Lyrics and translation Scott Walker - Thanks For Chicago Mr. James
You
always
said
I
would′nt
stay
Tu
as
toujours
dit
que
je
ne
resterais
pas
I
guess
you
saw
the
way
Je
suppose
que
tu
as
vu
la
façon
Before
it
all
began
Avant
que
tout
ne
commence
I've
always
been
a
changin′
train
J'ai
toujours
été
un
train
changeant
And
when
you
think
on
this
Et
quand
tu
réfléchiras
à
cela
Toy
might
forgive
me
then
Tu
pourrais
me
pardonner
alors
Thanks
for
Chicago
Mr
James
Merci
pour
Chicago,
M.
James
And
all
the
shiny
suits
Et
tous
les
costumes
brillants
And
all
the
shiny
names
Et
tous
les
noms
brillants
The
things
a
country
boy
can't
grace
Les
choses
qu'un
garçon
de
la
campagne
ne
peut
pas
honorer
Without
the
look
of
shame
Sans
le
regard
de
la
honte
Upon
a
city
face
Sur
un
visage
de
la
ville
And
you
needed
more
Et
tu
avais
besoin
de
plus
Than
the
smile
I
wore
Que
le
sourire
que
je
portais
You
picked
me
up
on
my
way
down
Tu
m'as
ramassé
sur
mon
chemin
vers
le
bas
The
dusty
one
horse
town
La
ville
poussiéreuse
d'un
cheval
I
won't
forget
the
jail
Je
n'oublierai
pas
la
prison
The
mayor′s
wife
and
the
Cadillac
La
femme
du
maire
et
la
Cadillac
The
sheriff
on
my
back
Le
shérif
sur
mon
dos
*Til
you
put
up
the
ball
Jusqu'à
ce
que
tu
mettes
la
balle
Thanks
for
Chicago
Mr
James
Merci
pour
Chicago,
M.
James
You
got
a
lot
of
grace
Tu
as
beaucoup
de
grâce
But
you′re
an
empty
place
Mais
tu
es
un
lieu
vide
The
dawn
falls
hard
on
my
face
L'aube
tombe
durement
sur
mon
visage
I'll
move
as
I
began
Je
bougerai
comme
j'ai
commencé
Thru′
fields
without
a
plan
À
travers
les
champs
sans
plan
Thanks
for
Chicago
Mr
James
Merci
pour
Chicago,
M.
James
That
world
of
grey
and
cold
Ce
monde
gris
et
froid
That
watched
you
growing
old
Qui
t'a
vu
vieillir
The
things
I
never
saw
I
see
Les
choses
que
je
n'ai
jamais
vues,
je
les
vois
To
think
that
I'm
still
free
Penser
que
je
suis
encore
libre
And
I′m
not
feeling
cold
Et
je
ne
ressens
pas
le
froid
