Lyrics and translation Paul Simon - The Boxer (with The Jessy Dixon Singers & Urubamba) (Live)
And
I
am
just
a
poor
boy
Et
je
ne
suis
qu'un
pauvre
garçon
Though
my
story
is
seldom
told
Bien
que
mon
histoire
soit
rarement
racontée
I
have
squandered
my
resistance
for
a
pocketful
of
mumbles,
such
are
promises
J'ai
gaspillé
ma
résistance
pour
une
poignée
de
marmonnements,
telles
sont
les
promesses
All
lies
and
jest,
still
a
man
hears
what
he
wants
to
hear
Tous
mensonges
et
plaisanteries,
pourtant
un
homme
entend
ce
qu'il
veut
entendre
And
disregards
the
rest,
mhmmmm,
mmmm
Et
ignore
le
reste,
mhmmmm,
mmmm
When
I
left
my
home
and
my
family,
I
was
no
more
than
a
boy
Lorsque
j'ai
quitté
mon
foyer
et
ma
famille,
je
n'étais
qu'un
garçon
In
the
company
of
strangers
En
compagnie
d'étrangers
In
the
quiet
of
the
railway
station,
runnin′
scared
Dans
le
calme
de
la
gare,
courant
effrayé
Laying
low,
seeking
out
the
poorer
quarters,
where
the
ragged
people
go
Me
cachant,
cherchant
les
quartiers
les
plus
pauvres,
où
les
gens
en
haillons
vont
Looking
for
the
places
only
they
would
know
Cherchant
les
endroits
que
seuls
eux
connaissent
La
la
la
La
la
la
Seeking
only
workman's
wages
Cherchant
seulement
le
salaire
d'un
ouvrier
I
come
looking
for
a
job,
but
I
get
no
offers
Je
viens
chercher
du
travail,
mais
je
n'obtiens
aucune
offre
Just
a
come-on
from
the
whores
on
Seventh
Avenue
Juste
une
invitation
des
prostituées
de
la
Septième
Avenue
I
do
declare,
there
were
times
when
I
was
so
lonesome
Je
le
déclare,
il
y
a
eu
des
moments
où
j'étais
tellement
seul
I
took
some
comfort
there
mhmmmm,
mmmm
J'ai
trouvé
du
réconfort
là-bas
mhmmmm,
mmmm
Now
the
years
are
rolling
by
me,
they
are
rockin′
evenly
Maintenant
les
années
défilent
devant
moi,
elles
se
balancent
régulièrement
I
am
older
than
I
once
was
Je
suis
plus
âgé
que
je
ne
l'étais
And
younger
than
I'll
be,
but
that's
not
unusual
Et
plus
jeune
que
je
ne
le
serai,
mais
ce
n'est
pas
inhabituel
No
it
isn′t
strange,
after
changes
upon
changes,
we
are
more
or
less
the
same
Non,
ce
n'est
pas
étrange,
après
des
changements
sur
des
changements,
nous
sommes
plus
ou
moins
les
mêmes
After
changes
we
are
more
or
less
the
same
Après
des
changements,
nous
sommes
plus
ou
moins
les
mêmes
Sing
la
la
la
Chante
la
la
la
Then
I′m
laying
out
my
winter
clothes,
wishing
I
was
gone,
goin'
home
Alors
je
sors
mes
vêtements
d'hiver,
souhaitant
être
parti,
rentrer
à
la
maison
Where
the
New
York
city
winters
aren′t
bleedin'
me
Où
les
hivers
de
New
York
ne
me
saignent
pas
Leadin′
me
to
go
home
Me
conduisant
à
rentrer
à
la
maison
In
the
clearing
stands
a
boxer,
and
a
fighter
by
his
trade
Dans
la
clairière
se
tient
un
boxeur,
et
un
combattant
de
son
métier
And
he
carries
the
reminders
Et
il
porte
les
souvenirs
Of
every
glove
that
laid
him
down
or
cut
him
De
chaque
gant
qui
l'a
mis
au
tapis
ou
l'a
coupé
'Til
he
cried
out
in
his
anger
and
his
shame
Jusqu'à
ce
qu'il
crie
de
colère
et
de
honte
I
am
leaving,
I
am
leaving,
but
the
fighter
still
remains
Je
pars,
je
pars,
mais
le
combattant
reste
La
