Lyrics and translation Jimmie Rodgers - Desert Blues




Desert Blues
Blues du désert
Way out on the windswept desert where nature favors no man
Là-bas, sur le désert balayé par le vent, la nature ne favorise aucun homme
The buffalo found his brother at rest on the sun-baked sand
Le bison a trouvé son frère au repos sur le sable brûlant du soleil
He said, my brother, what ails you? Has sickness got you this way?
Il a dit, mon frère, qu'est-ce qui te tracasse? La maladie t'a-t-elle mis dans cet état?
But his brother never said, for his brother was dead
Mais son frère n'a jamais répondu, car son frère était mort
Been dead since way last May
Mort depuis le mois de mai dernier
Here's to Chief Big Buffalo Nickel, a mighty man in his day
Voici pour le chef Big Buffalo Nickel, un homme puissant en son temps
Never once used a sickle to clear the bushes away
N'a jamais utilisé une faux pour nettoyer les buissons
He would go 'round from tent to tent, eat everything in sight
Il allait de tente en tente, mangeait tout ce qu'il voyait
He loved a squaw, every one he saw
Il aimait une squaw, chacune qu'il voyait
He loved a new one every night
Il aimait une nouvelle chaque nuit
Last night on the windswept desert I heard a big Indian moan
Hier soir, sur le désert balayé par le vent, j'ai entendu un grand Indien gémir
I left my tent, I knew what it meant, and I swore I'd never more roam
J'ai quitté ma tente, je savais ce que cela voulait dire, et j'ai juré que je ne vagabonderais plus jamais
It was dawn when I reached safety, my legs were certainly sore
Il faisait jour quand j'ai atteint la sécurité, mes jambes étaient certainement douloureuses
I must of lost fifty pounds on that hot desert ground
J'ai perdre cinquante livres sur cette terre désertique brûlante
And I'd lose that many more
Et j'en perdrais autant de plus
