Ballad of Ira Hayes (Live At Newport Folk Festival, Newport, RI, July 16, 1964)
La Ballade d'Ira Hayes (En direct du Newport Folk Festival, Newport, RI, 16 juillet 1964)
Call him drunken Ira Hayes
Appelle-le Ira Hayes, l'ivrogne
He won't answer anymore
Il ne répondra plus
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Ni l'Indien buvant du whisky
Nor the Marine that went to war
Ni le marin qui est parti en guerre
Gather round me people there's a story I would tell
Rassemblez-vous autour de moi, car il y a une histoire que je veux vous raconter
About a brave young Indian you should remember well
À propos d'un jeune Indien courageux dont tu devrais te souvenir
From the land of the Pima Indian
De la terre des Indiens Pima
A proud and noble band
Une tribu fière et noble
Who farmed the Phoenix valley in Arizona land
Qui cultivait la vallée de Phoenix en Arizona
Down the ditches for a thousand years
Le long des fossés depuis mille ans
The water grew Ira's peoples' crops
L'eau faisait pousser les récoltes du peuple d'Ira
'Till the white man stole the water rights
Jusqu'à ce que l'homme blanc vole les droits à l'eau
And the sparklin' water stopped
Et que l'eau étincelante s'arrête
Now Ira's folks were hungry
Maintenant, le peuple d'Ira avait faim
And their land grew crops of weeds
Et leur terre ne faisait pousser que des mauvaises herbes
When war came, Ira volunteered
Quand la guerre est arrivée, Ira s'est porté volontaire
And forgot the white man's greed
Et a oublié la cupidité de l'homme blanc
Call him drunken Ira Hayes
Appelle-le Ira Hayes, l'ivrogne
He won't answer anymore
Il ne répondra plus
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Ni l'Indien buvant du whisky
Nor the Marine that went to war
Ni le marin qui est parti en guerre
There they battled up Iwo Jima's hill,
Là-bas, ils se sont battus sur la colline d'Iwo Jima,
Two hundred and fifty men
Deux cent cinquante hommes
But only twenty-seven lived to walk back down again
Mais seulement vingt-sept ont survécu pour redescendre
And when the fight was over
Et quand le combat fut terminé
And when Old Glory raised
Et quand le drapeau américain fut hissé
Among the men who held it high
Parmi les hommes qui le tenaient haut
Was the Indian, Ira Hayes
Il y avait l'Indien, Ira Hayes
Call him drunken Ira Hayes
Appelle-le Ira Hayes, l'ivrogne
He won't answer anymore
Il ne répondra plus
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Ni l'Indien buvant du whisky
Nor the Marine that went to war
Ni le marin qui est parti en guerre
Ira Hayes returned a hero
Ira Hayes est rentré chez lui en héros
Celebrated through the land
Célébré dans tout le pays
He was wined and speeched and honored; Everybody shook his hand
Il a été invité à des dîners, on a fait des discours en son honneur ; Tout le monde lui a serré la main
But he was just a Pima Indian
Mais il n'était qu'un Indien Pima
No water, no home, no chance
Pas d'eau, pas de maison, pas de chance
At home nobody cared what Ira'd done
Chez lui, personne ne se souciait de ce qu'Ira avait fait
And when did the Indians dance
Et quand est-ce que les Indiens dansent ?
Call him drunken Ira Hayes
Appelle-le Ira Hayes, l'ivrogne
He won't answer anymore
Il ne répondra plus
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Ni l'Indien buvant du whisky
Nor the Marine that went to war
Ni le marin qui est parti en guerre
Then Ira started drinkin' hard;
Alors Ira a commencé à boire beaucoup ;
Jail was often his home
La prison était souvent sa maison
They'd let him raise the flag and lower it
Ils le laissaient hisser le drapeau et le baisser
like you'd throw a dog a bone!
Comme on jetterait un os à un chien !
He died drunk early one mornin'
Il est mort ivre un matin
Alone in the land he fought to save
Seul dans le pays pour lequel il s'était battu
Two inches of water in a lonely ditch
Deux pouces d'eau dans un fossé solitaire
Was a grave for Ira Hayes
Étaient un tombeau pour Ira Hayes
Call him drunken Ira Hayes
Appelle-le Ira Hayes, l'ivrogne
He won't answer anymore
Il ne répondra plus
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Ni l'Indien buvant du whisky
Nor the Marine that went to war
Ni le marin qui est parti en guerre
Yeah, call him drunken Ira Hayes
Oui, appelle-le Ira Hayes, l'ivrogne
But his land is just as dry
Mais sa terre est toujours aussi sèche
And his ghost is lyin' thirsty
Et son fantôme est assoiffé
In the ditch where Ira died
Dans le fossé Ira est mort
