Lyrics and translation Kris Kristofferson - Billy Dee (Live at the Philharmonic)




Billy Dee (Live at the Philharmonic)
Billy Dee (Live au Philharmonic)
Billy Dee was seventeen when he turned twenty-one
Billy Dee avait dix-sept ans quand il a eu vingt et un
Fooling with some foolish things he could've left alone
Jouant avec des choses stupides qu'il aurait pu laisser tomber
But he had to try to satisfy a thirst he couldn't name
Mais il devait essayer de satisfaire une soif qu'il ne pouvait nommer
Driven towards the darkness by the devil in his veins
Poussé vers les ténèbres par le diable dans ses veines
All around the honky tonks, searching for a sign
Tout autour des cabarets, à la recherche d'un signe
Gettin' by on gettin' high on women, words and wine
Se débrouillant en se droguant avec des femmes, des mots et du vin
Some folks called him crazy, Lord, and others called him free
Certains l'ont appelé fou, mon Dieu, et d'autres l'ont appelé libre
But we just called us lucky for the love of Billy Dee
Mais on s'est juste dit chanceux pour l'amour de Billy Dee
Busy goin' his own way and speakin' his own words
Occupé à faire son chemin et à parler ses propres mots
Facin' and forgettin' every warnin' that he heard
Faisant face et oubliant chaque avertissement qu'il entendait
Makin' friends and takin' any crazy chance he could
Se faisant des amis et saisissant chaque chance folle qu'il pouvait
Gettin' busted for the bad times and believin' in the good
Se faisant arrêter pour les mauvais moments et croyant au bien
Billy took a beatin' from a world he meant no harm
Billy a pris des coups de la part d'un monde qu'il ne voulait pas blesser
The score was written in the scars up on his arm
Le score était écrit dans les cicatrices sur son bras
Some felt he was payin' for the life he tried to lead
Certains pensaient qu'il payait pour la vie qu'il essayait de mener
But all we felt was sorry for our good friend Billy Dee
Mais on était tous désolés pour notre bon ami Billy Dee
It may be his soul was bigger than a body's oughta be
Peut-être que son âme était plus grande qu'un corps ne devrait l'être
Singin' songs and bringin' laughter to the likes of you and me
Chantant des chansons et apportant du rire à des gens comme toi et moi
Cause the world he saw was sadder than the one he hoped to find
Car le monde qu'il voyait était plus triste que celui qu'il espérait trouver
But it wasn't near as lonesome as the one he left behind
Mais il n'était pas aussi solitaire que celui qu'il avait laissé derrière lui
Yesterday they found him on the floor of his hotel
Hier, ils l'ont trouvé sur le sol de son hôtel
Reachin' towards the needle, Lord, that drove him down to hell
Tendant la main vers l'aiguille, mon Dieu, qui l'a emmené en enfer
Some folks called it suicide, others blame the speed
Certains l'ont appelé suicide, d'autres ont blâmé la vitesse
But we all called it crucified when Billy Dee O.D.'d
Mais on a tous dit qu'il était crucifié quand Billy Dee a fait une overdose
