Lyrics and translation Neil Young - The Last Trip to Tulsa (Live At the Riverboat 1969)




The Last Trip to Tulsa (Live At the Riverboat 1969)
Le dernier voyage à Tulsa (Live At the Riverboat 1969)
Well, I used to drive a cab, you know
Eh bien, je conduisais un taxi, tu sais
I heard a siren scream
J'ai entendu une sirène hurler
Pulled over to the corner
Je me suis arrêté au coin de la rue
And I fell into a dream
Et je suis tombé dans un rêve
There were two men eating pennies
Il y avait deux hommes qui mangeaient des sous
And three young girls who cried
Et trois jeunes filles qui pleuraient
The West coast is falling,
La côte ouest est en train de tomber,
I see rocks in the sky.
Je vois des rochers dans le ciel.
The preacher took his bible
Le prédicateur a pris sa Bible
And laid it on the stool.
Et l'a posée sur le tabouret.
He said: with the congregation running,
Il a dit: avec la congrégation qui court,
Why should I play the fool?
Pourquoi devrais-je jouer le fou?
Well, I used to be a woman, you know
Eh bien, j'étais une femme, tu sais
I took you for a ride,
Je t'ai fait faire un tour,
I let you fly my airplane
Je t'ai laissé piloter mon avion
It looked good for your pride.
Ça avait l'air bien pour ton orgueil.
'Cause you're the kind of man you know
Parce que tu es le genre d'homme, tu sais
Who likes what he says.
Qui aime ce qu'il dit.
I wonder what's it's like
Je me demande ce que c'est
To be so far over my head.
D'être si loin au-dessus de ma tête.
Well, the lady made the wedding
Eh bien, la dame a organisé le mariage
And she brought along the ring.
Et elle a apporté la bague.
She got down on her knees
Elle s'est mise à genoux
And said: Let's get on with this thing.
Et a dit: Allons-y avec ça.
Well, I used to be a folk singer
Eh bien, j'étais un chanteur folk
Keeping managers alive,
Qui faisait vivre des managers,
When you saw me on a corner
Quand tu m'as vu au coin d'une rue
And told me I was jive.
Et tu m'as dit que j'étais nul.
So I unlocked your mind, you know
Alors j'ai déverrouillé ton esprit, tu sais
To see what I could see.
Pour voir ce que je pouvais voir.
If you guarantee the postage,
Si tu garantis l'affranchissement,
I'll mail you back the key.
Je te renverrai la clé par la poste.
Well I woke up in the morning
Eh bien, je me suis réveillé le matin
With an arrow through my nose
Avec une flèche dans le nez
There was an Indian in the corner
Il y avait un Indien au coin de la rue
Tryin' on my clothes.
Qui essayait mes vêtements.
Well, I used to be asleep you know
Eh bien, j'étais endormi, tu sais
With blankets on my bed.
Avec des couvertures sur mon lit.
I stayed there for a while
Je suis resté pendant un moment
'Til they discovered I was dead.
Jusqu'à ce qu'ils découvrent que j'étais mort.
The coroner was friendly
Le coroner était sympa
And I liked him quite a lot.
Et je l'aimais bien.
If I hadn't 've been a woman
Si je n'avais pas été une femme
I guess I'd never have been caught.
Je suppose que je n'aurais jamais été attrapé.
They gave me back my house and car
Ils m'ont rendu ma maison et ma voiture
And nothing more was said.
Et rien de plus n'a été dit.
Well, I was driving down the freeway
Eh bien, je roulais sur l'autoroute
When my car ran out of gas.
Quand ma voiture est tombée en panne d'essence.
Pulled over to the station
Je me suis arrêté à la station-service
But I was afraid to ask.
Mais j'avais peur de demander.
The servicemen were yellow
Les mécaniciens étaient jaunes
And the gasoline was green.
Et l'essence était verte.
Although I knew I couldn't
Bien que je savais que je ne pouvais pas
I thought that I was gonna scream.
J'ai pensé que j'allais crier.
That was on my last trip to Tulsa
C'était lors de mon dernier voyage à Tulsa
Just before the snow.
Juste avant la neige.
If you ever need a ride there,
Si tu as besoin d'un trajet jusqu'à là-bas,
Be sure to let me know.
N'hésite pas à me le faire savoir.
I was chopping down a palm tree
Je coupais un palmier
When a friend dropped by to ask
Quand un ami est passé pour demander
If I would feel less lonely
Si je me sentirais moins seul
If he helped me swing the axe.
S'il m'aidait à manier la hache.
I said: No, it's not a case of being lonely
J'ai dit: Non, ce n'est pas une question de solitude
We have here,
Nous avons ici,
I've been working on this palm tree
Je travaille sur ce palmier
For eighty seven years
Depuis quatre-vingt-sept ans
I said: No, it's not a case of being lonely
J'ai dit: Non, ce n'est pas une question de solitude
We have here,
Nous avons ici,
I've been working on this palm tree
Je travaille sur ce palmier
For eighty seven years
Depuis quatre-vingt-sept ans
He said: Go get lost!
Il a dit: Va te faire voir!
And walked towards his Cadillac.
Et il est allé vers sa Cadillac.
I chopped down the palm tree
J'ai coupé le palmier
And it landed on his back.
Et il est tombé sur son dos.
