Lyrics and translation Woody Guthrie - Bad Lee Brown (Remastered)

Bad Lee Brown (Remastered)

Bad Lee Brown (Remasterisé)

It was late last night I made my rounds

C'était tard hier soir que j'ai fait mes rondes

I met my woman and I blowed her down

J'ai rencontré ma femme et je l'ai fait tomber

I went on home and I went to bed

Je suis rentré chez moi et je suis allé me coucher

I laid my pistol up under my head

J'ai mis mon pistolet sous ma tête

Early next morning, by the rising sun

Tôt le lendemain matin, au lever du soleil

I woke up and a started to run

Je me suis réveillé et j'ai commencé à courir

I made a run but I run too slow

J'ai couru, mais j'ai couru trop lentement

A man overtook me down in Jericho

Un homme m'a rattrapé à Jéricho

I was standing on the corner reading my daddy′s will

J'étais debout au coin de la rue en lisant le testament de mon père

'Long came a man they call him Bad Texas Bill

Un homme est arrivé, ils l'appellent Bad Texas Bill

He said, "Uhh, Captain, is your name Lee Brown?

Il a dit : "Euh, Capitaine, ton nom est-il Lee Brown ?

I believe that you the rascal blowed yer woman down"

Je crois que tu es le voyou qui a fait tomber ta femme"

I said, "Yes sir, Captain, my name is Lee

J'ai dit : "Oui, monsieur, Capitaine, mon nom est Lee

And if you got any blues boy sing ′em to me"

Et si vous avez des blues, garçon, chantez-les moi"

"Well I guess Lee, that you know the best

"Eh bien, je suppose que Lee, tu connais le mieux

You better come with me the judge will tell you the rest"

Tu ferais mieux de venir avec moi, le juge te dira le reste"

When I was arrested I was dressed in black

Quand j'ai été arrêté, j'étais habillé en noir

Put me on a train and they brung me back

Ils m'ont mis dans un train et ils m'ont ramené

Jury found me guilty in the first degree

Le jury m'a trouvé coupable au premier degré

And they laid me down in the penitentiary

Et ils m'ont mis en prison

Yes, the judge found me guilty and the jury too

Oui, le juge m'a trouvé coupable et le jury aussi

I cried, "Lord in Heaven, have some mercy on me"

J'ai pleuré : "Seigneur, dans les cieux, aie pitié de moi"

I'll be here for the rest of my life

Je serai ici pour le reste de ma vie

All I done was kill my wife

Tout ce que j'ai fait, c'est tuer ma femme
