Lyrics and translation Rancid - Telegraph Avenue

Telegraph Avenue

I was there in the rain
Man, even if them skies were blue
You can find me on the corner of Durant
And Telegraph Avenue
When I was only 17
I knew what I had to do
So I grabbed my left handed guitar
And I headed out to Telegraph Avenue
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na
Oh yeah
Mario Savio gave a speech
It was him against The Machine
For that he spent three months in jail
But he said he'd do it again
Governor Reagan had enough
So the National Guard they pushed on through
Tear gas and riot police
On Telegraph Avenue
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na
Oh yeah
The ones who stand for freedom of speech
Well this one goes out to you
Well I can still hear your voice
On Telegraph Avenue
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na
Oh yeah

Telegraph Avenue

J'étais là sous la pluie
Mec, même si le ciel était bleu
Tu peux me trouver au coin de Durant
Et Telegraph Avenue
Quand j'avais 17 ans
Je savais ce que je devais faire
Alors j'ai pris ma guitare gauchère
Et je suis parti pour Telegraph Avenue
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na
Oh yeah
Mario Savio a fait un discours
C'était lui contre la machine
Pour ça, il a passé trois mois en prison
Mais il a dit qu'il le referait
Le gouverneur Reagan en avait assez
Alors la Garde nationale a fait irruption
Gaz lacrymogène et policiers anti-émeute
Sur Telegraph Avenue
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na
Oh yeah
Ceux qui défendent la liberté d'expression
Eh bien celle-ci est pour toi
Eh bien je peux toujours entendre ta voix
Sur Telegraph Avenue
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na
Na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na
Oh yeah
