Lyrics and translation Waylon Jennings - Red Velvet (1999)




Red Velvet (1999)
Red Velvet (1999)
Four months ago last April on a day coach she came down,
Il y a quatre mois, en avril, elle est arrivée en autocar,
Nasty Autumn winds began to blow
Des vents d'automne désagréables ont commencé à souffler
Should have known I couldn't hold her living out so far from town,
J'aurais savoir que je ne pouvais pas la garder vivant si loin de la ville,
The nights to come were long and slow to go.
Les nuits à venir étaient longues et lentes à passer.
If I had known, when first we kissed
Si j'avais su, quand on s'est embrassés pour la première fois
You can't keep Red Velvet on a border farm like this
Tu ne peux pas garder Red Velvet dans une ferme à la frontière comme celle-ci
Now she's up and left me and I'm walking down the line
Maintenant, elle est partie et je marche le long de la ligne
Dusty autumn, winds began to blow.
Un automne poussiéreux, les vents ont commencé à souffler.
All dressed up in red velvet in her high heel shoes so fine
Tout habillée de velours rouge, dans ses chaussures à talons hauts si fines
The nights to come were long and slow to go
Les nuits à venir étaient longues et lentes à passer
Somewhere in Vietnam a 19 year old soldier walked out of a barroom
Quelque part au Vietnam, un soldat de 19 ans est sorti d'un bar
And he said, "I must be seeing things, that bourbon hit me like a baseball bat."
Et il a dit: "Je dois voir des choses, ce bourbon m'a frappé comme une batte de baseball."
In Belfast, Ireland a little lady dropped her shovel in her garden
À Belfast, en Irlande, une petite dame a laissé tomber sa pelle dans son jardin
She raced across the yard and asked her neighbor Mrs. Clancy, "What was that?"
Elle a traversé la cour et a demandé à sa voisine, Mme Clancy: "Qu'est-ce que c'était ?"
In Memphis, Tennesee a teacher raised the window, closest to the river
À Memphis, Tennessee, une enseignante a ouvert la fenêtre la plus proche de la rivière
And the children in her classroom swore they heard a choir singing down the street.
Et les enfants de sa classe ont juré qu'ils avaient entendu une chorale chanter dans la rue.
In Washington, DC a private secretaries lips began to quiver
À Washington, D.C., les lèvres d'une secrétaire particulière ont commencé à trembler
And the president just put aside his papers and rose quickly to his feet.
Et le président a juste mis ses papiers de côté et s'est levé rapidement.
I lay in a cheap motel in the arms of someone else's woman
Je me suis couché dans un motel bon marché dans les bras de la femme d'un autre
When a loud explosion rocked the room and turned the morning into night
Quand une forte explosion a secoué la pièce et a transformé le matin en nuit
I jumped out of bed and ran into the street with hardly any clothes on,
J'ai sauté du lit et j'ai couru dans la rue presque nu,
As the sky lit up, my heart stood still and I could feel my face as it turned to white.
Alors que le ciel s'illuminait, mon cœur s'est arrêté et j'ai senti mon visage blanchir.
All at once the clouds rolled back and there stood Jesus Christ in all His glory and I realized
Soudain, les nuages se sont retirés et Jésus-Christ s'est tenu devant moi dans toute sa gloire, et j'ai réalisé
The saddest eyes I'd ever seen were looking straight at me.
Les yeux les plus tristes que j'aie jamais vus me regardaient droit dans les yeux.
I guess I was awakened by the penetrating sound of my own screaming
Je suppose que je me suis réveillé par le son perçant de mes propres cris
And it didn't take me long to stumble out of bed and fall down on my knees.
Et il ne m'a pas fallu longtemps pour sortir du lit et tomber à genoux.
As tears rolled down my face I cried dear Lord, I'm thankful I was only dreaming,
Alors que des larmes coulaient sur mon visage, j'ai pleuré, cher Seigneur, je suis reconnaissant de n'avoir fait que rêver,
And if I never go to hell Lord, it'll be because you scared it out of me...
Et si je ne vais jamais en enfer, Seigneur, ce sera parce que tu me l'as fait peur...
