Текст и перевод песни John Prine - Just Waitin'

Just Waitin'

The old maid's a waitin' for leap year to come, the crooner's just waitin' to sing
The old cow's standin' by the Bull Durham sign, just waitin' for the grass to turn green
The bar-fly's waitin' for an easy mark, the hitchhiker's just waitin' for a ride
The lifetimer's waitin' for a prison break, the beachcomber's waitin' for the tide

Farmer's daughter's waitin' for the salesman to take her into town
The city slicker's waitin' for the country boy to lay all his money down
You know everything comes to standstill and nothing seems to make a turn
Worm must be waitin' for the early bird, I guess the early bird's waitin' for the worm

Nobody wants to do nothin' just waitin' to get a finger in the pie
Waitin' for a call for a big quiz show or a waitin' for some rich uncle to die
Katy she's waitin' at the garden gate, the moonshiner's waitin' at the still
The gambler's still waitin' for that Ace in the hole and I Jack's still waitin' for Jill

Everybody's waitin' for something, but nothing seems to turn out right
Cause the night shift's waitin' for mornin' and the burglar he's just waitin' for night
The congregation's waitin' for the preacher, the preacher's just waitin' for the groom
The groom's just waitin' for the June bride and the bride's just waitin' for June
Sunflower's waitin' for the sunshine, violet's just waitin' for dew
Bee's just waitin' for honey and honey I'm just waitin' for you

Juste en attendant

La vieille fille attend que l'année bissextile arrive, le crooner attend juste de chanter
La vieille vache se tient près du panneau Bull Durham, attendant juste que l'herbe devienne verte
Le poivrot attend une proie facile, l'auto-stoppeur attend juste un trajet
Le bagnard attend une évasion de prison, le pilleur de plage attend la marée

La fille du fermier attend que le vendeur l'emmène en ville
Le citadin attend que le campagnard dépose tout son argent
Tu sais que tout s'arrête et rien ne semble changer
Le ver doit attendre l'oiseau matinal, je suppose que l'oiseau matinal attend le ver

Personne ne veut rien faire, attendant juste de mettre un doigt dans la tarte
Attendant un appel pour un grand jeu télévisé ou attendant qu'un riche oncle meure
Katy attend à la porte du jardin, le distillateur clandestin attend à l'alambic
Le joueur attend toujours cet As dans sa manche et moi Jack attend toujours Jill

Tout le monde attend quelque chose, mais rien ne semble bien tourner
Parce que l'équipe de nuit attend le matin et le cambrioleur attend juste la nuit
L'assemblée attend le prédicateur, le prédicateur attend juste le marié
Le marié attend juste la mariée de juin et la mariée attend juste juin
Le tournesol attend le soleil, la violette attend juste la rosée
L'abeille attend juste le miel et mon amour, j'attends juste toi
