Lyrics and translation Mickey Newbury - East Kentucky
East
Kentucky,
threads
of
silver,
Kentucky
de
l'Est,
fils
d'argent,
Down
a
rusty
railroad
track.
Le
long
d'une
voie
ferrée
rouillée.
Dusty
highway,
take
me
to
Denver,
Route
poussiéreuse,
emmène-moi
à
Denver,
I
will
not
be
comin'
back.
Je
ne
reviendrai
pas.
To
the
mountains
of
Colorado,
Vers
les
montagnes
du
Colorado,
Like
a
bandit
I
will
run.
Comme
un
bandit,
je
vais
courir.
To
the
beauty
of
the
mountains,
Vers
la
beauté
des
montagnes,
To
undo
what
she
has
done.
Pour
défaire
ce
que
tu
as
fait.

[Whistling
chorus.]
[Sifflement
de
chœur.]
East
Kentucky,
I
knew
your
daughter,
Kentucky
de
l'Est,
je
connaissais
ta
fille,
In
the
early
morning
rain.
Dans
la
pluie
du
petit
matin.
And
in
the
shadow
of
the
tall
pines,
Et
à
l'ombre
des
grands
pins,
I
did
love
her
with
no
shame.
Je
l'ai
aimée
sans
honte.
Now
the
cold,
gray
hands
of
winter,
Maintenant
les
mains
grises
et
froides
de
l'hiver,
Lay
upon
the
mountain
side.
Se
posent
sur
le
flanc
de
la
montagne.
There's
a
bluebird
seekin'
shelter,
Il
y
a
un
oiseau
bleu
qui
cherche
refuge,
She
ain't
got
no
place
to
hide.
Elle
n'a
nulle
part
où
se
cacher.
She
ain't
got
no
place
to
hide.
Elle
n'a
nulle
part
où
se
cacher.
[Whisting
to
end.]
[Sifflement
jusqu'à
la
fin.]
