Lyrics and translation Woody Guthrie - Talking Columbia (Remastered)




Talking Columbia (Remastered)
Parler de Columbia (Remasterisé)
Well, down along the river just a-sittin′ on a rock
Alors, en descendant le long de la rivière, juste assis sur un rocher
I'm a-lookin′ at the boats in the Bonneville lock.
Je regarde les bateaux dans l'écluse de Bonneville.
Gate swings open, the boat sails in,
La porte s'ouvre, le bateau entre,
Toot that whistle, she's gone again.
Fais sonner le sifflet, il est reparti.
Gasoline goin' up. Wheat comin′ down.
L'essence monte. Le blé descend.
Well, I filled up my hat brim, drunk a little taste,
Eh bien, j'ai rempli le bord de mon chapeau, j'ai bu une petite gorgée,
Thought about a river just a-goin′ to waste;
J'ai pensé à une rivière qui se gaspillait ;
Thought about the dust, an' thought about the sand,
J'ai pensé à la poussière, et j'ai pensé au sable,
Thought about the people, an′ thought about the land.
J'ai pensé aux gens, et j'ai pensé à la terre.
Folks runnin' round all over creation,
Les gens courent partout dans la création,
Lookin′ for some kind of little place.
À la recherche d'une petite place.
Well, I pulled out my pencil, scribbled this song,
Eh bien, j'ai sorti mon crayon, j'ai griffonné cette chanson,
Figured all them salmon just couldn't be wrong;
J'ai pensé que tous ces saumons ne pouvaient pas se tromper ;
Them salmon fish is mighty shrewd,
Ces saumons sont sacrément rusés,
They got senators and politicians, too.
Ils ont des sénateurs et des politiciens aussi.
Just about like the president. They run every four years.
Un peu comme le président. Ils courent tous les quatre ans.
You just watch this river, though, pretty soon
Mais regarde bien cette rivière, bientôt
Everybody′s gonna be changin' their tune;
Tout le monde va changer de ton ;
The big Grand Coulee and the Bonneville dams
Le grand Grand Coulee et les barrages de Bonneville
Run a thousand factories for Uncle Sam.
Font fonctionner des milliers d'usines pour Oncle Sam.
And everybody else in the world. Turnin' out
Et tout le monde dans le monde. Production
Everything from fertilizers to sewing machines,
De tout, des engrais aux machines à coudre,
And atomic bedrooms and plastic --
Et des chambres atomiques et du plastique -
Everything′s gonna be plastic.
Tout sera en plastique.
Uncle Sam need houses and stuff to eat,
Oncle Sam a besoin de maisons et de nourriture,
Uncle Sam needs wool, and Uncle Sam needs wheat,
Oncle Sam a besoin de laine, et Oncle Sam a besoin de blé,
Uncle Sam needs water and power dams,
Oncle Sam a besoin d'eau et de barrages hydroélectriques,
Uncle Sam needs people, and the people need land.
Oncle Sam a besoin de gens, et les gens ont besoin de terre.
′Course I don't like dictators none myself,
Bien sûr, je n'aime pas les dictateurs moi-même,
But then I think the whole country had ought to be run by
Mais je pense que tout le pays devrait être dirigé par
E-lec-trici-ty.
L'é-lec-tri-ci-té.
