Lyrics and translation The Kinks - Big Black Smoke (Alternate Stereo Mix)
She
was
sick
and
tired
of
country
life
Tu
en
avais
assez
de
la
vie
à
la
campagne
A
little
country
home
Une
petite
maison
de
campagne
A
little
country
folk
Des
gens
de
la
campagne
Made
her
blood
run
cold
Te
glaçaient
le
sang
Now
her
mother
pines
her
heart
away
Maintenant
ta
mère
languit
de
ton
absence
Looking
for
her
child
in
the
big
black
smoke
Te
recherchant
dans
la
grosse
fumée
noire
In
the
big
black
smoke
Dans
la
grosse
fumée
noire
Frailest,
purest
girl
the
world
has
seen
La
fille
la
plus
fragile
et
la
plus
pure
que
le
monde
ait
jamais
connue
According
to
her
Ma,
according
to
her
Pa
Selon
ta
mère,
selon
ton
père
And
everybody
said
Et
tout
le
monde
disait
That
she
knew
no
sin
and
did
no
wrong
Que
tu
ne
connaissais
pas
le
péché
et
ne
faisais
pas
de
mal
Till
she
walked
the
streets
of
the
big
black
smoke
Jusqu'à
ce
que
tu
marches
dans
les
rues
de
la
grosse
fumée
noire
Of
the
big
black
smoke
De
la
grosse
fumée
noire
Well,
she
slept
in
caffs
and
coffee
bars
and
bowling
alleys
Eh
bien,
tu
as
dormi
dans
des
cafés,
des
bars
à
café
et
des
salles
de
bowling
And
every
penny
she
had
Et
chaque
sou
que
tu
avais
Was
spent
on
purple
hearts
and
cigarettes
Était
dépensé
en
drogues
et
en
cigarettes
She
took
all
her
pretty
colored
clothes
Tu
as
pris
tous
tes
beaux
vêtements
colorés
And
ran
away
from
home
Et
tu
t'es
enfuie
de
la
maison
And
the
boy
next
door
Et
le
garçon
d'à
côté
For
a
boy
named
Joe
Pour
un
garçon
nommé
Joe
And
he
took
her
money
for
the
rent
Et
il
a
pris
ton
argent
pour
le
loyer
And
tried
to
drag
her
down
in
the
big
black
smoke
Et
a
essayé
de
te
traîner
dans
la
grosse
fumée
noire
In
the
big
black
smoke
Dans
la
grosse
fumée
noire
In
the
big
black
smoke
Dans
la
grosse
fumée
noire
In
the
big
black
smoke
Dans
la
