Lyrics and translation The Carter Family - Jim Blakes Message
Went
over
the
wires
tonight
Ce
soir,
sur
les
fils
The
message
was
brought
to
the
depot
Le
message
est
arrivé
au
dépôt
By
a
lad
all
trembling
with
fright
Par
un
jeune
garçon
tremblant
de
peur
He
entered
the
office
crying
Il
est
entré
au
bureau
en
pleurant
His
face
was
terribly
white
Son
visage
était
terriblement
pâle
And
this
message
to
dad
and
his
engine
Et
ce
message
pour
papa
et
son
moteur
"Mother
is
dying
tonight"
"Maman
est
en
train
de
mourir
ce
soir"
In
something
less
than
an
hour
En
moins
d'une
heure
Jim's
answer
back
to
me
flew
La
réponse
de
Jim
m'est
parvenue
"Tell
wife
I'll
be
there
at
midnight
"Dites
à
ma
femme
que
je
serai
là
à
minuit
I'm
praying
for
her,
too"
Je

aussi"
"I
left
my
son
in
the
office"
"J'ai
laissé
mon
fils
au

Said
the
message
to
Jim's
wife
Dit
le
message
à
la
femme
de
Jim
I
found
the
dying
woman
J'ai
trouvé
la
femme
mourante
Was
scarce
of
breath
and
life
Elle
avait
peu
de
souffle
et
de
vie
For
hill
and
dale
and
valley
Sur
les
collines,
les
vallées
Thunders
a
heavy
train
Un
lourd
train
gronde
Its
engine
is
sobbing
and
throbbing
Son
moteur
sanglote
et
palpite
And
under
a
terrible
strain
Et
subit
une
terrible
tension
But
Jim
hangs
on
to
his
throttle
Mais
Jim
s'accroche
à
sa
manette
des
gaz
Guiding
her
crazy
flight
Guidant
son
vol
fou
And
his
voice
cries
out
in
the
darkness
Et
sa
voix
crie
dans
l'obscurité
"Godspeed
the
express
tonight"
"Bonne
chance
à
l'express
ce
soir"
I
telephoned
the
doctor
J'ai
téléphoné
au
docteur
"How
is
Jim's
wife?"
I
asked
"Comment
va
la
femme
de
Jim
?"
J'ai
demandé
"About
the
hour
of
midnight
"Vers
l'heure
de
minuit
Is
long
as
she
can
last"
Elle
ne
pourra
plus
durer"
In
something
less
than
an
hour
En
moins
d'une
heure
The
train
will
be
along
Le
train
sera
là
But
here,
I
have
a
message
Mais
ici,
j'ai
un
message
Oh
God,
there
is
something
wrong
Oh
mon
Dieu,
il
y
a
quelque
chose
qui
ne
va
pas
The
message
reads
"Disaster"
Le
message
indique
"Catastrophe"
The
train
is
in
the
ditch
Le
train
est
dans
le
fossé
The
engineer
is
dying
Le
conducteur
est
en
train
de
mourir
Derailed
by
an
open
switch
Déraillé
par
un
aiguillage
ouvert
And
there's
another
message
Et
il
y
a
un
autre
message
To
Jim's
wife
it
is
addressed
À
la
femme

at
midnight
in
