honest
as
a
gamblin'
man
can
be.
Et
je
suis
aussi
honnête
qu'un
joueur
peut
l'être.
One
of
them
cowboys,
he
starts
to
draw,
L'un
de
ces
cow-boys,
il
commence
à
dégainer,
And
I
shot
him
down,
lord
he
never
saw.
Et
je
lui
ai
tiré
dessus,
il
n'a
rien
vu
venir.
Well
I
grabbed
a
bottle,
cracked
him
in
the
jaw,
Et
j'ai
attrapé
une
bouteille,
je
lui
ai
cassé
la
mâchoire,
Shot
me
another,
oh
damn
he
won′t
grow
old.
J'en
ai
abattu
un
autre,
bon
sang,
il
ne
vieillira
pas.
In
the
confusion,
my
uncle
grabbed
the
gold,
Dans
la
confusion,
mon
oncle
a
pris
l'or,
And
we
high-tailed
it
down
to
mexico.
Et
nous
avons
filé
vers
le
Mexique.
I
love
those
cowboys,
I
love
their
gold,
J'aime
ces
cow-boys,
j'aime
leur
or,
I
loved
my
uncle,
God
rest
his
soul,
J'aimais
mon
oncle,
que
son
âme
repose
en
paix,
Taught
me
good,
lord,
taught
me
all
I
know
Il
m'a
bien
appris,
ma
chérie,
il
m'a
tout
appris
Taught
me
so
well,
I
grabbed
that
gold
Il
m'a
si
bien
appris,
j'ai
pris
cet
or
And
I
left
his
dead
ass
there
by
the
side
of
the
road.
Et
j'ai
laissé
son
cadavre
au
bord
de
la
route.
