Lyrics and translation Slim Dusty - Middleton's Rouseabout
Tall
and
freckled
and
sandy,
Grand
et
roux,
avec
des
tâches
de
rousseur,
Face
of
a
country
lout;
Visage
de
paysan
rustique
;
This
was
the
picture
of
Andy,
Voilà
l'image
d'Andy,
Middleton's
Rouseabout.
Le
Routier
de
Middleton.
Type
of
a
coming
nation,
Type
de
nation
émergente,
In
the
land
of
cattle
and
sheep,
Dans
le
pays
du
bétail
et
des
moutons,
He
worked
on
Middleton's
station,
Il
travaillait
à
la
station
de
Middleton,
For
a
pound
a
week
and
his
keep.
Pour
une
livre
par
semaine
et
sa
nourriture.
On
Middleton's
wide
dominions
Sur
les
vastes
domaines
de
Middleton
Plied
the
stockwhip
and
shears;
Il
utilisait
le
fouet
et
les
ciseaux
;
Had
he
er
hadn't
any
opinions,
Avait-il
ou
non
des
opinions,
Had
he
hadn't
any
ideas'.
Avait-il
ou
non
des
idées.
Swiftly
the
years
went
over,
Les
années
passèrent
rapidement,
And
liquor
and
drought
prevailed;
Et
l'alcool
et
la
sécheresse
prévalurent
;
And
Middleton,
he
went
as
a
drover,
you
know,
Et
Middleton,
il
partit
comme
un
bouvier,
tu
sais,
After
his
station
had
failed.
Après
que
sa
station
ait
échoué.
Instrumental
Instrumental
(Whoa
whoa
whoa)
(Whoa
whoa
whoa)
Type
of
a
careless
nation,
Type
de
nation
insouciante,
Men
who
are
soon
played
out,
Des
hommes
qui
sont
rapidement
épuisés,
Middleton
was:
and
so
his
station
Middleton
l'était:
et
donc
sa
station
Bought
by
the
Rouseabout.
Acheté
par
le
Routier.
Now
flourishing
beard
and
sandy,
Maintenant,
barbe
florissante
et
rousse,
He's
tall,
he's
robust
and
stout;
Il
est
grand,
il
est
robuste
et
corpulent
;
Yes
this
is
the
picture
of
Andy,
you
know,
Oui,
c'est
l'image
d'Andy,
tu
sais,
Middleton's
Rouseabout.
Le
Routier
de
Middleton.
And
now
on
his
own
dominions
Et
maintenant
sur
ses
propres
domaines
He
works
with
his
overseers;
Il
travaille
avec
ses
contremaîtres
;
And
he
still
hasn't
any
opinions,
Et
il
n'a
toujours
pas
d'opinions,
He
hasn't
any
ideas.
Il
n'a
pas
d'idées.
