Lyrics and translation Johnny Cash - Bird On a Wire (Live With Orchestra)
Like
a
bird
on
a
wire
Comme
un
oiseau
sur
un
fil
Like
a
drunk
in
a
midnight
choir
Comme
un
ivrogne
dans
un
chœur
de
minuit
I
have
tried
in
my
way
to
be
free
J'ai
essayé
à
ma
façon
d'être
libre
Like
a
fish
on
a
hook
Comme
un
poisson
à
l'hameçon
Like
a
knight
in
a
some
old
fashioned
book
Comme
un
chevalier
dans
un
vieux
livre
I
have
saved
all
my
ribbons
for
thee
J'ai
gardé
tous
mes
rubans
pour
toi
And
if
I
have
been
unkind
Et
si
j'ai
été
cruel
I
just
hope
you
will
just
let
it
go
by
J'espère
juste
que
tu
laisseras
passer
And
if
I,
if
I
have
been
untrue
Et
si
j'ai,
si
j'ai
été
infidèle
I
just
hope
you
know
it
was
never
to
you
J'espère
juste
que
tu
sais
que
ce
n'était
jamais
pour
toi
Like
a
baby
stillborn
Comme
un
bébé
mort-né
Like
a
beast
with
his
horn
Comme
une
bête
avec
sa
corne
I
have
torn
everyone
J'ai
déchiré
tout
le
monde
Who
reached
out
to
me
Qui
m'a
tendu
la
main
But
I
swear
by
this
song
Mais
je
jure
par
cette
chanson
And
by
all
that
I
have
done
wrong
Et
par
tout
ce
que
j'ai
fait
de
mal
I'll
make
it
all
up
to
thee
Je
vais
tout
rattraper
I
saw
a
young
man
J'ai
vu
un
jeune
homme
Leaning
on
his
wooden
crutch
S'appuyant
sur
sa
béquille
en
bois
And
he
called
out
to
me
Et
il
m'a
crié
"Don't
ask
for
so
much"
« Ne
demande
pas
autant
»
And
a
young
woman
Et
une
jeune
femme
Leaning
on
her
darkened
door
S'appuyant
sur
sa
porte
sombre
And
she
cried
out
to
me
Et
elle
m'a
crié
"Hey,
why
not
ask
for
more"
« Hé,
pourquoi
ne
pas
demander
plus
»
Like
a
bird
on
a
wire
Comme
un
oiseau
sur
un
fil
Like
a
drunk
in
a
midnight
choir
Comme
un
ivrogne
dans
un
chœur
de
minuit
I
have
tried
in
my
way
to
be
free
J'ai
essayé
à

façon
d'être
