Bad Man's Blunder - Remastered
La bévue du méchant - Remastered
Well, early one evening I was rollin′ around.
Eh bien, un soir, j’étais en train de me balader.
I was feelin' kind of mean.
J’étais un peu de mauvaise humeur.
I shot a deputy down.
J’ai tiré sur un adjoint.
Strollin′ on home and I went to bed.
Je me suis promené à la maison et je suis allé me coucher.
Well, I laid me pistol up under my head.
Eh bien, j’ai posé mon arme sous ma tête.
He strolled along home (I took my time) and he went to bed (Thought I'd sleep some)
Il s’est promené à la maison (J’ai pris mon temps) et il est allé se coucher (J’ai pensé que j’allais dormir un peu)
Laid his pistol (Big twenty-two) up under his head (I keep it handy)
Il a posé son arme (Gros vingt-deux) sous sa tête (Je la garde à portée de main)
Well, early in the morning 'bout the break of day, I figured it was time to make a getaway.
Eh bien, tôt le matin, vers le lever du jour, j’ai pensé qu’il était temps de prendre la fuite.
Steppin′ right along but I was steppin′ too slow.
Je marchais droit devant, mais je marchais trop lentement.
Got surrounded by a sheriff down in Mexico.
J’ai été encerclé par un shérif au Mexique.
He was steppin' right along (Were a-high footin′ it) but he was steppin' too slow (It was a sultry day)
Il marchait droit devant (On était à pied) mais il marchait trop lentement (C’était une journée étouffante)
Got surrounded by a sheriff (Boxed in) in Mexico. (I didn′t even have a chance to see the country.)
Il a été encerclé par un shérif (Mis en cage) au Mexique. (Je n’ai même pas eu la chance de voir le pays.)
When I was arrested, I didn't have a dime.
Quand j’ai été arrêté, je n’avais pas un sou.
The sheriff says, "
Le shérif dit :"
Son, you′re ridin' free this time.
Fiston, tu es libre cette fois-ci.
Where you're goin′ you won′t need a cent 'cause the great state of Texas gonna pay your rent.
tu vas, tu n’auras pas besoin d’un sou, car le grand État du Texas va payer ton loyer.
Cause where you′re goin' (I think he means jail) you won′t need a cent (Well, he knows I'm broke)
Parce que tu vas (Je pense qu’il veut dire la prison), tu n’auras pas besoin d’un sou (Eh bien, il sait que je suis fauché)
Cause the great state of Texas (Yippee!) gonna pay your rent. (I′m mighty grateful, fellas)
Parce que le grand État du Texas (Youpi !) va payer ton loyer. (Je suis très reconnaissant, les gars)
Well, I didn't have a key and I didn't have a file.
Eh bien, je n’avais pas de clé et je n’avais pas de lime.
Natur′lly I stayed around until my trial.
Naturellement, je suis resté dans les parages jusqu’à mon procès.
The judge was an old man; ninety-three and I didn′t like the way the jury looked at me.
Le juge était un vieil homme, quatre-vingt-treize ans, et je n’ai pas aimé la façon dont le jury me regardait.
The judge was an old man (Too old) Ninety-three (Entirely too old)
Le juge était un vieil homme (Trop vieux) Quatre-vingt-treize ans (Entièrement trop vieux)
I didn't like the way the jury looked at me. (I think they were suspicious.)
Je n’ai pas aimé la façon dont le jury me regardait. (Je pense qu’ils étaient méfiants.)
The judge and the jury, they did agree.
Le juge et le jury étaient d’accord.
They all said murder in the first degree.
Ils ont tous dit meurtre au premier degré.
The judge said, "
Le juge a dit :"
Son, I don′t know whether to hang you or not, but this here killin' of deputy sheriffs has just naturally got to stop!" ("
Fiston, je ne sais pas si je dois te pendre ou non, mais ce meurtre d’adjoints du shérif doit tout simplement cesser !"
You′ve got a point there, judge!")
(Tu as raison, juge !)
It was a most unsatisfactory trial.
C’était un procès très insatisfaisant.
They gave me ninety-nine years on the hard rock pile.
Ils m’ont donné quatre-vingt-dix-neuf ans sur le tas de roches.
Ninety and nine on the hard rock ground.
Quatre-vingt-dix-neuf sur le sol de roche dure.
All I ever did was shoot a deputy down.
Tout ce que j’ai fait, c’est tirer sur un adjoint.
Ninety and nine (It could have been life.) on the hard rock pile (They might-a hung me)
Quatre-vingt-dix-neuf (Ça aurait pu être la vie.) sur le tas de roches (Ils auraient pu me pendre)
And all he ever did was shoot a deputy down (This whole thing has sure been a lesson to me.
Et tout ce qu’il a fait, c’est tirer sur un adjoint (Toute cette affaire m’a vraiment appris quelque chose.
Bang!
Bang !
You're dead!)
Tu es mort !)
