Uncle Dave Macon - We Are Up Against It Now

Lyrics and translation Uncle Dave Macon - We Are Up Against It Now




We Are Up Against It Now
On est mal en point maintenant
The world is turned upside down, it surely must be true
Le monde est sens dessus dessous, c'est sûr et certain
The way that things are running now proves that to me and you
La façon dont les choses se passent maintenant le prouve à toi et à moi
We're up against it now
On est mal en point maintenant
There's no use to raise a row
Il n'y a pas de raison de faire du remue-ménage
But of all the times I've ever seen
Mais de tous les moments que j'ai vus
We're sure up against it now
On est vraiment mal en point maintenant
Since the highway's come, they've taxed the farmer down
Depuis que l'autoroute est arrivée, ils ont taxé les agriculteurs
The road's so slick his team can't travel and he has to walk to town
La route est si lisse que son attelage ne peut pas circuler et il doit aller en ville à pied
Since the auto's come, mules and horses won't sell
Depuis que l'auto est arrivée, les mules et les chevaux ne se vendent plus
The farmer's land is mortgaged down and the country's gone to (strum)
Les terres des agriculteurs sont hypothéquées et le pays est allé à (strum)
A farmer bought him a tractor, he raised quite an alarm
Un agriculteur a acheté un tracteur, il a fait pas mal de bruit
He only broke one little piece and he had to sell his farm
Il n'a cassé qu'une petite pièce et il a dû vendre sa ferme
We're up against it now
On est mal en point maintenant
There's no use to raise a row
Il n'y a pas de raison de faire du remue-ménage
But the safest rig I've ever seen
Mais le véhicule le plus sûr que j'aie jamais vu
Is a mule and a bull-tongue plough
C'est une mule et une charrue à soc
He once was happy as a lark, but now he's down and out
Il était autrefois heureux comme un pinson, mais maintenant il est à terre
The auto is the thing they say, that brought this all about
L'automobile est la chose, dit-on, qui a causé tout ça
The farmer who's the one we know, on whom we must depend
L'agriculteur, celui que l'on connaît, celui dont nous dépendons
Is up against it with the rest, with troubles to amend
Est mal en point avec le reste, avec des problèmes à réparer
