Lyrics and translation Laura Nyro - When I Was A Freeport And You Were The Main Drag
You
took
my
heart
- misery
Tu
as
pris
mon
cœur
- la
misère
You
taught
me
blues
Tu
m'as
appris
le
blues
Well
i
got
a
lot
of
patience
baby
J'ai
beaucoup
de
patience,
mon
chéri
That's
a
lot
of
patience
to
lose
C'est
beaucoup
de
patience
à
perdre
I'm
crying
- i'm
mad
at
my
country
Je
pleure
- je
suis
en
colère
contre
mon
pays
Now
i've
been
treated
bad
Maintenant,
j'ai
été
maltraitée
When
i
was
a
freeport
and
you
were
the
main
drag.
Quand
j'étais
un
port
franc
et
que
tu
étais
la
rue
principale.
Broken
blues
- i
just
don't
know
Blues
brisés
- je
ne
sais
pas
Little
bird,
flying
by
my
window
Petit
oiseau,
volant
près
de
ma
fenêtre
Take
me
where
you
go
Emmène-moi
où
tu
vas
I'm
crying
- i'm
looking
at
these
times
Je
pleure
- je
regarde
ces
temps
And
it's
bound
to
drive
me
mad
Et
c'est
sûr
de
me
rendre
folle
When
i
was
a
freeport
and
you
were
the
main
drag.
Quand
j'étais
un
port
franc
et
que
tu
étais
la
rue
principale.
What
did
i
do?
Qu'est-ce
que
j'ai
fait
?
Everybody's
putting
me
down
Tout
le
monde
me
rabaisse
I
keep
running
Je
continue
de
courir
But
the
law
kept
coming
around.
Mais
la
loi
continuait
de
revenir.
So
fare
thee
well
- happiness
Alors
adieu
- bonheur
Cause
i
got
blues
Parce
que
j'ai
le
blues
And
i
got
a
lot
of
patience
baby
J'ai
beaucoup
de
patience,
mon
chéri
That's
a
lot
of
patience
to
lose
C'est
beaucoup
de
patience
à
perdre
I'm
a
woman
Je
suis
une
femme
Waiting
for
due
time
Attendant
son
heure
Now
i've
been
treated
bad
Maintenant,
j'ai
été
maltraitée
When
i
was
a
freeport
and
you
were
the
main
drag
Quand
j'étais
un
port
franc
et
que
tu
étais
la
rue
principale
