Willie And Laura Mae Jones - Remastered Version
Willie et Laura Mae Jones - Version remasterisée
Willie and Laura Mae Jones
Willie et Laura Mae Jones
Were our neighbors as long time back
Étaient nos voisins il y a longtemps
They lived right down the road from us
Ils habitaient juste en bas de la route, chez nous
In a shack just like our shack
Dans une cabane comme la nôtre
We worked in the fields together
On travaillait ensemble dans les champs
And we learned to count on each other
Et on a appris à compter l'un sur l'autre
When you live off the land
Quand tu vis de la terre
You don't have time to think
Tu n'as pas le temps de penser
About another man's color
À la couleur d'un autre homme
The cotton was high
Le coton était haut
And the corn was growing fine
Et le maïs poussait bien
But that was another place and another time
Mais c'était un autre lieu et une autre époque
We sit out on the front porch
On s'asseyait sur le perron
In the evening when the sun went down
Le soir quand le soleil se couchait
Willie would play and Laura would sing
Willie jouait et Laura chantait
And the children would dance around
Et les enfants dansaient autour
And I'd bring over my guitar
Et j'apportais ma guitare
And we'd play into the night
Et on jouait jusqu'à la nuit
And every now and then
Et de temps en temps
Willie would grin and say
Willie souriait et disait
"Boy, you play all right"
"Mec, tu joues bien"
And that made me feel so good
Et ça me faisait tellement plaisir
Lord the cotton was high
Seigneur, le coton était haut
And the corn was growing fine
Et le maïs poussait bien
But that was another place and another time
Mais c'était un autre lieu et une autre époque
I remember we'd hitch up the mules
Je me souviens qu'on attelait les mulets
When Saturday rolled around
Quand le samedi arrivait
We'd always stop by Willies house and say
On s'arrêtait toujours chez Willie et on disait
"Do you'll need anything from town?"
"As-tu besoin de quelque chose de la ville?"
He'd say, "No, but why don't you'll
Il répondait, "Non, mais pourquoi ne pas
Stop on your way back home
S'arrêter sur votre chemin du retour
And I'll get Laura Mae
Et j'irai chercher Laura Mae
To cook up some corn porns?"
Pour qu'elle prépare du maïs?"
You know they're good
Tu sais qu'ils sont bons
Lord the cotton was high
Seigneur, le coton était haut
And the corn was growing fine
Et le maïs poussait bien
But that was another place and another time
Mais c'était un autre lieu et une autre époque
The years rolled past our land
Les années ont défilé sur notre terre
They took back what they'd given
Ils ont repris ce qu'ils avaient donné
And we all knew we'd have to move
Et on savait tous qu'on allait devoir déménager
If we was gonna make a living
Si on voulait gagner notre vie
So we all moved off
Alors on a tous déménagé
And went our separate ways
Et on a pris des chemins différents
And it sure was hard to say goodbye
Et c'était vraiment dur de dire au revoir
To Willies and Laura Mae Jones
À Willie et Laura Mae Jones
The cotton was high
Le coton était haut
And the corn was growing fine, yes it was
Et le maïs poussait bien, oui c'est vrai
But that was another place and another time
Mais c'était un autre lieu et une autre époque
The years rolled past our door
Les années ont passé devant notre porte
And we heard from them no more
Et on n'a plus jamais eu de nouvelles d'eux
Till I saw Willie down town the other day
Jusqu'à ce que je voie Willie en ville l'autre jour
I said, "Just stop by tonight
J'ai dit, "Passe juste ce soir
And we can sit down and eat a bite
Et on peut s'asseoir et manger un morceau
We'd love to see your children and Laura Mae"
On aimerait voir tes enfants et Laura Mae"
He shook his head real slow
Il a secoué la tête lentement
And spoke with his eyes so can
Et a parlé avec ses yeux, si bien
This is another place and another time
C'est un autre lieu et une autre époque
Lord the cotton was high
Seigneur, le coton était haut
And the corn was growing fine
Et le maïs poussait bien
But that was another place and another time
Mais c'était un autre lieu et une autre époque
Lord, Lord the cotton was high
Seigneur, Seigneur, le coton était haut
And the corn was growing fine
Et le maïs poussait bien
But that was another place and another time
Mais c'était un autre lieu et une autre époque
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Seigneur, Seigneur, Seigneur, Seigneur
The cotton was high
Le coton était haut
And the corn was growing fine
Et le maïs poussait bien
But that was another place and another time
Mais c'était un autre lieu et une autre époque
