Lyrics and translation Tony Joe White - Polk Salad Annie - Remastered Version




Polk Salad Annie - Remastered Version
Polk Salad Annie - Version remasterisée
Now some of y'all never been down South too much
Maintenant, certains d'entre vous n'ont pas été trop souvent dans le Sud
I'm gonna tell you a little bit about this
Je vais vous parler un peu de ça
So that you'll understand
Pour que vous compreniez
What I'm talking about
De quoi je parle
Down there we have a plant that grows out
Là-bas, on a une plante qui pousse
In the woods and the fields
Dans les bois et les champs
Looks somethin' like a turnip green
Elle ressemble un peu à un chou vert
Everybody calls it Polk salad, polk salad, huh
Tout le monde l'appelle Polk salad, Polk salad, hein
Used to know a girl that lived down there and
Je connaissais une fille qui vivait là-bas et
She'd go out in the evenings and pick her a mess of it
Elle sortait le soir et en cueillait un tas
Carry it home and cook it for supper
Elle le rapportait à la maison et le cuisinait pour le souper
'Cause that's about all they had to eat
Parce que c'est à peu près tout ce qu'ils avaient à manger
But they did all right
Mais ils s'en sortaient bien
Down in Louisiana
Dans la Louisiane
Where the alligators grow so mean
les alligators sont si méchants
There lived a girl that I swear to the world
Il y avait une fille, je te le jure
Made the alligators look tame
Qui rendait les alligators doux comme des agneaux
Polk salad Annie, polk salad Annie
Polk salad Annie, Polk salad Annie
Everybody said it was a shame
Tout le monde disait que c'était dommage
'Cause her mama was working on a chain-gang
Parce que sa maman travaillait sur une chaîne
A mean business woman
Une femme d'affaires impitoyable
Now, everyday 'fore supper time
Tous les jours, avant le souper
She'd go down by the truck patch
Elle descendait vers le champ de légumes
And pick her a mess o' Polk salad
Et cueillait un tas de Polk salad
And carry it home in a tote sack
Et le rapportait à la maison dans un sac
Polk salad Annie
Polk salad Annie
The gators got you granny
Les alligators ont mangé ta mamie
(Chomp, chomp, chomp)
(Croc, croc, croc)
Everybody said it was a shame
Tout le monde disait que c'était dommage
Cause her mama was a-workin' on a chain gang
Parce que sa maman travaillait sur une chaîne
A wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin' woman
Une femme méchante, haineuse, qui portait un rasoir
Lord have mercy, pick a mess of it
Aie pitié, ramasse-en un tas
Her daddy was lazy and no count
Son papa était paresseux et bon à rien
Claimed he had a bad back
Il disait qu'il avait mal au dos
All her brothers were fit for
Tous ses frères ne servaient à
Was stealin' watermelons out of my truck patch
Que voler des pastèques dans mon champ de légumes
Polk salad Annie
Polk salad Annie
The gators got your granny
Les alligators ont mangé ta mamie
(Woo hoo)
(Woo hoo)
Everybody said it was a shame
Tout le monde disait que c'était dommage
'Cause her mama was a-working on a chain gang
Parce que sa maman travaillait sur une chaîne
Sock a little polk salad to me
Donne-moi un peu de Polk salad
Know I need a mess of it
Je sais que j'en ai besoin
Ooh, good God
Oh, mon Dieu
Got to have me
J'en ai besoin
