Lyrics and translation Jimmie Rodgers - Waiting for a Train
All
around
the
water
tank,
waiting
for
a
train
Autour
du
réservoir
d'eau,
j'attends
le
train
A
thousand
miles
away
from
home,
sleeping
in
the
rain
À
mille
lieues
de
chez
moi,
je
dors
sous
la
pluie
I
walked
up
to
a
brakeman
just
to
give
him
a
line
of
talk
J'ai
abordé
un
cheminot
pour
lui
raconter
ma
vie
He
said
"If
you
got
money,
boy,
I'll
see
that
you
don't
walk
Il
a
dit
"Si
tu
as
de
l'argent,
mon
garçon,
je
veillerai
à
ce
que
tu
ne
marches
pas
I
haven't
got
a
nickel,
not
a
penny
can
I
show
Je
n'ai
pas
un
sou,
pas
un
centime
à
montrer
"Get
off,
get
off,
you
railroad
bum"
and
slammed
the
boxcar
door
« Descends,
descends,
vagabond
des
chemins
de
fer »
et
il
a
claqué
la
porte
du
wagon
He
put
me
off
in
Texas,
a
state
I
dearly
love
Il
m'a
déposé
au
Texas,
un
État
que
j'adore
The
wide
open
spaces
all
around
me,
the
moon
and
the
stars
up
above
Les
grands
espaces
ouverts
tout
autour
de
moi,
la
lune
et
les
étoiles
au-dessus
Nobody
seems
to
want
me,
or
lend
me
a
helping
hand
Personne
ne
semble
vouloir
de
moi,
ou
me
tendre
la
main
I'm
on
my
way
from
Frisco,
going
back
to
Dixieland
Je
suis
en
route
de
Frisco,
retournant
à
Dixieland
My
pocket
book
is
empty
and
my
heart
is
full
of
pain
Mon
portefeuille
est
vide
et
mon
cœur
est
rempli
de
douleur
I'm
a
thousand
miles
away
from
home
just
waiting
for
a
train
Je
suis
à
mille
lieues
de
chez
moi,
attendant
un
train
