Lyrics and translation Jim Reeves - A Railroad Bum




A Railroad Bum
Un Clochard des Chemins de Fer
I used to be a railroad bum a living on the go
J'étais un clochard des chemins de fer, vivant sur la route
I rode freights from Canada down to Mexico
Je montais les trains de marchandises du Canada jusqu'au Mexique
From sunny Cal to Minnesota where the rippling waters falls
De la Californie ensoleillée au Minnesota, les eaux ruissellent
I never seemed to have a dime but I had myself a ball.
Je n'avais jamais un sou en poche, mais je m'amusais bien.
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
Chantant hi le hi lo he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum but I′m not anymore.
J'étais un clochard des chemins de fer, mais je ne le suis plus.
I walked in the Silver Dollar in Reno one night
Je suis entré au Silver Dollar à Reno une nuit
I Dropped a quarter in a one armed bandit
J'ai mis un quart dans un bandit manchot
The lemons lined up right
Les citrons se sont alignés
Took my winnings then played poker
J'ai pris mes gains, puis j'ai joué au poker
And I won ten thousand more
Et j'ai gagné dix mille de plus
I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore.
J'étais un clochard des chemins de fer, mais je ne le suis plus.
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
Chantant hi le hi lo he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum but I′m not anymore.
J'étais un clochard des chemins de fer, mais je ne le suis plus.
When cotton's white in Tennessee
Quand le coton est blanc dans le Tennessee
And shrimp boats sail in Maine
Et les bateaux de crevettes naviguent dans le Maine
Peach picking time soon will find me ridin' a Georgia train
La saison de la cueillette des pêches me trouvera bientôt à bord d'un train de Géorgie
Couse I get restless when I′m still I guess I always will
Parce que je deviens agité quand je reste immobile, je suppose que je le serai toujours
Want to keep traveling all my life over another hill.
Je veux continuer à voyager toute ma vie, vers une autre colline.
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
Chantant hi le hi lo he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum but I′m not anymore.
J'étais un clochard des chemins de fer, mais je ne le suis plus.
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
Chantant hi le hi lo he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore...
J'étais un clochard des chemins de fer, mais je ne le suis plus...
