Lyrics and translation Johnny Cash - Waiting for a Train
All
around
the
water
tank
waitin'
for
a
train
Autour
du
réservoir
d'eau,
j'attends
un
train
A
thousand
miles
away
from
home
sleeping
in
the
rain
À
mille
lieues
de
chez
moi,
dormant
sous
la
pluie
I
walked
up
to
a
brakeman
just
to
give
him
a
line
of
talk
J'ai
approché
un
freineur
pour
lui
parler
un
peu
He
said
if
you've
got
money
I'll
see
that
you
don't
walk
Il
m'a
dit
: "Si
tu
as
de
l'argent,
je
ferai
en
sorte
que
tu
ne
marches
pas"
Well
I
haven't
got
a
nickel
not
a
penny
can
I
show
Eh
bien,
je
n'ai
pas
un
sou,
pas
un
centime
à
montrer
He
said
get
off
you
railroad
bum
and
he
slammed
the
boxcar
door
Il
m'a
dit
: "Dégage,
vagabond
des
chemins
de
fer",
et
il
a
claqué
la
porte
du
wagon
Well
he
put
me
off
in
Texas
a
place
I
dearly
love
Il
m'a
déposé
au
Texas,
un
endroit
que
j'aime
beaucoup
The
wide
open
spaces
all
around
me
the
moon
and
stars
above
Les
vastes
espaces
tout
autour
de
moi,
la
lune
et
les
étoiles
au-dessus
Nobody
seems
to
want
me
nor
to
lend
me
a
helping
hand
Personne
ne
semble
me
vouloir
ni
me
tendre
la
main
I'm
on
my
way
from
Frisco
headin'
back
to
Dixie
Land
Je
suis
en
route
de
Frisco,
direction
Dixie
Land
My
pocketbook
is
empty
my
heart
is
willed
with
pain
Mon
portefeuille
est
vide,
mon
cœur
est
rempli
de
douleur
I'm
a
thousand
miles
away
from
home,
waitin'
for
a
train
Je
suis
à
mille
lieues
de
chez
moi,
en
attendant
un
train
