Promised Land [Live at Oakland Auditorium Arena, December 26, 1979]
Promised Land [Live at Oakland Auditorium Arena, December 26, 1979]
I
left
my
home
in
Norfolk
Virginia,
California
on
my
mind.
Je
quittais
ma
maison
à
Norfolk
en
Virginie,
la
Californie
dans
ma
tête.
Straddled
that
Greyhound,
it
rode
me
past
Raleigh,
and
on
across
Caroline.
Je
suis
monté
à
bord
de
ce
Greyhound,
il
m'a
emmené
au-delà
de
Raleigh,
puis
à
travers
Caroline.
Stopped
in
Charlotte
and
bypassed
Rock
Hill,
and
we
never
was
a
minute
late.
Je
me
suis
arrêté
à
Charlotte
et
j'ai
contourné
Rock
Hill,
et
nous
n'avons
jamais
eu
une
minute
de
retard.
We
was
ninety
miles
out
of
Atlanta
by
sundown,
rollin′
'cross
the
Georgia
state.
Nous
étions
à
quatre-vingt-dix
miles
d'Atlanta
au
coucher
du
soleil,
roulant
à
travers
l'État
de
Géorgie.
Had
motor
trouble
it
turned
into
a
struggle,
half
way
′cross
Alabam,
Nous
avons
eu
des
problèmes
de
moteur,
cela
s'est
transformé
en
une
galère,
à
mi-chemin
à
travers
l'Alabama,
The
'hound
broke
down
left
us
all
stranded
in
downtown
Birmingham.
Le
Greyhound
est
tombé
en
panne,
nous
laissant
tous
bloqués
dans
le
centre-ville
de
Birmingham.
Straight
off
bought
me
a
through
train
ticket,
right
across
Mississippi
clean
J'ai
tout
de
suite
acheté
un
billet
de
train
direct,
à
travers
le
Mississippi
And
I
was
on
the
midnight
flyer
out
of
Birmingham
Et
je
suis
monté
à
bord
du
Midnight
Flyer
au
départ
de
Birmingham
Smoking
into
New
Orleans.
En
direction
de
la
Nouvelle-Orléans.
Somebody
help
me
get
out
of
Louisiana
Quelqu'un
peut-il
m'aider
à
sortir
de
Louisiane
?
Just
help
me
get
to
Houston
town.
Aidez-moi
à
rejoindre
Houston.
People
are
there
who
care
a
little
'bout
me
Il
y
a
des
gens
là-bas
qui
se
soucient
un
peu
de
moi
And
they
won′t
let
the
poor
boy
down.
Et
ils
ne
laisseront
pas
tomber
ce
pauvre
garçon.
Sure
as
she
bore
me,
she
bought
me
a
silk
suit,
put
luggage
in
my
hands,
Aussi
sûr
qu'elle
m'a
mis
au
monde,
elle
m'a
acheté
un
costume
en
soie,
m'a
mis
des
bagages
dans
les
mains,
And
I
woke
up
high
over
Albuquerque
Et
je
me
suis
réveillé
au-dessus
d'Albuquerque
On
a
jet
to
the
promised
land.
Dans
un
avion
pour
la
terre
promise.
Workin′
on
a
T-bone
steak
a
la
carte,
En
train
de
travailler
sur
un
steak
à
la
carte,
Flying
over
to
the
Golden
State;
En
survolant
l'État
doré
;
When
the
pilot
told
us
in
thirteen
minutes
Quand
le
pilote
nous
a
dit
que
dans
treize
minutes
We'd
be
headin′
in
the
terminal
gate.
Nous
nous
dirigerions
vers
la
porte
du
terminal.
Swing
low
sweet
chariot,
come
down
easy
Balance-toi
bas,
doux
chariot,
descends
en
douceur
Taxi
to
the
terminal
zone;
Taxi
jusqu'à
la
zone
terminale
;
Cut
your
engines,
cool
your
wings,
Coupe
tes
moteurs,
refroidis
tes
ailes,
And
let
me
make
it
to
the
telephone.
Et
laisse-moi
aller
au
téléphone.
Los
Angeles
give
me
Norfolk
Virginia,
Los
Angeles,
donne-moi
Norfolk
en
Virginie,
Tidewater
four
ten
on
nine
Quatre-dix
Tidewater
sur

Tell
the
folks
back
home
this
is
the
promised
land
callin'
Dites
aux
gens
à
la
maison
que
c'est
la
terre
promise
qui
appelle
And
the
poor
boy′s
on
the
line.
Et
que
ce
pauvre
garçon
est
en
ligne.
