Lyrics and translation Johnny Cash - A Letter from Home
A
cowpoke
rode
in
one
hot
dusty
day
Un
cow-boy
est
arrivé
un
jour
de
poussière
et
de
chaleur
To
a
store
down
in
old
San
Antone
Dans
un
magasin
du
vieux
San
Antone
He
stood
at
the
window
and
I
heard
him
say
Il
s'est
arrêté
à
la
fenêtre
et
je
l'ai
entendu
dire
Do
I
have
a
letter
from
home
Est-ce
que
j'ai
une
lettre
de
chez
moi
?
The
postmaster
looked
through
the
mail
that
had
come
Le
maître
de
poste
a
parcouru
le
courrier
qui
était
arrivé
Then
smilingly
shook
his
grey
head
Puis
il
a
souri
et
secoué
la
tête
The
cowboke
looked
sadly
a
moment
at
him
Le
cow-boy
l'a
regardé
tristement
un
instant
And
these
are
the
words
that
he
said
Et
ce
sont
les
mots
qu'il
a
dit
No
letter
from
home,
no
letter
from
home
Pas
de
lettre
de
chez
moi,
pas
de
lettre
de
chez
moi
There's
never
a
letter
from
home
Il
n'y
a
jamais
de
lettre
de
chez
moi
(No
message
from
mother
and
none
of
the
other)
(Pas
de
message
de
maman
et
aucun
des
autres)
There's
never
a
letter
from
home
Il
n'y
a
jamais
de
lettre
de
chez
moi
That
night
he
was
shot
on
the
wrong
side
of
town
Ce
soir-là,
il
a
été
abattu
du
mauvais
côté
de
la
ville
No
more
of
those
plains
will
he
roam
Il
ne
parcourra
plus
ces
plaines
I
reached
for
my
Bible
and
gave
it
to
him
J'ai
tendu
la
main
vers
ma
Bible
et
je
la
lui
ai
donnée
Said,
"Son,
here's
your
letter
from
home"
J'ai
dit
: "Mon
fils,
voici
ta
lettre
de
chez
toi."
"If
only
I
had
just
a
little
more
time
“Si
seulement
j'avais
un
peu
plus
de
temps
To
read
it",
the
young
cowpoke
said
Pour
la
lire”,
a
dit
le
jeune
cow-boy
"I
can't
take
it
with
me
and
I
must
go
on"
“Je
ne
peux
pas
l'emporter
avec
moi
et
je
dois
partir”
Then
he
died
with
his
letter
unread
Puis
il
est
mort,
sa
lettre
non
lue.
The
letter
from
home,
the
letter
from
home
La
lettre
de
chez
moi,
la
lettre
de
chez
moi
No
time
for
the
letter
from
home
Pas
de
temps
pour
la
lettre
de
chez
moi
(The
cowboy
laid
dead
with
his
letter
unread)
(Le
cow-boy
était
mort,
sa
lettre
non
lue)
Too
late
for
the
letter
from
home
Trop
tard
pour
la
lettre
de
chez
moi
